AudioNest: Audiobook Player

Every audiobook, one calm home.

AudioNest is a beautiful audiobook player for iPhone and iPad. Listen to thousands of free classics, bring your own library, read every word as it's spoken, and never lose track of who's who.

CHARACTER GUIDES Forget who someone is? Tap the characters button in the player and see who they are, without spoilers. Each character joins the guide once their chapter ends, so it never gets ahead of you. Books with a guide are marked Enhanced.

CAPTIONS CC fills the screen with the narration, line by line; the spoken line lights up. Scroll back to catch something you missed, or tap any line to hear it again. Chapters are marked as they begin. Captions are made on your device, a few minutes ahead, and kept for offline listening. Nothing is uploaded.

3,000+ FREE CLASSICS, AND GROWING Pride and Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes, The Great Gatsby, Dracula and thousands more, ready to play in seconds. No account needed.

YOUR OWN LIBRARY Import audiobooks from Files, or stream from your own server or cloud: Audiobookshelf, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, OneDrive and more. M4B, MP3, ZIP and multi-part books, with chapters.

READ ALONG Have the ebook? Import an EPUB and read beside the player. Read Along lights up the words as they're spoken, and keeps your place in both.

AUDIONEST INTELLIGENCE Long descriptions become a few clear lines, and every bookmark keeps a Memory of the words you saved. Made privately on your device.

A PLAYER THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY Speeds from 0.5× to 3.5×, Smart Rewind, a sleep timer that fades out, and bookmarks with notes.

YOUR LISTENING, REMEMBERED Listening History tells the story of every book. Insights shows streaks, yearly goals, and your top genres and authors.

ON EVERY DEVICE, IF YOU LIKE Start on your iPhone, finish on your iPad. A free AudioNest Account carries your library and progress between your devices, locked so only your devices can read it. Add a profile, keep your streaks, and join a weekly league if you want to see how you stack up. Optional: AudioNest works fully without it.
