Try it right now with no server: tap "Explore a Demo" and the entire app works with sample data.
LISTEN & READ
- A clean home that opens on your books, not on menus
- Search every library and tap to play or read
- Continue Listening and Continue Reading pick up exactly where you left off
- Browse any library as a wall of covers
- Built-in player: play, skip, chapters, speed, bookmarks, lock screen, background audio, progress synced to your server
- Built-in reader for EPUB, PDF, and comics (CBZ): themes, fonts, size and spacing, search, bookmarks, and a Dyslexia mode with wider spacing and ragged edges for easier reading
- Want downloads, CarPlay, Apple Watch, or a sleep timer? A quiet link hands the book to Lull, our full audiobook player
MANAGE YOUR SERVER
- Edit metadata: title, author, narrator, series, genres, tags, description
- Quick match and fix missing covers, one book or the whole library
- Clean Up: rename or delete a genre, tag, or narrator across every book at once, and split messy imported labels like "Paranormal, Contemporary, Urban" into separate genres in one tap
- Series, collections, and playlists
- Move a book between libraries, something even the web app cannot do
- Upload audiobooks and ebooks from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or anywhere the Files app reaches
- Podcasts: add shows by search or feed, import OPML, download old episodes, clean up the back catalog
- Users: create, edit, set passwords, roles, permissions, and per library access
- Backups: create, download, restore, and schedule
- Send an ebook straight to your Kindle
- Listening dashboard: who is listening now, full session history, daily hours, top listeners, and a Year in Review
- Create and configure libraries, run scans, open RSS feeds, and set up notifications
SAFE BY DESIGN
- Destructive actions are guarded: file deletion is off by default and asks you to type to confirm
- Moving a book copies it first and removes the original only after the copy succeeds
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Talks only to your own server with your own account
- No analytics, no tracking, no data collected
ABS Admin is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with the Audiobookshelf project. It needs your own Audiobookshelf server, or use the demo to look around.
