Listen Queue

The article read aloud, the sermon, the lecture: Listen Queue downloads it once, keeps it on your device, and remembers exactly where you stopped.

Listen Queue is a private library for spoken audio. Give it a direct link to an MP3 or other audio file, or add one from the Files app or AirDrop, and it keeps the file on your iPhone or iPad and remembers exactly where you stopped. A phone call, a locked screen, or a closed app no longer costs you your place.

It is made for long listening: essays and articles read aloud, sermons, lectures, and books in chapters.

YOUR PLACE, KEPT • Resumes where you left off, even after the app is closed • Bookmarks with notes, to return to a passage later • Finished items start again from the beginning

CHAPTERS AND COVER ART • Reads the title, author, cover art, and chapter markers embedded in the file • Jump between chapters and see which one you are in

LISTENING • Plays in the background with Lock Screen, Control Center, and Dynamic Island controls • Skip 15 seconds back or forward • Speeds from 0.75× to 2×, remembered between sessions • Sleep timer for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or the end of the chapter • Pauses when headphones are disconnected

ADDING AUDIO • Paste a link, or share one from Safari with the Share button • Choose a file from Files or iCloud Drive, or open audio sent by AirDrop • Downloads continue in the background, with progress shown • Supports MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF, and FLAC

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no advertising, and no tracking. Your audio and your listening history stay on your device. The only connection Listen Queue makes is to the link you give it.
