AudioHaven is an audiobook and podcast app that skips the language, violence, and explicit scenes you choose, as you listen. Same book, same narrator, same story. HOW IT WORKS Every audiobook is reviewed by a real person. A human reviewer checks each filter against the actual audio and sets its category, severity, and exact start and end times before it reaches your library. When you press play, AudioHaven skips the moments you have chosen to filter. Nothing is edited or re-recorded. CHOOSE WHAT TO SKIP • 9 categories: profanity, slurs, hate speech, blasphemy, violence, sexual content, romance, crude humor, and substance use • Mild, moderate, and severe levels, so you skip only what matters to you • Word-level control for language: skip specific words and keep others • Set your defaults once, then adjust them for any single book or podcast WHAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO • 320+ modern audiobooks with filters ready, plus public domain classics from LibriVox • Podcasts: subscribe, get new-episode alerts, and listen filtered • Link your Libro.fm, AudiobooksNow, or Downpour account to bring in books you already bought • Import any DRM-free audiobook you own (M4B or MP3); when it matches a title in our filter catalog, your filters apply • Ask for any book or podcast to be filtered, and flag a moment we missed THE LIBRARIAN Ask for your next book or podcast.
