ShelfPod is a highly customizable Audiobookshelf client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, packed with thoughtful fixes for the small everyday annoyances that add up.
It supports both audiobooks and podcasts, but it’s especially good with podcasts. Few Audiobookshelf clients treat podcasts as first-class citizens the way ShelfPod does.
The interface feels at home on Apple platforms—polished, understated, and out of the way, so you can focus on listening to your Audiobookshelf library.
ShelfPod is a complete Audiobookshelf client. Stream or download, pick up where you left off, manage your queue, turn on automatic downloads, and listen offline. Live sync keeps your progress up to date across all your devices.
