What it does.

Server-Connected

Pairs directly with your self-hosted Audiobookshelf library. Your server, your books, your rules.

Stream or Download

Listen online or save books for the road. A downloaded book plays from the file on device; everything else streams.

Smart Playback

Context-aware rewind when you resume. Chapter navigation, sleep timer with fade-out, and Mini Player.

Always in Sync

Picks up exactly where you left off — across all your devices, automatically, via your Audiobookshelf server.

Make It Yours

Choose from three icon styles — Modern, Classic, or Neon — plus five accent colors.

Local Files

No server? Import audio files straight from this device — m4b, mp3, flac and more — and play them from the same library.

Listening History

Tap any moment in your session timeline to jump straight back. A scrollable, visual record of every chapter and pause.

Built for self-hosters

Made for Audiobookshelf

Your library lives on your server; Storytime plays it. No subscriptions, no tracking, no cloud you don't control — an iOS player that speaks Audiobookshelf natively.
