- The page says visit history stays on the phone; library details come from Street Library Australia, which it says it is not affiliated with.
Field notes
The page says library entries are drawn from Street Library Australia and may include a keeper’s note and directions to the door. Its described “doors” display changes with visit recency, while a visit record is stored on the reader’s phone. The project says it is not affiliated with the source directory; the Android release is still listed as coming soon.
