Bookshelf Offline Audio Player

Drag and drop directly into the app from any computer.

Your books. Your files. Your place.

Bookshelf is a private, offline audiobook player for the MP3, M4A, and M4B files you own. Bring books in from any computer, then listen exactly your way.

FROM ANY COMPUTER Open Bookshelf’s private receiver, enter its local address in a browser, and drop in your books. It works from Mac, Windows, Linux, or Chromebook, and the transfer stays on your local network.

FASTEST ON A MAC With iPhone Mirroring, drag an audiobook straight from Finder onto Bookshelf. No upload form and no cable—just drag, drop, and listen.

You can also import through Files, AirDrop, the share sheet, or ZIP archives when those fit better. Bookshelf preserves embedded chapters, metadata, and cover artwork, and lets you review details before adding a book.
