## Description

iSputnik is a private, self-hosted family media library for audiobooks, ebooks, photos, and videos, currently in beta (4.0.0 and later). It includes a built-in audiobook player, an in-browser ebook reader, and a photo and video gallery with on-device face recognition, albums, MP4 slideshows, and a Photo Inbox for scans or photos from relatives. Users can add family stories and recipes, keep a family tree linked to recognized people, and manage multiple accounts with per-person progress, permissions, guest links, passkeys, and two-factor sign-in. An installable PWA supports offline listening, and the interface is available in English or Russian. During beta, the database migrates forward on upgrades, a pre-upgrade copy is saved, and scheduled backups are available from the Control panel. Features are still changing during beta.

## Common questions

### Will my database be safe if I upgrade from a beta version of iSputnik .home?

The beta version is designed to keep your data safe: the database migrates itself forward on every upgrade, and a copy is saved before each new version starts.

### Can family members use separate accounts?

Yes, iSputnik .home is multi-user, so different people can have their own access.

### Is there a mobile or installable app?

It provides an installable PWA, with offline listening available.

### Is it just a rebrand of one existing self-hosted app?

It is inspired by Audiobookshelf, Immich, and Paperless-ngx, but the goal is to combine their best ideas into one platform rather than replicate a single solution.

### Do the related iSputnik projects have a central starting point?

The isputnik.main repository is the public-facing index for related iSputnik repos and starts with isputnik.home.
