Kolumi
For kids
Just covers, big enough for small fingers. Long-press a picture and the title is read aloud. At bedtime it stops at a set time, and the current episode may still finish.

FAQ
Questions
Does Kolumi come with content?
No. Kolumi has no shop and no content of its own. It plays what’s on your Audiobookshelf or Navidrome server.
What is Kolumi Server, and do I need it?
Kolumi Server is a small add-on server for families. It handles profiles, kids’ rules, wishes and listening together. Without it, Kolumi works as a regular player for Audiobookshelf and Navidrome. Set up Kolumi Server
Does Kolumi cost anything?
No. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases.
What happens to my data?
Kolumi only talks to the servers you add. There’s no account with us, no tracking and no analytics. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can a child use it alone?
That’s what the kids view is for. No menus, just covers. Parents decide what’s on the shelf and leave the view with a PIN. An old tablet on the wall is all you need.
Is Kolumi available for Android?
Yes, on Google Play. Until the official launch there’s a beta.
