Apple Intelligence recaps
Catch up on previous chapters when a matching EPUB is paired with the audiobook.
Free iPhone audiobook player
Bring your own audiobooks from Files, cloud storage, WiFi, WebDAV, or LibriVox. Listen offline, keep your place, use CarPlay, and catch up with Apple Intelligence chapter recaps.
Import anywhere
Audiobook Player is built for listeners who already own their books. Add a folder, a ZIP archive, individual audio files, or cloud-hosted audiobooks, then keep listening without turning your library into a music playlist.
Built for long listening
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.
