Author's Note

From a long-time audiobook listener

I am a software engineer and a long-time audiobook listener. Leelaa Reader began with a simple need: to manage my own library and listen reliably without handing my content to a cloud platform.

I wanted a quiet, dependable service that could run on a NAS for years, keep listening data under my control, and work naturally across the devices I use every day.

After years of design, rebuilding, and daily use, that personal tool gradually became Leelaa Reader.

Today it includes a self-hosted server, web access, official mobile and in-car clients, and an open API for supported third-party apps. These parts share the same library and account-based listening data.

The goal remains unchanged: keep library management practical, playback dependable, progress accurate, and long-term self-hosting straightforward.

Updates

  • 【Profile】Improved online updates for the domestic fnOS FPK: validated packages replace the online service directly, startup failures keep a clear error and stop endless retries, and a full FPK reinstall prioritizes the bundled version.
  • 【User System and Login】Activation failures now show a clear explanation. Cases such as an already licensed device no longer display internal error codes.
  • 【Network Service Settings】Fixed an issue where the connection timeout message appeared in English when adding an FNOS service.
  • 【Book Detail and Management】Fixed a security vulnerability.
  • 【Player】Fixed a security vulnerability. Thanks to Guanru Xie from FNOS NAS for reporting it.
