Audiobooks stay book-shaped
Browse books, audiobook favourites, ordered parts, embedded chapters, and progress across the complete work. A book is finished only after all of its parts are played.
One app for your audiobooks and podcasts
Bring folders of spoken audio into one coherent player without pretending audiobooks and podcasts are the same thing. Each keeps its own library while everyday listening stays familiar.
Two libraries, one listening experience
Audely keeps the organisation appropriate to each kind of audio. Audiobooks keep their book and part structure, and podcasts keep their show and episode structure, even though they share a player.
Podcasts stay episodic
Browse shows, episodes, podcast favourites, played-state filters, dates, and episode ordering. Each podcast can keep its own speed and visibility preferences.
Add separate folders or classify one mixed folder
Link audiobook and podcast folders separately when your collection is already organised that way. If both live together, choose Audiobooks and podcasts and mark the book files during import.
The classification belongs to the source folder on the current device. It does not rewrite the files or turn folder permission into synced account data.
Shared controls without a generic library
Audiobook parts and podcast episodes use the same core player, queue, search, notes, chapter navigation, playback speed, sleep timer, and system media controls. Content-specific preferences and progress remain attached to the right parent.
One search
Find supported audiobook and podcast information across titles, descriptions, notes, filenames, numbering, and paths.
One player
Continue long-form audio with familiar progress, speed, chapters, queueing, and sleep controls.
Your own files
Source audio remains in local or iCloud Drive folders you choose, without an Audely media account or catalogue.
Frequently asked questions
Can Audely keep audiobooks and podcasts in one app?
Yes. Audiobooks retain books and ordered parts, while podcasts retain shows and episodes. Both use the same player without being flattened into a generic track list.
Can audiobooks and podcasts share one source folder?
Yes. Add the folder as Audiobooks and podcasts, then mark the audiobook files during classification. Anything left unselected is treated as a podcast.
Do audiobooks and podcasts share listening controls?
Yes. Both support progress, playback speed, chapters, queueing, a sleep timer, notes, favourites, and system media controls where they apply.
Are audiobook and podcast favourites kept separate?
Yes. An audiobook favourite belongs to the complete book rather than one part, while podcast episodes can be favourited individually.
Can one search find both audiobooks and podcasts?
Yes. Search can match supported titles, descriptions, notes, numbering, filenames, paths, and other metadata across both libraries while preserving content-appropriate actions.
Is the combined local library free?
Yes. Importing, browsing, editing, playing, searching metadata, managing folders, and tracking progress are unrestricted in the free version.
