Keep both libraries clear
Audiobooks have books and parts. Podcasts have shows and episodes. Each gets its own Home shelves, favourites, and browsing structure.
Your audiobooks and podcasts on iPhone and iPad
Bring long-form audio from Files into a library made for listening. Audely keeps audiobooks, podcasts, progress, chapters, and everyday controls close without requiring a separate account.
Choose the folders available on each device
Add a local folder or one in iCloud Drive with the system file picker. Audely receives access only to the folder you select, scans supported audio in place, and never uploads the source file.
Take listening offline
When the audio is downloaded to the device, playback does not depend on a streaming catalogue, feed service, or Audely server.
Continue from the right place
Progress, speed, chapters, queue, sleep timer, Lock Screen controls, AirPlay, and Bluetooth support long-form listening throughout the day.
The same library, adapted to each screen
iPhone keeps Audely focused and portrait-only, with Home, Library, Search, a mini-player, and a full Now Playing screen. iPad uses the same model with layouts adapted to its larger display and support for every device orientation.
Mobile editing is deliberately centred on one item at a time. You can correct details, add notes, manage favourites, scan a folder, and safely remove library records without turning a listening device into a desktop administration tool.
Free local listening, with optional private services
The complete local-file library and playback experience is free. Audely Pro adds on-device podcast transcription and optional services for keeping supported library information protected and current across your Apple devices.

Frequently asked questions
Which iPhone and iPad versions support Audely?
Audely requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later.
Can Audely use audio from the Files app?
Yes. Add a local or iCloud Drive folder through the system file picker, then identify its contents as audiobooks, podcasts, or both.
Does Audely work in landscape?
Audely is portrait-only on iPhone. On iPad it supports portrait, portrait upside down, and both landscape orientations.
Is the iPad app different from the iPhone app?
Both provide the same core library, playback, search, folder, transcript, sync, and backup workflows. iPad adapts navigation and layouts to the larger display.
Can I edit my audiobook and podcast information on mobile?
Yes. iPhone and iPad provide settings and actions for one book, part, show, or episode at a time. Bulk editing remains a Mac workflow.
Can I listen without mobile data or Wi-Fi?
Yes, when the source file is downloaded and available on the device. An item visible in iCloud Drive may still need to download before offline playback.
