How it works

Three steps to your library

Run Audiobookshelf

Your books live on your own Audiobookshelf server, version 2.26 or newer. Prosody does not have a server of its own.
Install Prosody

Prosody is in testing ahead of its Google Play release. It runs on Android 8.0 or newer.
Enter your server address and sign in

Point Prosody at your server and sign in. Self-signed certificates and private certificate authorities are supported, with a review and pin flow.

Privacy

Nothing comes back to us

Prosody has no server of its own, no analytics and no advertising. The only machine it talks to is the one you point it at.

Read the full privacy policy

Prosody talks only to the Audiobookshelf server you enter. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
No accounts with the developer, no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, no advertising identifiers.
Your server address, sign-in token, library listing, progress, bookmarks and downloads stay in the app's private storage.
Signing out or uninstalling removes all of it, downloads included.
Self-signed certificates and private certificate authorities are supported, with a review and pin flow.
Your account and listening history live on your server, which you administer.
