Recto Audiobooks
Audiobook Player for Plex
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Recto is a native iOS audiobook player built for people who take their libraries seriously.
Connect to your Plex Media Server and experience your audiobook collection the way it deserves — with a polished, Apple Music-inspired interface designed from the ground up for listening.
Your library. Your way.
Recto pulls your audiobooks directly from Plex, giving you complete control over your collection without subscriptions, DRM, or relying on someone else's catalog. If you own the files, Recto makes them shine.
Built for Listeners
• Elegant, distraction-free player interface
• Series and author grouping with rich metadata
• Background audio with full lock screen controls
• Variable speed playback and sleep timer
• Chapter navigation and cover art
• Progress tracking across your library
Apple-Native. Always.
Recto is built entirely with Swift and SwiftUI — no web views, no compromises. It feels like it belongs on your iPhone because it was designed to.
More Coming
Plex is just the beginning. Additional library sources are on the way for listeners who want even more flexibility.
Recto is free to download and use. No subscription. No catch.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New
- Series tab. Recto now scans your library and groups your audiobooks into their series, so you can see every book in a series in order. Read books are marked with a green check, and you can long-press a series to mark all of its books as read.
- Fix a book's series. If a book lands in the wrong series, long-press it in your Library and choose "Add to Series…" to move it. You can pick a series you already have, search for one, or create a new one. Your corrections stay put when the library is rescanned.
- Missing Books. Open a series and tap "Missing Books" to see which books in it you don't have yet.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash when opening Recto in CarPlay.
- Fixed a bug where a book would restart from the beginning while listening in CarPlay.
