Audely Pro

Understand what Audely Pro adds, start or restore a subscription, manage billing, and know what happens when your Audely Pro subscription ends.

A complete free library with optional extras

Audely’s free tier is a complete local-file audiobook and podcast player with no limit on audiobooks, parts, podcasts, or episodes. Audely Pro adds on-device podcast transcription, optional iCloud services, and appearance choices.

What is included for free

  • Add and scan local or iCloud Drive folders.
  • Browse, search, filter, and edit an unrestricted local library.
  • Play audio with speed controls, skip intervals, a sleep timer, embedded chapters, and a queue.
  • Use favourites, played state, notes, per-audiobook and per-podcast settings, and a customisable Home.
  • Read short podcast transcript previews when transcript data already exists.
  • Cancel transcription and remove transcripts or the local transcription model.

What Audely Pro adds

  • Read full podcast transcripts, search podcast transcript text, download the model, and generate podcast transcripts on the device. Audiobook parts remain excluded.
  • Sync supported library information across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud account.
  • Create, schedule, and restore recent cloud backups stored in iCloud.
  • Choose from all Audely themes and hide the icon beside Home.

Source audio is never uploaded for transcription, sync, or cloud backups.

Start or restore Audely Pro

iPhone and iPad

Open Settings › Audely Pro. Choose a subscription option or use Restore purchases if you previously subscribed with the current Apple Account.

Mac

Open Audely › Audely Pro…. Choose a subscription option or use Restore purchases if you previously subscribed with the current Apple Account.

The app shows the current App Store price, billing period, and any trial available to the signed-in Apple Account before purchase. One subscription covers supported Audely apps using that Apple Account. Family Sharing is not included.

Manage or cancel a subscription

Open Audely Pro and choose Manage subscription to continue in the App Store. Cancelling stops renewal but does not end access immediately. Pro remains available until the subscription or trial reaches the date shown by the App Store.

When your Audely Pro subscription ends

  • Your audiobooks, parts, podcasts, episodes, edited details, progress, favourites, notes, transcripts, linked source folders, synced information, backups, and source audio are not deleted.
  • Full transcript reading and transcript-text search pause. Short episode-page previews remain visible.
  • New transcript generation and model downloads pause. You can still cancel queued or active work and remove transcripts or model data.
  • Ordinary sync and new backup creation stop. Existing backups remain listed and can still be deleted, while starting a restore continues to require Audely Pro. If a restore has already replaced the library, Audely may finish its pending iCloud repair, as explained in Cloud backups and restore.
  • Theme choices reset to the Magnolia defaults after the App Store confirms that your Audely Pro subscription has ended. Starting Audely Pro again does not restore the previous choices.
  • The icon beside Home resets to visible. Starting Audely Pro again does not restore the former hidden setting.

Subscribe again or use Restore purchases to resume the Audely Pro features available to the current Apple Account.
