Emberlo

Your audiobooks and your music deserve the same care. Emberlo plays both, from the servers you already run. Books that remember where you dozed off and can remind you what happened. Music you can see is bit-perfect. Pay once. No subscription, no account. AUDIOBOOKS THAT KEEP YOUR PLACE Fell asleep listening? Sleep Rewind jumps back to where you dozed off. Been away for a week? Story so far gives you a short recap, made only from what you've heard. Can't remember a character? Ask Who's this?, answered only from what you've heard. Heard a line you love? Quotes keeps the words. (Premium) And in every copy of Emberlo: - Chapters, including M4B, and multi-file books played as one - Speed per book, right on the Lock Screen and in CarPlay - A sleep timer that can stop at the end of a chapter - Bookmarks with notes - A list view with full titles, so "Book 2" is easy to find - Author pages that pick up your progress - Your place saved back to your server, and to your other devices through iCloud - Downloads for the plane, the gym and the car MUSIC YOU CAN SEE IS BIT-PERFECT Signal Path shows the whole journey under every track: file, server, processing on your device, and output. Green when untouched, amber when changed but still lossless, red when quality is lost. A one-line verdict tells the truth, from Bit-perfect to Lossy. Tap it to learn why and what to try: "Bluetooth can't carry lossless audio. For the full 24/96, use a USB DAC or a wired adapter." When Emberlo can't tell, it says unknown, never green. With a USB DAC, it matches the sample rate to every file and checks that the switch really happened. - FLAC, ALAC, AAC, MP3, WAV and AIFF, up to your output's highest rate - Gapless playback on Wi-Fi and downloads - Full-bleed album art, with missing covers found online (you can turn this off) - ReplayGain, shown honestly on the strip - Library Radio, free: an endless mix from any song, album or artist, built from your own library ONE LIBRARY, ALL YOUR SERVERS - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and Audiobookshelf - Files on your device, iCloud Drive and USB drives - Plex Home profiles, and remote access when you're away - Direct play first. If a server converts, the strip says so - Two servers free EVERY SCREEN YOU LISTEN ON - iPhone, including iPhone Duo - iPad, with a layout made for the big screen - CarPlay: Continue, Books, Albums and Downloads, with chapters and speed in Now Playing - A Continue widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Continue shelf that says why it picked what it picked - AirPlay from Now Playing - Light or dark, and a choice of app icon EMBERLO PREMIUM: ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOR GOOD No subscription, and Family Sharing is included. Premium adds: - For books: Sleep Rewind, Story so far, Who's this? and Quotes - For music: Library Radio mixes that learn from your likes and skips, and from how your songs sound - Best copy wins: the same album or book on two servers shows once and plays the best copy - Keep copies in step: pausing or stopping saves your place to the book's other copies - Smart download rules: keep your current book and favourites on your device, within a size you choose - Unlimited servers Sleep Rewind reads sleep data from Health: read only, off until you turn it on. Story so far, Who's this? and Quotes need an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, and work with books in English. They run entirely on your device with Apple's on-device models. Nothing is sent anywhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no tracking, and no Emberlo server. Your sign-ins stay in your device's Keychain. The one thing Emberlo sends to a third party: if "Find missing artwork online" is on, the album and artist name of an album with no cover, to MusicBrainz and the Cover Art Archive.
