Bring your own audiobooks and turn them into a beautiful, private listening experience. Audiobook Player is a native iOS 26 player for the books you already own — import your files and enjoy them with gorgeous design, deep listening stats, and thoughtful controls that help you never lose your place. No accounts. No store. No cloud.
Please note: Audiobook Player does not include or sell any audiobooks. It's a player for audio files you already own (MP3, M4A, and M4B).
Designed for iOS 26
A native interface built on Apple's latest design, with cover-tinted Now Playing surfaces and a floating mini player that follows you across the app. Nothing is faked — every surface uses Apple's own materials, and it looks right in both light and dark.

Your history, always actionable
A day-by-day feed of everything you've listened to, where every row is a shortcut back into the audio. Continue where a session ended, start a book over, play from a bookmark, or undo a skip — all in a single tap.
Search every word
As a bonus, you can transcribe your books on-device and search your whole library by what's actually said. Tap any result to jump straight to that moment.
Private by design
Your library never leaves your device. No accounts, no tracking, no servers — playback, statistics, and transcription all happen on-device. The optional Wi-Fi transfer works only on your local network and is protected by a one-time passcode.
Free to start
Play up to 3 books free, forever, with basic playback.
Go Premium
Unlock your full library and every Premium feature — statistics, bookmarks, sleep timer, auto-rewind, volume boost, speed control, and transcription — with a 14-day free trial. Continue with a monthly or yearly subscription, or pay once with Lifetime.
