## Description

AudioVault is a free Android audiobook player built for people who believe in owning their books — permanently, unconditionally, and without anxiety over losing them.<br><br>No account required. No subscriptions. No cloud lock-in. 100% free, and always will be.<br><br>TWO WAYS TO USE IT<br><br>📱 Local Storage<br>Copy your audiobooks to a folder on your Android device, point the app at that folder, and you&#39;re done. No server, no setup, no tech knowledge needed.<br><br>🏠 Home Server<br>Run a lightweight server at home (a Raspberry Pi works perfectly). Stream your entire library over Wi-Fi or mobile data, with automatic sync of your listening position across all your devices.<br><br>FEATURES<br><br>▸ Supports MP3, M4A, M4B, OGG, FLAC and other common audio formats<br>▸ Remembers your position across sessions<br>▸ Sleep timer (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes)<br>▸ Skip forward / rewind 30 seconds<br>▸ Cover art display<br>▸ Search and filter your library<br>▸ Dark, light, and system theme<br>▸ Family sharing via home server<br><br>WHY NO LOGIN?<br><br>AudioVault was built out of frustration — paying for an audiobook and having it taken away. Audible removes titles. Services shut down. Terms change.<br><br>If you bought it, you should own it.<br><br>The app is designed for a single family sharing a private home server. There is no authentication because you don&#39;t put a lock on the inside of your own front door.<br><br>This is not piracy software. The server runs on a private IP inside your home network — not discoverable, not scalable, not plug-and-play for strangers.<br><br>GETTING STARTED<br><br>Full setup guide available at:<br>https://dejnastosic986.github.io/audiobook-player
