Turn the audiobooks you own into a gorgeous native Mac library — chapters, speed control, sleep timer, auto-matched covers, and streaming to your other devices.
Lorecaster is a beautiful, native audiobook library and player for your Mac — the "Music app" for the audiobooks you already own.
Point it at your folders and Lorecaster organizes everything into a gorgeous, searchable library with covers, chapters, series, and authors. No web browser, no terminal, no accounts. Install one app, add your books, and press play.
BUILT FOR LISTENING
• Full-featured player with chapter navigation, a chapter scrubber, and skip forward/back
• Fine-grained playback speed in 0.1× steps, plus a sleep timer (set minutes or end-of-chapter)
• Always resumes exactly where you left off, with smart rewind after a pause
• Media keys, Control Center, and a menu-bar mini-player — audio keeps playing while you work
• Pop the player out into its own window
A LIBRARY THAT LOOKS GREAT
• Retina-crisp cover art in a fast grid that stays smooth across thousands of books
• Browse by Series or Author; sort by title, duration, or Recently Added; search everything
• Auto-scan watches your folders and adds new books for you
RICH METADATA, YOUR WAY
• One-click online matching fills in covers, narrator, series, publisher, description, and more
• Match precisely by ASIN, or auto-match your whole library at once
• Edit any detail by hand, adjust chapters, and keep portable metadata alongside your files
LISTEN ANYWHERE ON YOUR NETWORK
• A built-in server lets your other devices browse and stream your library over your local network
• Your position syncs back and forth, so you can switch devices mid-chapter
• Time-accurate seeking streams straight to the right spot — even in long variable-bitrate MP3s
• Multiple users, each with their own login and progress
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Everything stays on your Mac and your network — no accounts, no tracking, no data collected
• You add your own audiobook files from folders you choose
Lorecaster is the whole experience in a single, self-contained app.

What's new in 1.0.2
• First-run setup now starts the library server while you're still on the Mac. macOS asks for local network access and incoming connections there, so the first connection from your phone doesn't time out because those prompts were missed.
• The library your other devices receive now includes genres. Grouping or filtering by genre on iPhone no longer files tagged books under Uncategorized.
