Bring every part of your reading life together with Enve Book Player, a private, flexible home for audiobooks, ebooks, comics, and podcasts. Use the files you already own, connect the self-hosted services you already run, and move naturally between listening and reading. Enve does not sell books or lock features behind a subscription. It is built around your library. LISTEN YOUR WAY Stream or download audiobooks and podcast episodes for offline listening. Navigate chapters, add bookmarks, adjust playback speed, customize skip intervals, and fall asleep with a sleep timer that gently fades the audio. A 10-band equalizer lets you shape narration for your headphones, speakers, or car. AirPlay, background audio, lock-screen controls, CarPlay, widgets, and the Apple Watch companion keep playback close at hand. Optional sleep insights can use read-only Apple Health sleep data to identify when you may have fallen asleep and offer to rewind your audiobook. Health information is processed on your device and is never sent to Enve. READ YOUR WAY Open EPUB and PDF books in a focused reader with adjustable fonts, type size, line spacing, margins, justification, themes, and page-turn behavior. Per-book settings remember how you like each title to look. Listen with text to speech, highlight passages, write notes, build vocabulary lists, and export your work to Markdown, Obsidian, or Anki-compatible formats. When a compatible ebook and audiobook can be paired, Enve can create a read-along experience that follows the narration through the text. Storyteller integration and on-device StoryAlign provide deeper synchronized reading on supported devices.
