Settings and appearance
Choose playback and list defaults, manage local library data, select themes, and find Audely’s sync and backup settings.
Audely keeps everyday preferences together in Settings. Changes apply on the current device unless the setting is included in sync.
Open Settings
iPhone and iPad
Open Settings inside Audely, then choose the page you want.
Mac
Open Audely › Settings, then select a page in the Settings window.
General
The General page controls playback and episode-list defaults:
- Continuous playback decides whether Audely continues after the current episode ends.
- Default speed sets the starting playback speed for shows that do not have their own speed.
- Skip forward and Skip back set the transport-button intervals.
- Hide played episodes by default controls the initial visibility of completed episodes.
- Default sort and Default filter set the starting order and played-state filter for episode lists.
A show can override its episode order, played-episode visibility, and playback speed from Show settings.
Library
The Library page contains source folders, source scan actions, and local library data. Source folders are device-specific, so changes here do not grant another device access to the same audio.
For source status, scans, restoring folder access, and safe removal, see Add audio and folders.
Transcripts
The Transcripts page manages the on-device transcription model, transcript search, and transcript data. Downloading the model, generating transcripts, and searching transcript text require Audely Pro. Cancelling generation and removing transcripts or the downloaded model remain available without Pro.
See Generate and search transcripts for the complete workflow.
Appearance
Audely Pro includes all shipping themes. In Appearance, choose one theme for the sun slot and one for the moon slot. Audely uses the corresponding choice when the device moves between light and dark mode. Either slot can use a light-looking or dark-looking theme.
When your Pro subscription ends, both assignments reset to the Magnolia defaults. Starting Pro again does not restore the former selections.
Sync and backup
The Sync and Backup pages manage the two optional iCloud features included with Audely Pro. Sync keeps current library information moving between devices. Cloud backups preserve recent recovery points. Neither feature uploads source audio.
Read Sync across devices and Cloud backups and restore before deleting synced data or replacing a library from a backup.
Help, account, and legal information
