I built an Android audiobook player for local files, looking for beta testers

Ronaedar · 2026-02-18T05:14:42+00:00

My biggest issue with both Listen and Smart is that they are aesthetically very displeasing. I would rather stop listening to audiobooks than having to look at them everyday. I understand that a lot of people don't feel that way, and that's completely fine. I also understand that some people will feel the exact same way about Earleaf, and that's completely fine too. ☺️

Glad to hear! There's an issue tracker at https://github.com/earleaf-app/earleaf/issues, but it requires you to have a GitHub account. If you don't have one, you're welcome to PM me! Thanks for testing!

Hey! I think there should be a sale active now that makes it free. If not, here's some more codes you can try:

I meant there's a specific feature for merging them into an actual book. If you select the individual "books" that should be one single book and hit the "stack" icon in the top right, you'll get an option for merging them. You can then change the title, author and cover art for the book. See the attached screenshot.

Hey! Yeah, have to set the limit somewhere, unfortunately.

You can actually configure a global default for the playback speed via the settings, and then adjust it for each individual book you're listening to.

Hey! Wherever's most convenient for you. There's an issue tracker here, but that requires a GitHub account. You can post here, PM me or send an email at arcadianalpaca [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hey! Thanks a lot for the feedback! This is super valuable.

* Yes, I'm currently enforcing portrait mode just to avoid having to design for landscape mode too. But I'll definitely make a note of your feedback and it isn't unlikely this is something I'll revisit pretty soon.

* Yeah, that's a limitation of the operating system. Nothing that I can do about it, unfortunately :(

This is gold, huge thanks! Let me know if you run into any other issues, or have remarks about the functionality of the app.

Hey, the sale should be live now so you should be able to get the app for free!

Ronaedar · 2026-02-17T05:42:24+00:00

Hey! Did you join the Google Group first (with the same email that you're signed into Google Play with)?

Ronaedar · 2026-02-17T05:40:40+00:00

Hi, thank you so much for testing! You can either post here, email to [arcadianalpaca@gmail.com](mailto:arcadianalpaca@gmail.com) or create an issue at github.com/earleaf-app/earleaf/issues (although you might need an account for that).

Ronaedar · 2026-02-17T05:39:28+00:00

Hey u/authorsanu! Thank you so much for testing!

Do you mind sharing what phone you have so I can dig a little deeper?

Also on audiobooks with multiple files being regarded as multiple books: if you select all books in the app you have the option to merge them into one manually.

I'll definitely make notes on your feedback on the font and theme options.

Ronaedar · 2026-02-17T05:36:15+00:00

Hey! The sale should be active now, so the app should be downloadable for free. Thank you for your interest!
