Choose your folders
Link local or iCloud Drive folders on each device. Audely scans supported audio in place, including files inside subfolders.
A podcast player for your own files
Turn downloaded episodes and archived shows into a proper podcast library. Audely organises the audio you already have without moving it, uploading it, or tracking what you hear.
Your podcast archive, organised for listening
A folder of audio files should feel like a podcast library, not a list of unrelated tracks. Audely keeps show information, episode details, artwork, progress, and playback controls together, whether you have an old podcast archive or a few recent downloads. Personal audiobooks retain their own book and part organisation.
Browse shows and episodes
Metadata, filenames, and folder context help turn individual files into shows and episodes with artwork and publication details.
Listen privately and offline
Audely has no advertising, analytics, or separate account. Once the audio is available locally, playback does not depend on a podcast service.
Built around long-form listening
Resume an episode where you stopped, choose a playback speed, use the sleep timer, manage the queue, follow embedded chapters, and keep podcast-specific preferences.
You can correct titles, descriptions, and artwork inside Audely without rewriting the source audio. On Mac, bulk editing helps clean up larger archives.

Frequently asked questions
Can Audely play podcast episodes I have already downloaded?
Yes. Choose a folder containing supported audio and identify it as podcasts. Audely scans the folder and organises the files into shows and episodes using their metadata, filenames, and folder structure.
Does Audely subscribe to podcast feeds?
No. Audely is designed for podcast audio files you already have. It does not follow RSS feeds or download newly published episodes from podcast services.
Does Audely copy or rewrite my podcast files?
No. Audely reads audio in the folder you choose and stores library details separately. Editing or removing an episode in Audely does not rewrite or delete the source file.
Can I listen without an internet connection?
Yes, provided the audio file is available on the device. Files stored in iCloud Drive must be downloaded before they can play offline.
Which podcast audio formats are supported?
Audely supports AAC, AIF, AIFC, AIFF, CAF, FLAC, M4A, M4B, MP3, and WAV files, along with compatible audio types recognised by the system.
Is the local podcast library free?
Yes. The free version has no limit on shows or episodes and includes playback, queueing, search, editing, favourites, notes, chapters, and library management. Audely Pro adds full transcripts, on-device transcription, sync, backups, and all themes.
