Audiobookshelf

Stream your audiobooks and podcasts from your own server to browsers and phones

GitHub 15k Self-hosted Open Source GPL-3.0 Web

Audiobookshelf is a self-hosted server for audiobooks and podcasts. It is for people with an audio library who want listening progress kept per user and synced across devices, without depending on a hosted service.

It streams all common audio formats, supports multiple users with their own permissions, and detects library changes automatically. It can fetch metadata and cover art, edit chapters, merge audio files into a single m4b, and open basic ebooks in epub, pdf, cbr and cbz. Podcasts can be searched, added and auto-downloaded, and RSS feeds can be published. It runs on your own server, and its web app is a Progressive Web App with Chromecast support.

Quick start
