ShelfCasts

Access your AudioBookShelf server podcasts. Arrange your podcasts in a queue. Listen from your phone or CarPlay.

Listen to the podcasts in your Audiobookshelf library with ShelfCasts.

I began writing this app in May 2025. At the time, there were few options for listening to content on an Audiobookshelf server, and I wanted an app built around the ways I listen: on the road, on a bike, and wherever a connection may be unreliable.

Browse your podcasts, manage your playback queue, and keep listening as one episode ends and the next begins.

Features include:

• CarPlay support for listening in the car • A playback queue you can easily arrange • Downloads for listening when connectivity is poor • Chapter navigation and embedded artwork when available in an episode • Automatic downloads of new episodes • Notifications when ShelfCast discovers new episodes on your server

During development, I realized I wanted different features for podcasts and audiobooks, so I created two separate apps. ShelfCasts is dedicated to podcasts. If you also listen to audiobooks, look for ShelfTales.

An Audiobookshelf server and an account with access to a podcast library are required.
