Libiry2Go scans your library and creates markdown files containing book data. Perfect for creating mobile-friendly book lists, Obsidian vaults or backup catalogs. These files can be:
- Viewed on any device with a markdown reader
- Imported into Obsidian
- Used as a portable backup of your library catalog
- Shared with others as a reading list
You start it with the ‘Libiry apps’ button on Libiry’s main screen.
Key features
- Scans entire folder hierarchies
- Multiple formats - Supports EPUB, MOBI, PDF, CBR, CBZ and more
- Field compatibility - Uses the same field names as Libiry
Each Libiry2Go file contains YAML frontmatter, compatible with Obsidian.
Margaret Atwood - The Handmaid's Tale.md
Margaret Atwood - The Handmaid's Tale(1).md
William Gibson - Neuromancer.md
Renate Oude Nijeweme - Insular.md
The file naming pattern is <author> - <booktitle>(<sequence number>).md. If the author and booktitle are empty, the book file name is copied.
File name sanitization:
- Spaces → hyphens
- Special characters are removed
- Maximum 100 characters
- Duplicate handling with numbers
