Quick answer

Audiobookshelf Android client with playback, downloads, and server management

ShelfDroid is a third-party Android client for self-hosted Audiobookshelf servers.

Use it to browse your audiobook and podcast libraries, stream playback from your server, keep listening offline on your Android device, and handle common server management tasks from the same app.

Features - Browse audiobook and podcast libraries from your Audiobookshelf server - Stream audiobooks and podcast episodes with synced progress - Download books and episodes for durable offline playback - Use chapters, bookmarks, sleep timer, playback speed, and player controls - Manage backups, API keys, users, logs, and server settings when your account has permission - Review listening sessions and other admin screens available to your account - Customize sorting, display preferences, and playback settings

Requirements - An Audiobookshelf server you can sign in to - Android 10 or newer

ShelfDroid does not provide media, hosting, or a managed server. You bring your own Audiobookshelf library and account.

What’s new

What's new:
• Customize the controls shown in your media notification, including playback speed and chapter skipping.
• Choose which screen opens when you tap the media notification.
• Find and manage books and podcasts more reliably, including when offline or after reinstalling the app.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.

  • Files are scanned for malware on every update.
  • The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
  • Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
