Kompanion app for Android description
Kompanion
Kompanion is a remote control companion app for KOReader. It connects over your local network to the HTTP Inspector plugin built into KOReader, letting you control your e-reader from your phone.
Features:
- Frontlight intensity and warmth control
- Night mode toggle
- Full screen refresh
- Five custom profile buttons that activate one of your KOReader profiles
- Page turning with the volume buttons, with remapping capabilities
- Navigate back and forward between followed links, with a custom back button
- Text input screen to get, send, and clear text inside any input widget in KOReader, useful for writing notes from the comfort of your phone
- Reading mode: an immersive mode with minimal UI and minimal brightness
- Keyboard shortcuts: common keyboards are supported, so you can use this app as a bridge for most PowerPoint presenter sticks
- Battery information: fetches the current battery capacity and creates a graph for the current session
Setup:
- Install and open KOReader on your e-reader
- Go to Tools -> More Tools -> KOReader HTTP Inspector and start the HTTP server (note the port, 8080 by default)
- Go to Settings -> Network -> Network info and note the devices IP address
- In Kompanion, enter the IP and port and press Connect
This app requires KOReaders HTTP Inspector plugin to be running on the same local network; it does not talk to any server outside your network.
