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.
One app for your podcasts and audiobooks
Bring folders of spoken audio into one coherent player without pretending podcasts and audiobooks 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. Podcast episodes do not become audiobook parts, and books do not become generic podcast shows merely because they share a player.
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.
Add separate folders or classify one mixed folder
Link podcast and audiobook folders separately when your collection is already organised that way. If both live together, choose Podcasts and audiobooks 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
Episodes and audiobook parts 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 podcast and audiobook 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 podcasts and audiobooks in one app?
Yes. Podcasts retain shows and episodes, while audiobooks retain books and ordered parts. Both use the same player without being flattened into a generic track list.
Can podcasts and audiobooks share one source folder?
Yes. Add the folder as Podcasts and audiobooks, then mark the audiobook files during classification. Anything left unselected is treated as a podcast.
Do podcasts and audiobooks share listening controls?
Yes. Both support progress, playback speed, chapters, queueing, a sleep timer, notes, favourites, and system media controls where they apply.
Are podcast and audiobook favourites kept separate?
Yes. Podcast episodes can be favourited individually, while an audiobook favourite belongs to the complete book rather than one part.
Can one search find both podcasts and audiobooks?
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.
