ShelfDrop is an offline-first audiobook player for people who keep their own DRM-free audiobook files.

ShelfDrop copies your books into local app storage so you can listen without running a media server, cloud account, or manual media syncing.

Optional Sources with ShelfDrop Pro: - Connect to your own Audiobookshelf or WebDAV server. - Browse and stream supported DRM-free audiobooks from your server. - Download books to Library for offline listening. - Continue listening with Audiobookshelf progress sync. Check server compatibility for free before unlocking Sources. Try Sources free for seven days, with no automatic charge or subscription, or buy permanent Pro with a one-time purchase.
