Getting started
- Open Seshat and choose where your library should live. The default is a Seshat Library folder in Documents.
- Coming from Calibre? Choose File → Import Calibre Library… and pick your Calibre folder. Seshat copies the books and leaves the folder untouched.
- Pick a folder layout in Seshat → Settings → Library, such as Author / Series / Title.
- Search as you type. Narrow it with author:, series: or tag:.
Common questions
Does Seshat change my Calibre library? No. Import only reads it. Your books are copied into Seshat's own folder, and Calibre keeps working as before.
Why does Seshat edit my book files? So your corrections travel with the book. When "Keep book files updated" is on, changes are written into EPUB files in the background. Other formats keep their changes in Seshat's catalog. You can turn it off in Settings.
What does the AI fixer need? Claude Code, signed in to your own Claude account. Seshat sends a book's details and its opening pages, and nothing else. See the privacy policy.
How do I copy a book to my Kindle? Connect the Kindle by USB, select books and choose Copy to Kindle. EPUBs are converted on your Mac first.
