PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your library and listening sync only with the Audiobookshelf server you choose. No accounts, no analytics, no ads.
Requires an Audiobookshelf server (audiobookshelf.org). Prosody is an independent client and is not affiliated with the Audiobookshelf project.
Prosody Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly through your Apple Account; it renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

What's New in Prosody Player
1.2.2
October 13, 2026
Listening in CarPlay is now part of Prosody Plus. • Without Prosody Plus, a book playing on your iPhone pauses when CarPlay connects and stays paused while CarPlay is connected. The car screen and your iPhone say why. • With Prosody Plus, CarPlay works as before. • Away from the car nothing changes: Siri, the widget and the lock screen play without a subscription.
