What's New in Volume.

1.5

October 13, 2026

This one is mostly about the parts you touch every day: the timeline, the scrubber, and getting back to where you were. TIMELINE, REDESIGNED Your listening history is clearer and easier to read, with sessions grouped sensibly and dates that don't repeat themselves down the page. UNDO LAST SKIP, PROPERLY Skips are now logged as you make them and the undo banner shows up when you need it — so clipping the next-chapter button in your pocket really is one tap away from being fixed. A STEADIER SCRUBBER Dragging through a chapter no longer snaps back when you let go, and short chapters scrub smoothly instead of jumping. Pull down on a book's detail page to refresh it. MULTI-FILE BOOKS, MADE WHOLE Audiobooks split across several files on Jellyfin are stitched back into a single book with chapters in the right places, matching how Android has handled them. AUDIOBOOKSHELF Listening sessions are now recorded back to your ABS server, so your stats and progress stay in step with every other client you use. TIDIER LIBRARIES Titles sort by their real name, ignoring a leading "The" or "A", and author sections sort the same way. Your Continue shelf now also picks up books your server already knows you're partway through. EASIER SERVER SETUP Type a bare hostname and Volume tries https first, then falls back to http — handy for LAN-only servers. Plus faster reconnection when your network changes, and a pile of smaller fixes. As always, feedback goes to feedback.hyperfixation.dev — it genuinely shapes what I build next.

Solid

Works well. Clean UI. Would like to see ABS api key auth, would fix some playback hiccups.

Works

It works better than most. All it really needs is Quick Connect for Jellyfin.
