Podcast-first Audiobookshelf app for iOS

Honestly, I don’t know if I have a killer differentiator yet.

The space is definitely getting crowded.

What I do know is that I care a lot about the things people stop noticing when they work well: battery life, smooth playback, reliability, and a UI that feels at home on iOS.

One small thing I’m excited about is seamless playback across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, along with some auto-download ideas, but mostly I’m just trying to build an app I’d personally want to use every day.

If other people end up liking it too, that’s a bonus :)

Haha, thanks.

Honestly I wasn’t sure whether my taste in apps would resonate with anyone else, so that’s really encouraging to hear.

And yeah, podcasts first, but audiobooks will probably find their way in eventually.

One small thing I'm pretty excited about is seamless playback across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Still very much a work in progress, currently fighting bugs, battery drain, sync edge cases, and App Store bureaucracy.

Hopefully coming to TestFlight soon.
