Thyle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Thyle is an audiobook player built for people who care about how their library looks and feels β not just how it sounds. Most audiobook apps treat your collection like a utility. Thyle treats it like a library worth living in. Six artist-inspired themes β Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Matisse, CΓ©zanne, and Degas β bring a gallery-quality aesthetic to every screen, with warm palettes, custom typography, and details that reward a closer look. Your Library, Your Way Import audiobooks directly from your files β MP3, M4A, FLAC, Opus, and more. Thyle reads embedded metadata, pulls chapter markers, and organizes everything into a clean, browsable collection. Filter by star rating or genre, sort by title or date added, and switch between grid and list views to find exactly what you're looking for. Listening Done Right Thyle hands control back to you. Pick your chapter, set a sleep timer, and let spatial audio fill the room. Your progress is saved automatically so you can pick up exactly where you left off β across chapters, across sessions. Rate, Tag, and Personalize Give books a star rating after you've listened. Add your own genre tags alongside whatever's embedded in the file. The more you add, the smarter your filters become. Ask the Book Have a question about something you heard? Ask the Book uses on-device transcription and AI to let you search your audiobooks by meaning, not just memory. Find that passage, revisit that idea, or settle that nagging half-remembered detail β without scrubbing through hours of audio. Crafted for Readers Thyle was designed by a reader, for readers. That means no subscription wall, no algorithm pushing titles you didn't ask for, and no clutter between you and the book. Just your library, exactly as you left it. β Import MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG, Opus, and folder-based audiobooks β Six artist-inspired color themes with matching typography β Five display fonts, each hand-selected for readability β Star ratings and genre tags with smart filtering β Chapter-accurate progress tracking β Sleep timer and spatial audio support β Ask the Book: AI-powered search across your transcribed audiobooks β Swipe gestures for natural navigation β No subscription required
