Audioborb is a calm, fast audiobook player for your own Audiobookshelf server. Your server might hold thousands of books. Audioborb's home is just the ones you're listening to: a personal Shelf, saved on your server as a private playlist, so it follows you to the web player and your other devices. YOUR SHELF • Listening and Up Next at a glance, with the book you're in one tap away • Drag to reorder what's next • Your whole shelf as a grid or a list, with series gathered into stacks and progress on every cover • Filter by in progress, not started, finished or downloaded PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF • Your last book is loaded and ready the moment the app opens, even before it reaches your server • Pausing for a while? Audioborb replays a few seconds when you come back, so you don't lose the thread • Listened on another device? Audioborb asks before jumping to the newer position MADE FOR LISTENING • Chapter or whole-book scrubbing, with time left at your current speed • Playback speed per book, or as your default • Sleep timer with set durations or end of chapter, a gentle fade-out, and shake to extend • Bookmarks with notes, synced to your server • Lock screen, Control Center and headphone controls, with chapter time when you want it • Swipe the mini player up to open the player, or down to tuck it away • CarPlay: Listening, Up Next and your downloads on the car's screen, with your own skip intervals FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK • Browse picks from your library: next in your series, recently added, quick listens, series worth starting and more • Genres, and every title with filters and sorting • Search books, series, authors and narrators WORKS OFFLINE • Download books for flights and commutes • Progress, bookmarks and shelf changes made offline wait in a queue and sync when you're back • Add a home-network address alongside your public one, and Audioborb uses whichever answers LISTENING STATS • Today, this week and your streak, a 16-week heatmap, and a year in review you can share FOR SERVER OWNERS • Fix a book's details, series, cover and chapters right from its page • See who's listening, manage accounts and back up your server from Settings These tools appear for accounts that are allowed to edit the library or run the server. ON IPHONE AND IPAD • On iPad, a side bar for your shelf, browse and stats, and the player beside your book in landscape • Light and dark themes, both included PRIVACY Audioborb has no ads, analytics or accounts of its own, and sends nothing to the developer.
