Your Books.
Beautifully Organized.
Colibri is a library you actually own—simple to use, accessible from any device, and easy to share with friends and family.
What is Colibri?
Colibri is a personal ebook server you host yourself. Upload your collection, and Colibri enriches it with professional bibliographic metadata from 14+ sources—Library of Congress, WikiData, Open Library, and more. Accurate titles, authors, series, publishers, and identifiers, without the manual cataloging work.
Access from any device, organize into collections, and share with friends and family. No platform lock-in, no tracking. Just your books, properly cataloged.
Simple by design
Upload your books
Drop in your EPUBs, MOBIs, or PDFs. Colibri extracts what it can and enriches the rest automatically.
Organize effortlessly
Create collections, track what you've read, rate and review. Your library, organized the way you think about it.
Access anywhere
Your books are available on any device with a browser. No syncing, no app stores, no friction.
Share with people you trust
Invite family and friends. Everyone gets their own space, their own collections, their own reading history.
Built different
We built Colibri because we wanted a library that felt personal again. One where your reading habits aren't training an algorithm, where you don't lose access when a service shuts down, and where sharing a book recommendation doesn't require everyone to sign up for the same platform.
Colibri is open source, self-hosted, and designed for people who believe their books—and their data—should belong to them.
