NeoQN — QuickNovel Enhanced

Ad-free, open-source novel downloader and EPUB reader for Android.


NeoQN is a complete overhaul of the original QuickNovel app — rebuilt from the ground up with a modern UI layer, high-performance internals, and deep customization options.


✨ Features

🌟 Power Features — What Makes NeoQN Unique

  • Vibe & Aura Aesthetic Engine — A one-of-a-kind visual personalisation suite: Cover Aura Glow (dynamic color blooms behind novel covers), Reader Ink Flow animations, Card Border Styles, Noise Texture overlays, and contrast adjustment sliders — all tunable in one place.
  • Floating Glassmorphism UI — Every screen is built in Jetpack Compose (Material 3) with translucent glass cards, spring-physics micro-animations, and edge-to-edge layouts. The UI breathes and feels alive.
  • Cinematic Reader Backgrounds — Set any image as your reader backdrop and transform it with real-time artistic effects — Noir, Sepia, Threshold, Edge Detection, Halftone Dots, and more — plus Blur, Grain, and Dim intensity controls.
  • NeoNexus Community Folder — A built-in community hub for sharing sources, presets, and configuration bundles directly inside the app.
  • NeoShelf — Smart Shelving — Intelligent shelf organisation that groups, surfaces, and recommends novels based on your personal reading habits.
  • Baseline Profiled Startup — Pre-compiled ART Baseline Profiles cut cold-start time by up to 30% and eliminate jank on first launch — no warm-up period.
  • Decentralized Plugin System — Providers are sandboxed, independently updatable plugins. Get the latest sources (currently 43 confirmed working providers) from the Telegram channel without ever updating the app.

🎨 Personalisation & Themes

  • App-Wide Trendy Fonts — Choose from a curated collection of modern typefaces applied globally across every screen, with a scaling slider for perfect comfort.
  • Custom Backgrounds with Artistic Effects — Apply Noir, Sepia, Threshold, Edge Detection, Dot patterns, and more to any background image, with independent Blur, Grain, and Dim controls.
  • AMOLED / Light / Material You Themes — True pitch-black OLED mode for battery savings, a crisp light theme, and full Monet dynamic coloring that pulls palette from your wallpaper on Android 12+.
  • 3 Novel Detail Screen Layouts — Switch between three premium landing-page designs, each with a dynamic cover-matched color palette.

📚 Library & Organisation

  • List, Grid & Pinterest Bento Grid — Three library layouts including a GPU-accelerated masonry bento grid with 3D tilt parallax on cover art.
  • Custom Library Categories — Create, rename, and reorder personal library folders (Reading, Completed, On-Hold, Dropped, or fully custom named).
  • Bulk Actions — Multi-select novels to migrate, move, delete, or re-categorise in a single operation.
  • Novel Updates Section — A dedicated updates feed showing new chapters across your entire library, sorted and filtered by recency.
  • For You Feed — A locally computed recommendation dashboard surfacing new novels based on your taste profile — fully private, no account needed.

📖 Reader & Reading Experience

  • Rich Reader Customisation — Fine-grained controls: Text Size, Side Margin, Top Margin, Paragraph Spacing, custom Reader Fonts, and a paginated viewer mode for book-like page turns.
  • Bionic Reading — Bolds the dominant letters of every word to trigger the brain's natural pattern-recognition and boost reading speed.
  • AutoScroll — Hands-free continuous scrolling with adjustable speed for a comfortable, no-touch reading session.
  • Reading Progress Bar — A persistent visual indicator showing exactly how far through a chapter or book you are at a glance.
  • Reading Timer — Track time spent reading per session and cumulatively per novel — great for streaks and goals.
  • Inbuilt Dictionary — Tap any word in the reader to get an instant definition without leaving the app or switching context.
  • Reader Themes — Create & Share — Build custom color themes (background, text, link, highlight colors) and export or share them with the community.
  • Reader Cleaner — Automatically strips chapter clutter, inline ads, and formatting noise pulled from raw web content.
  • Replace Words / Aliases — Define global word substitutions or character name aliases that apply silently across all chapters as you read.
  • Notes & Aliases Manager — Attach personal notes to any passage and manage all annotations and aliases in a single organised panel.
  • Notes on Novel Detail Screen — Add freeform notes directly on a novel's detail page — thoughts, arc summaries, or reminders for when you return.

📊 Reading Stats & Insights

  • Detailed Reading History Metrics — Session duration, words read, chapters finished, daily streaks, and per-novel breakdowns — all computed and stored locally on-device.
  • Smart Recommendations — On-device engine surfaces novels matching your reading pattern without sending data anywhere.

🌐 Translation

  • Three Translation Modes — Choose between ML Kit on-device (offline & private), Google Translate online (cloud accuracy), or AI Translation (context-aware, paragraph-level quality) — all switchable per session inside the reader.

🔄 Sync & Backup

  • Google Drive Sync — Back up your entire library, reading progress, and settings to Google Drive and restore on any device instantly.
  • Telegram Sync — Push backups to a private Telegram bot or channel for instant cross-device access.
  • Local Wi-Fi Sync — Sync library and reading progress between devices on the same network — no internet or cloud required.
  • Cache Management — View and selectively clear cached chapters, cover art, and provider data to keep the app's storage footprint under control.

🛡️ Network & Downloads

  • Automatic Cloudflare Solving — Built-in JS/Turnstile challenge solver handles protected provider sites automatically so downloads never silently fail.
  • DNS over HTTPS (DoH) — Routes all provider requests through encrypted DNS resolvers for improved privacy and reliability.
  • Custom Download Configurations — Per-novel settings: concurrent thread count, retry logic, delay between requests, and precise chapter range selection.
  • Custom Proxy Support — Route provider traffic through any HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy or VPN endpoint with a single tap.

🗂️ Import & Export
