The name Still is derived from "大音希声" (dà yīn xī shēng) in the Tao Te Ching—a phrase that means "the greatest sound is silent." We believe that in an age of information overload, listening should be an inward art. It's not about noise that fills a void, but a medium that creates inner resonance. Based on this philosophy, we built Still: a pure player for Audiobookshelf users. Through its minimalist design and fluid experience, it shields you from distractions, guarding a quiet, focused space for listening. Here, every session becomes a deep resonance with yourself and with wisdom. Core Features of Still: • Connect to Your Private Library: Securely connect to your Audiobookshelf server. Your data and privacy remain entirely in your control. • A Pure Listening Experience: Minimalist design that puts listening first. Core features are always within reach. • Offline Downloads for Listening Anywhere: Download your favorite titles with a single tap. Enjoy uninterrupted listening on your commute or during a flight, regardless of network conditions. • Seamless Cross-Device Sync: Your listening progress is automatically synced between your iPhone and iPad, allowing you to pick up right where you left off. • More Features: Supports CarPlay, Home Screen widgets, OIDC SSO and custom headers. If you are also seeking depth and focus in the digital world, and yearn for a “spiritual sanctuary” to house your treasured audio content, then welcome to the world of Still. --- Please Note: Still is a client for Audiobookshelf and requires a running, self-hosted server instance to function. This app does not provide any audio content itself; it connects to your personal library service.

Amazing app (keep it minimal)

I have purchased the app to support the developer. I really loved the app, however I saw the github page with silly requests made by people, which you plan to implement. Some of them might not have purchased the app nor would be regular users, so please dont ruin the paying users experience to appease those users. Please only implement really necessary features and reject others, we dont want to bloat this beautiful app and ruin the amazing experience it currently deliversPlease keep it minimal and keep it snappy & responsive

Thanks for the support! Minimalism is exactly why I built Still. Don't worry about the GitHub requests—those are just ideas, not a roadmap. I’m very picky about what gets added because keeping the app fast and focused is my top priority.

A beautiful design that keeps your audiobooks front and center. A refreshing take in the age of “our newest feature you didn’t ask for now takes over everything!”

I love every design decision that went into this app. It just keeps getting better. An update just came out that collapses series in the collection view?! Amazing.

It’s fast, looks great, and is getting good updates. It’s well worth the change to support the developer.
