## What is Awdio?

Awdio is a premium audiobook player for Plex Media Server and Audiobookshelf. Built for self-hosters who want a beautiful, reliable listening experience from their own media library.

NEVER MISS A WORD
Awdio keeps 5 minutes of audio buffered ahead at all times, so playback never stutters — even on slow home networks, cellular connections, or VPNs.

WORKS WITH YOUR SERVERS
- Plex Media Server — full library browse, collections, and series
- Audiobookshelf — native support with progress sync back to your server
- Works behind nginx, Cloudflare, and reverse proxies with custom HTTP header support

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
- Browse your entire audiobook collection with search, sort, and filters
- Grid or list view — your preference
- Collections and series support
- Offline downloads for listening without a connection
- Bookmarks — drop a pin at any moment and jump back anytime

LISTENING DONE RIGHT
- Playback speed control (0.5× to 3×) with per-book memory
- Smart rewind — automatically rewinds based on how long you were away
- Sleep timer — time-based or end of chapter
- Per-book settings — different speed preferences for different books
- Chapter navigation

ALWAYS IN SYNC
- iCloud sync keeps your progress consistent across all your Apple devices
- Audiobookshelf users get cross-platform progress sync via their own server

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED
- Full-screen now-playing with artwork, scrubber, and chapter list
- Home screen widgets — see what you're listening to at a glance
- Lock screen and Control Center integration
