## What is Unpaged?

Unpaged is a clean, private audiobook player for iPhone. Bring books you already own, find free LibriVox classics, and keep listening simple—no account, ads, or tracking.

YOUR BOOKS, YOUR LIBRARY
Import MP3, M4B, and AAC files from Files or iCloud Drive. Multi-file audiobooks stay grouped and chapter order follows filenames. Rename books, favorite them, and keep your progress.

FREE CLASSICS FROM LIBRIVOX
Browse more than 20,000 public-domain audiobooks. Stream instantly, download for offline listening, compare alternate recordings, and preview narrators before choosing.

MADE FOR DAILY LISTENING
• Background playback and lock-screen controls
• CarPlay with hands-free library search
• Siri shortcut for your latest book
• Playback speed from 0.5× to 3×
• Sleep timer with gentle fade-out
• 5-band equalizer with useful presets
• Adjustable skip and smart-resume controls
• Reading activity and progress stats
• Bookmarks for moments you want to keep

OPTIONAL SMART HELP
On supported Apple Intelligence devices, Unpaged can give saved moments useful names, quotes, mood tags, and short notes. It can also create a brief recap when you return to a book. Processing stays on your iPhone. These tools are optional; core audiobook playback works on any supported iPhone running iOS 18 or later.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. Your imported audio stays on your device. Optional iCloud Sync can back up library metadata, progress, bookmarks, recaps, and preferences across your iPhones; audio files remain on each device.

FREE TO START
Core playback, bookmarks, CarPlay, equalizer, reading stats, and LibriVox browsing, streaming, and downloading are free. Smart features include a free trial, followed by an optional one-time unlock. iCloud Sync is an optional auto-renewing subscription.

LibriVox recordings are created by volunteers. Credit and thanks to them.

Made for readers who want an audiobook player to feel quiet, capable, and out of the way.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.3 — 2026-07-24

Free Books now feels faster from first search to finished download.

### 1.3.2 — 2026-06-24

This update focuses on smarter AI, smoother free-book discovery, and playback polish.

- Smarter Smart Save and Recaps: on supported devices, Unpaged can transcribe audiobook segments directly on device before falling back to the older Speech Recognition path only when needed.
- More reliable AI output, with faster first analysis, better retries, clearer errors, and quote checks that help keep saved lines faithful to the audiobook text.
- A calmer, more editorial Free Books browse experience with improved spacing, clearer rows, and better visual rhythm.
- LibriVox samples now start after the standard intro, so it is faster to compare narrators and recordings.
- Streaming playback now shows clearer loading feedback while remote audio prepares.
- Onboarding now handles microphone and Speech Recognition permissions in one dedicated step instead of prompting at launch.
- Small player layout and recap-state fixes.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-16

Free Books is now easier to browse, compare, and enjoy, with a refreshed shelf-style design and smarter discovery tools.
- Browse curated collections of classic audiobooks.
- Filter the LibriVox catalog by genre, language, and length.
- Find Other Recordings of the same book, including alternate versions and dramatic readings when available.
- Preview recordings more reliably with improved sample playback.
- Enjoy redesigned generated covers for books without artwork.
Smart Save and recaps are also faster and more reliable on supported devices. On-device transcription can now work without asking for Speech Recognition permission first, with the legacy permission-based path still available as a fallback. Smart moments now handle quotes more carefully, warm up sooner, and show clearer errors when audio is missing or unavailable.
Onboarding has been updated too: microphone and speech access are requested in the permissions scene instead of at launch, so new readers can get started with fewer interruptions.
This update also includes transcription punctuation improvements, friendlier recap errors, and stability fixes throughout the app.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-10

A fresh new chapter for Unpaged.

  • New welcome experience — set your listening preferences and pick your home screen in seconds.
  • Brand-new app icon.
  • Redesigned iCloud Library — a full backup browser that shows every book you've added, neatly sorted into On this iPhone, Streaming, In iCloud, and Removed, so you can always
  see what's safely backed up.
  • Customizable home tab — start on Free Books or your own library, your choice.
  • Faster, friendlier Settings with inline preference pickers.
  • More reliable free audiobook browsing, with clearer offline and "couldn't load" states.
  • Single-track audiobooks now show your custom title everywhere — player, mini-player, lock screen, and CarPlay — so renaming a book sticks across the app.
  • Stability and polish throughout.

  Thanks for listening with Unpaged!

### 1.2.1 — 2026-06-04

Bug fixes and stability improvements, redesigned iCloud feature
