Built for long listening

Pick up exactly where you stopped

Long books need better behavior than a generic audio player. The app saves position automatically, tracks chapter progress, restores the last book after relaunch, and rewinds intelligently when you return.

  • Smart Rewind adjusts to how long you were away
  • Chapter-by-chapter progress for M4B and multi-file MP3 books
  • Sleep timer, custom skip intervals, bookmarks, and playback speed
  • iCloud progress sync across your Apple devices
