Description

Voice is a calm audiobook player for people who love stories and bring their own books.

Pick the folder with your audiobooks. Voice shows you the books it finds, adds them to your library, and remembers your place in every one. Then it gets out of the way, so you can just listen.

A player that matches your book

• The player takes its colors from the cover of the book you're listening to
• Voice remembers your place in every book
• Playback speed, skip silence, and volume boost for quiet recordings
• Jumped too far? One tap takes you back
• Auto rewind after a pause, so you don't lose the thread

Fall asleep to a story

• Sleep timer with a gentle fade-out, or stop at the end of the chapter
• Shake your phone right after the timer ends to restart it
• A calm night look while the timer runs

Never lose your place

• Save a moment with a long press, and add a name or a note later
• Mark bookmarks as favorites, quotes, notes, or places to revisit
• Your listening history shows every play, pause, and jump, so you can always find your way back
• See when your car, headphones, or watch started a book, and go back to where you were with one tap
• Sync your audiobook folders, for example with Syncthing, and your place, speed, and bookmarks follow you to your other devices

Your library, your way

• Continue listening right from the top of your library
• Books sorted into current, not started, and completed
• Search by title and author
• List and grid views
• Covers from the file, your phone, or an online search
• Home screen widgets: Now playing and Shelf
• Media notification and Android Auto
• Light, dark, and pure black themes, Dynamic color, and color schemes to make Voice yours
• Available in 32 languages

Bring your own files

Voice plays DRM-free audiobooks such as M4B, MP3, M4A, OGG, OGA, and OPUS. Keep your books in folders the way you like. A folder can hold a single book or your whole library, and Voice organizes it for you.

Just you and your stories

• No account
• No ads
• Nothing behind a paywall
• Your books stay on your device

If you enjoy Voice, you can support it from the settings. It's a thank-you and unlocks nothing.
