Legado with MD3
📖 Introduction
Legado with MD3 is a Material Design 3–styled refactor based on the open-source project 👉 Legado (阅读).
In addition to a visual redesign of the UI, this project introduces multiple branch-specific features. It is also gradually migrating from the traditional View system to Jetpack Compose, aiming to deliver a more modern, smooth, and consistent reading experience.
Caution
Important Notes
Due to the theme system being rebuilt on top of the Monet engine, themes from the official version are not compatible with this fork.
Devices below Android 12: Custom themes and dynamic color features are currently unavailable. This limitation will be addressed after the Jetpack Compose migration is completed. (Due to limited developer resources, this process may take a considerable amount of time.)

Compared to the official version, this project provides the following exclusive features:
- New Theme System: A fully redesigned Material Design 3 UI, with support for predictive back gestures and * shared element transitions*.
- Reading Interface: More personalized reading layouts and menu configurations.
- Reading Records: Detailed reading statistics with timeline and chapter-based views.
- Enhanced Experience: Improved experiences for comic reading, audiobooks, and discovery pages.
- Bookshelf Layouts: More bookshelf layout options, with dedicated UI optimizations for tablet devices.
- Practical Features: Added book notes and smart companion groups (automatically categorizing read / unread books).
