SongbookXP

Songbook XP Support

A viewer for .songbook archives with offline playback. This page covers common questions and how to get in touch.

Getting started

How do I open a songbook?

Tap any .songbook file on your phone — from email, your file manager, a download or another app — and choose Songbook XP from the “Open with” prompt. The app imports the book into local storage and opens it.

Where do I get .songbook files?

The format is open and documented. You can:

• Build your own — see the file format documentation in the repository README.
• Receive one from someone via email, AirDrop, Drive or any sharing tool.
• Use a file produced by the upstream Swift app — both apps share the same archive format.

Why doesn’t Songbook XP request internet permission on Android?

Songbook XP runs fully offline. The Android release build explicitly omits the INTERNET permission; you can verify this in your system settings.

How do I change the font?

Tap the Aa button at the top of any page. Two accessibility-optimized typefaces are available: APHont and Atkinson Hyperlegible.

What happens to my data if I uninstall?

Everything stored locally — imported books, preferences, open-page state — is removed when you uninstall the app. No cloud backup, no server-side copy.
