You choose audiobook files, or a folder of them, in the system file picker. The app keeps the address of each file and reads the file on your phone to play it and to read its title, author, length, chapter marks and cover picture. The audio and the cover are never sent anywhere: the app has no permission to use the internet. The app contains no books, no covers and no catalogue of its own.
The app does not record. It plays your books through the speaker, headphones or a Bluetooth device, and it asks for no microphone permission.
Your shelf (title, author, the addresses of the files, chapter marks, your place in each book and its playback speed), your bookmarks and notes, and a few settings: skip distances, the step back after a pause, the speed for new books and the sort order. There is no account, no server of ours, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. We cannot see your books, your place or your notes.
While a book plays, Android shows a notification with play, pause and skip, also on the lock screen. The app asks for permission to show it once, before the first book plays. If you refuse, the book still plays. The app uses a foreground service so playback continues with the screen off, and keeps the processor awake only while a book is playing.
A bookmark export, a data export or a backup is written only where you pick in the system file dialog. A backup is read only when you pick it. The app asks for no storage, contacts, location or camera permission.
Purchases go through Google Play Billing. Google collects App info and performance > Diagnostics (collected, not shared with us or anyone by us, required for purchases to work) under Google's own privacy policy.
Settings > Export all my data saves a spreadsheet (CSV) of your shelf, bookmarks and settings. Settings > Delete all data erases the shelf, places, bookmarks and settings and returns the app to a fresh install; your audio files are not touched, because they are yours. Removing a book from the shelf does not delete its files either. Uninstalling removes the app's data. If you use Android backup, the shelf and settings may be included in your Google backup; turning backup off in Android settings stops that.
The app is not designed for children under 13 and collects nothing from anyone.
If this policy changes, the new version is published at the address above with a new date. Last updated: 2026-11-07.
