LP Audiobook is a local-first player for the audiobooks you already own. Drop in your m4b, mp3, m4a, FLAC, or other files and listen — no account, no subscription, nothing leaves your device.
REAL CHAPTER SUPPORT
• Reads embedded chapters from m4b files, including books split into multiple parts
• Auto-groups files like "Book Name – Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3" into one continuous timeline
• Jump between chapters from the player or the Now Playing card
BUILT FOR LONG-FORM LISTENING
• Smart Speed quietly trims pauses longer than a second, without changing the narrator's pacing
• Per-book speed from 0.5x to 3x
• EQ presets for voice clarity, bass reduction, treble lift, and warmth
• Per-book volume boost up to +12 dB so quiet narrators come up to a comfortable level
• Auto-balance scans new imports and pre-fills the right boost
• Smart resume rewinds 5 seconds after a long pause so you don't lose the thread
• Sleep timer with end-of-chapter mode and a gentle fade
BOOKMARKS AND NOTES
• Tap to drop a bookmark at any moment, with an optional note
• Browse the list and jump back any time
EVERY DEVICE, IN SYNC
• iCloud syncs position, speed, EQ, volume, and bookmarks
• The books themselves stay on each device, never uploaded
• Apple Watch app for play, pause, and skip while your phone is away
• CarPlay — your library on the dashboard with full transport and chapter skip
• Route pill next to Chapters / Bookmarks shows where audio is going right now; a one-tap shortcut switches to CarPlay when wireless reconnects but iOS keeps audio on Bluetooth
GET BOOKS IN
• Drop files into the app via Finder file sharing on the Mac
• Add Files… or Add Folder… from the picker
• Edit title, author, narrator, and cover after import — pick a new cover from Photos, Files, or paste it from the clipboard
• On Mac? The companion LP Audiobook Builder turns messy MP3 folders or chapter-less .m4b files into clean audiobooks ready for this app
LISTENING STATS
• Today, last 7 / 30 days, and all-time totals
• 30-day daily chart and most-listened books
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs
• Your audiobooks stay on your devices; iCloud sync covers metadata only
For people who own their audiobooks — ripped from CD, downloaded from a DRM-free retailer, or shared in the family. If your library is already on your computer and you'd rather not subscribe to a streaming service to hear it on your phone, this is the app.
