Yarnplayer
Audiobooks & Podcasts
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Audiobooks and podcasts in one library, with transcript search, ad analysis and a shared play queue.
Audiobooks and podcasts in one library. Search what was said and jump straight to it. Skip the ads.
Bring your own audiobook files, connect a Plex or Audiobookshelf library you already have access to, or follow podcasts from their publishers' RSS feeds. Yarnplayer does not provide an audiobook store or audiobook streaming catalogue.
Queue a podcast episode after an audiobook chapter and Yarnplayer moves straight from one to the other.
Ad analysis finds sponsor reads, allowing you to skip them automatically.
Search transcripts to find bits you've heard. Yarnplayer searches transcripts, bookmarks, chapter titles and show notes together, then takes playback to the moment the words were spoken. Transcripts stay readable and searchable after a download is removed.
Heard a bit you need to share? Turn it into a short video or shareable card. Preview the spot, pick a design, and send it. Share transcript passages too.
Silence Trim shortens. Clear Speech makes voices easier to follow. Volume Levelling evens out recordings that jump between loud and quiet. Set a sleep timer for the end of a chapter, episode or book.
Choose your icon, colours and font. Rearrange the home screen and player tabs, set playback speeds and skip amounts, and keep different settings for books and podcasts. See listening stats, streaks and habits, and milestones.
Automatically queue episodes from shows you love. Release Forecast shows the next fortnight of expected episodes based on each show's publishing rhythm.
Listen on iPhone and iPad, in CarPlay or with Apple Watch.
Ad analysis uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute. It requires iOS 27 or later, an Apple Intelligence-compatible device and service availability.
Made in Australia. Optional tips support development.
