Audra: Audiobooks & Podcasts

Audra is an offline-first player for your own AudiobookShelf server. Download your audiobooks and podcasts to your iPhone, then listen anywhere — on a plane, the subway, off the grid — with no connection required.

AudiobookShelf (audiobookshelf.org) is a free, open-source, self-hosted audiobook and podcast server. Audra is a client for it: point it at your server, and your library comes with you.

Features: • Offline first — download books and episodes and play them with zero connection • Audiobooks and podcasts together — multi-track books play as one seamless timeline • Find new podcasts — search the Apple Podcasts directory and download episodes into your library • CarPlay — your downloaded library, hands-free, with Now Playing controls • Playback progress backed up to your private iCloud, so it survives a reinstall or a new phone • Adjustable playback speed, skip controls, and a Mini-player that follows you across the app • Private by design — connects only to your server; no account with us, no tracking, no data collected. Your credentials are stored in the iOS Keychain • Supports self-signed HTTPS certificates for home servers (Synology and similar)

Requires your own AudiobookShelf server, reachable from your iPhone. Audra is not a content store and does not provide any audiobooks or podcasts itself.
