Drift off. Keep your place.

Stop after a set time, at the end of the chapter, or at a time of night. The story fades out gently, and if you’re still awake, a shake gives you more time.

On by itself at bedtimeSet the hour once and the timer starts when you press play late.
Countdown on the Lock ScreenAnd in the Dynamic Island, without unlocking.

The sleep timer menu over the player: stop playing after 5, 10, 15, 30 or 45 minutes, 1 hour, 1 hour 30 minutes, at the end of the chapter, or a custom time.

Before you download.

Does it play Audible or Apple Books?

No. Audible and Apple Books purchases are locked with DRM, and Awdio plays DRM-free files only. If your audiobooks are plain files, such as M4B, MP3 or FLAC, Awdio plays them, and the free LibriVox classics are always there.

Where do the books come from?

From files you already own (in the Files app, iCloud Drive or any folder), from your own Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin or Plex server, or from LibriVox inside the app. LibriVox recordings are in the public domain in the United States; copyright rules can differ where you live.

What does it cost?

Awdio is free to download. There’s no account to create, no ads and no tracking, and the LibriVox classics are free too.

Does it work on iPad and Apple Watch?

Yes. Awdio runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. On Apple Watch you can take a book with you and listen offline with AirPods.

Does it work with my media server?

Yes, if it’s Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin or Plex. Add your server in Settings, under Media Servers, and download the books you want. Your listening position stays in step with the server both ways.

Will my place follow me between devices?

Turn on iCloud Sync and your place, bookmarks and listening history stay the same on your iPhone and iPad, stored in your own private iCloud account.

Which languages does Awdio speak?

32 of them. Awdio follows the language you’ve set on your device. Questions we haven’t answered here are on the support page.
