PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Prosody talks only to 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.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-05

Siri: say "Hey Siri, play Dracula in Prosody" (or any title in your library), or "Hey Siri, play my audiobook in Prosody" to pick up where you left off, on your iPhone or in CarPlay.

CarPlay, with Prosody Plus:
• Tabs for Continue listening, Library and Downloaded, with progress bars on every book
• Browse your whole library by series, author or title
• Bookmark and speed buttons in Now Playing
• A clear message in the car when a book can't start or the connection drops

Smarter resume:
• After a phone call, the book picks up a few seconds before where the call began
• A book you moved ahead on another device continues from there in the car
• Your listening time keeps reaching your server after it restarts
