Literavox is a private audiobook player for the files you already own. It's not a store and not a streaming service — you bring the MP3 files, and Literavox plays them the way audiobooks deserve: resume, variable speed, chapter navigation, lock-screen controls, and background audio. YOUR FOLDER IS YOUR LIBRARY Point Literavox at a folder of audiobooks (each book is one subfolder of MP3 files) and it indexes everything for you. There's no hidden database — you stay in full control of your files in the Files app or Finder. ON-DEVICE AND iCLOUD DRIVE Keep your library locally or in an iCloud Drive folder and use it across all your devices at once. Share that iCloud folder with family and friends — no extra sync required. PRIVACY FIRST No accounts. No sign-in. No tracking. Playback works fully offline. The network is only used optionally — to fetch cover art or free public-domain titles. BUILT FOR LONG LISTENS • Resume exactly where you left off • Skip forward and back 30s • Variable speed: 0.8×–2.0× • Chapter list with seamless transitions • Whole-book progress bar with the current chapter highlighted • In-track bookmarks • Favourite and Finished flags + filters • Lock screen, headphone, and CarPlay controls • Background and locked-screen playback FREE, LEGAL LIBRARIES Add built-in free sources and download titles straight into your library: • LibriVox — public-domain audiobooks read by volunteers • Project Gutenberg — synthetic narration • Wolne Lektury — Polish classics read by actors (CC BY-SA) Downloaded titles become ordinary audiobooks on your device — fully offline, with proper attribution and license info. WHY LITERAVOX Because your audiobooks are your files. No store lock-in, no DRM, no subscription required to listen. Just a clean, fast player that respects you and your collection. Fully localized in English and Polish.
