Listening Library
Books
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
All your personally hosted audiobooks in one app, whether they are in Jellyfin, Emby, AudioBookShelf, Plex, Google Drive, or iCloud!
The Listening Library app allows you to play audiobooks no matter where you decide to self-host them! With support for iCloud, Google Drive, Jellyfin, Plex, Audiobookshelf, and just locally on your phone, you just need this one app to get to all of your books. Listening Library has full audio control widgets, a customizable sleep timer, listening stats, the ability to stream or download the audiobook, and more!
To be completely transparent, while local files, iCloud, and Google Drive are all free with the your download, if you want to use any of self-hosted servers (Jellyfin, Plex, and AudioBookShelf) you will be asked to pay a small, one-time fee via an In-App Purchase. However, If we add new sources behind the In-App Purchase, you will automatically get them!

NEW — Listening Library on Apple Watch
Download audiobooks straight to your watch and listen with AirPods — no
iPhone needed. Playback, chapters, speed, and sleep timer all on your
wrist, and your listening position syncs back automatically.
NEW — Siri support
Just say "Play [book title] in Listening Library" or "Resume my
audiobook" — hands-free, even when the app isn't open.
NEW — Pick up where you left off, everywhere
Listening positions from your Audiobookshelf, Plex, or Jellyfin server

is right there when you return.
Also in this update:
• Multi-file audiobooks from Audiobookshelf now play through all tracks
• Cover artwork and app icon on Apple Watch
