Installation and setup

Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-24

  1. Use the official Flathub package linked by Cozy's README on a supported Linux desktop. Distinguish it from potentially older distribution packages.
  2. Launch Cozy and import a small folder containing your own DRM-free audiobook files.
  3. Play a chapter, test resume and set a sleep timer. If the media is on an external drive, check the application's access to that particular folder.
  4. Keep the original files and a separate backup. Diagnose a Flatpak folder-access problem before resetting application data, because a reset can erase saved progress.

Provider-source review only; no candidate code, installer or APK was executed.
