Earmark Audiobooks

Your audiobooks. Your files. Your place in the story.

Earmark brings your MP3s, M4Bs and other audio files into a personal audiobook library. Listen from folders in Files or iCloud Drive, stream from your NAS, or download books for offline listening. No account, subscription or ads.

SETTLE INTO A GOOD BOOK
• Adjust playback from 0.5x to 3x with natural pitch and a speed remembered for each book.
• Jump between chapters, skip back or forward, and save bookmarks.
• Fall asleep with a timer, including an end-of-chapter option.
• Pick up the thread with smart rewind after a pause.
• Control playback from the lock screen and CarPlay's Now Playing screen.
• Save listening presets for the way you like to listen.

A SHELF THAT MAKES SENSE
Browse by author, series or folder, and search your collection. Earmark uses file tags and folder names to group tracks into books, including multi-disc folders. Find duplicates, adjust book groupings, and put tracks in the right order. Save smart lists and see new arrivals without losing your place.

AT HOME OR ON THE ROAD
Connect an SMB share to browse your NAS alongside local books. Stream while your server is reachable, or prepare books for an offline trip. Reconnect a moved library and back up your library state to keep your organization and listening progress safe.

YOUR COLLECTION STAYS YOURS
Playing a book leaves its audio files where they are. Downloads, moves into Earmark and uploads to your NAS happen only when you request them. Bring your own audiobooks; no catalog or books are included.

Free and open source. No analytics, donation prompts or rating nags.
