Recto Audiobooks

Recto is a native iOS audiobook player built for people who take their libraries seriously. Connect to your Plex Media Server and experience your audiobook collection the way it deserves — with a polished, Apple Music-inspired interface designed from the ground up for listening.

Your library. Your way. Recto pulls your audiobooks directly from Plex, giving you complete control over your collection without subscriptions, DRM, or relying on someone else's catalog. If you own the files, Recto makes them shine.

Built for Listeners • Elegant, distraction-free player interface • Series and author grouping with rich metadata • Background audio with full lock screen controls • Variable speed playback and sleep timer • Chapter navigation and cover art • Progress tracking across your library

Apple-Native. Always. Recto is built entirely with Swift and SwiftUI — no web views, no compromises. It feels like it belongs on your iPhone because it was designed to.

More Coming Plex is just the beginning. Additional library sources are on the way for listeners who want even more flexibility. Recto is free to download and use. No subscription. No catch.
