YOUR LIBRARY, ON YOUR COMPUTER
Find a story.
Keep every saved chapter.
Load the full LNMTL catalogue or add a novel by URL or short name. Search by title or author, inspect covers and synopses, and select several novels to download or export.
01 / BROWSE & MANAGE
A catalogue you can explore.
See posters, authors, synopses, chapter counts and saved progress. Refresh metadata and the chapter index without losing saved chapters.
02 / DOWNLOAD & RESUME
Every saved chapter stays saved.
Try a three-chapter sample or save all indexed chapters across volumes and paginated lists. Each successful chapter is saved immediately; resuming skips chapters already stored.
03 / PRESERVE & READ
Your archive stays with you.
Saved chapters remain available even if LNMTL later removes their links. Choose your library folder and back up or transfer your archive by copying that folder.
ONE NOVEL OR THE WHOLE CATALOGUE
A queue that remembers.
A library that lasts.
Download entire catalogue queues every novel and saves full novels regardless of sample mode. Novels download sequentially, one request at a time, with the queue stored locally across restarts.
PAUSE & RECOVER
Pick up where you left off.
Pause safely, resume after closing or interruption, or enable resume when the app opens. A library lock prevents two queue runners from using the same archive simultaneously.
RETRY & CONTINUE
Keep the queue moving.
Ordinary download or export failures do not stop other novels. Failed jobs retry up to three times per run with increasing delays. Use Resume queue for unfinished and failed jobs.
PROGRESS & ACTIVITY
Know what’s happening.
Follow the current novel, saved chapter count, percentage and completed jobs. Select queued novels to inspect saved errors or expand Show activity for detailed messages.
During downloads, keep the app open and your computer awake. You can browse Library and Settings while a background job runs.
FROM SAVED CHAPTERS TO OFFLINE BOOKS
Your book.
Your reading format.
Export manually once at least one chapter is saved, or automatically after each queued novel finishes downloading. Each queued job keeps the automatic export formats chosen when it was added.
Familiar, linked pages.
An A5 document with linked contents and page numbers, ready for offline reading.
Open it in your browser.
A self-contained book with embedded images that you can open without an internet connection.
Keep the details that make a book.
Exports can include the poster, title, author, synopsis and source attribution, plus volume headings, chapter headings and linked contents. Embedded posters work offline.
Blue glossary terms, green modified words, italics, bold, heavier emphasis and supported inline formatting are preserved, along with source links and a statement of download completeness.
Partial books, clearly labelled.
You do not have to wait for every chapter. Partial exports state how many chapters are included. Every export also creates an archive report listing included chapters and outstanding downloads or errors.
A FEW PREFERENCES. A LIBRARY THAT STAYS YOURS.
Saved locally.
Under your control.
Your local database keeps metadata, cleaned chapter text, progress, errors and queues. The archive also retains original downloaded pages, checksums and download timestamps.
Choose another library folder or open your exported-books folder from Settings. Clear downloaded data, optionally remove exported books, reset preferences, or remove the default app-data folder.

BEFORE YOU TURN THE PAGE
A few good
questions.
Can I choose individual chapters?
No. You choose novels, and the app downloads their available indexed chapters as a whole-novel job. There is no individual chapter picker. Turn off Sample mode to download the full available novel rather than a sample.
Is it really free?
Yes. All features are free to use. If the app becomes part of your reading routine, you can optionally support the project.
Do I need Python or other software?
No. Download a packaged release for your computer. Python and the PDF engine are included. See the user guide for platform-specific help.
How do I download the whole novel?
Sample mode saves three new chapters per novel. Turn it off in Settings to download all indexed chapters for selected novels. Or use Download entire catalogue, which always saves full novels. Export saved chapters manually or enable automatic exports for queued novels.
Can I continue a download later?
Yes. Your progress is kept locally. Reopen the app and resume; chapters already saved are skipped. Refresh the novel index to find newly available chapters.
Can I run it from source or use the command line?
Yes. Standalone releases support Windows x64, Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and compatible Linux x64 systems, with Python and the PDF engine bundled. The source repository also provides command-line commands for loading the catalogue, indexing novels, downloading chapters, exporting books and checking archive status.
What if my computer shows a security prompt?
The releases are not currently signed or notarized, so your operating system may show a warning. Read the platform instructions before opening the app if you encounter a prompt.
Does it translate novels or work without internet?
The app downloads the available English novel content from lnmtl.com; it does not translate new text. You need internet and an accessible source site to download novels. Exported books can be read offline. It preserves the English machine-translated text available on LNMTL. It does not create translations, reconstruct missing chapters, bypass site access blocks, or download from other novel websites. Previously saved chapters remain in your archive even if their source links disappear.
