# Your library

The library is the page that lists every reading you have
started. Click any reading to open it. The reader picks up at
the word you were on.

## Local-only and saved readings

Readings have one of two homes. Some live in your browser only —
they are listed under a small **local only** label. Others live
in your account and follow you across devices.

Local-only readings disappear if you clear your browser data.
Saved readings stay until you delete them.

## Archive vs delete

Two ways to clear a reading off the active list:

- **Archive** keeps the reading. It is removed from the main
  list and lives under an archive section, ready to be restored.
- **Delete** removes the reading and its audio. The space is
  recovered at the next cleanup pass.

The library uses archive when you are not sure; it uses delete
only when you are.

## Search and filter

The library has a search box and a small set of filters: status
(in progress, finished, never started), date last opened, and
the source the reading came from. The search matches both titles
and the body of the reading.

## Offline access

A reading you have already heard is available offline. The audio
is cached on the device that played it. The library page shows
which readings have audio cached locally.

Generation always needs a connection, because that is when the
audio is being made. Once the audio exists, the reading can play
without one.
