LocalAudioBooksPlayer vs StoryCodex

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.

You're on chapter 600. A name appears you half-remember. The wiki would spoil everything. StoryCodex is a smart novel reader that builds a live encyclopedia and visual Story Map of your story as you read. It tracks your progress and only remembers the events you have already reached. Stop choosing between losing track of the plot and getting spoiled by fandom wikis. LISTEN OR READ ANYWHERE Experience a polished core reading environment. Listen to your chapters aloud with high-fidelity neural voices including Supertonic, Kokoro, and Piper. Background playback, lock screen controls, and customizable reading views. No internet connection required. TAP ANY NAME, SEE WHO THEY ARE Tap a character name while reading to instantly view their profile: role, traits, power tier, and key relationships. Pulled strictly from chapters you have already read. Zero spoilers. No wiki rabbit holes. EXPLORE THE STORY MAP See characters, factions, places, and relationships as an interactive visual map. Follow alliances, rivalries, mentors, clans, sects, and shifting connections without exposing future events. The Story Map grows with your reading progress, so it stays useful and spoiler-free. YOUR STORY CODEX As you read, the local AI silently builds and updates your universe. Character profiles track names, aliases, motivations, and power progression. World building maps places, factions, cultivation systems, and items. Arc summaries break the full story into arcs, always spoiler-free. Chapter summaries log every chapter so nothing slips through. The codex carries across volumes, so your encyclopedia grows with the series.
