Library

Every VN you've played with the app running, with its time read, status and a Play button.

The list

At the top: how many games, the total time read and this week's. Each card shows the cover, the status, the time read, when you last played and the VNDB id.

  • Sort: Most read, Recent or A–Z.
  • Filter: type in Filter… to search by name, or pick a status in All statuses.
  • ▶ Play starts the game. If it says Locate… instead, the app doesn't know where the .exe is yet (or it moved): point it to the game's .exe once.
  • Random from wishlist: can't decide what to read next? See VNDB list & wishlist.
Recent
Filtered on Finished

A VN's page

Click a card to open its page.

  • Change cover & privacy…: change its cover or what Discord shows for it, even when the game isn't running (see Covers).
  • Status: Playing, Finished, Stalled or Dropped. A VN you start is set to Playing.
  • Rating: your VNDB vote, sent to your VNDB account. Needs your VNDB token and a confirmed VNDB match: if the page shows Confirm next to the VNDB id, click it once you've checked it's the right VN.
  • Launch with: Normal, Locale Emulator or NTLEA, for Japanese games that show garbled text. See Japanese locale.
  • Tiles: Total read, This week, Sessions, Last played.
  • Time read chart: day by day over the last 30 days, or by week over 12 weeks.
  • Screenshots of this VN, with View all to open them in the gallery.
A finished VN, with its rating.

Fix the time read

Read part of the VN before installing the app, or forgot to close it overnight? Click Edit total read under the tiles, enter the hours and minutes, and click Save. The day-by-day history doesn't change: only the total does.

Remove a VN

Remove forgets the VN's saved time read, reading history, cover and privacy settings. Nothing is uninstalled, and its screenshots are kept. If you start the game again, it comes back as a new entry.

To hide a program from the Library for good (a launcher, a game that isn't a VN), use Not a VN while it runs, or add it in Settings → Never detect.
