Everything your library deserves

NoBookEnds turns your Audiobookshelf server into a polished listening and reading app. Here is what is inside.

Unified library

One shelf for every format. NoBookEnds folds the audiobook and the ebook of the same title into a single book, using the ISBN or ASIN when they exist and the title and author when they do not.

  • Audiobooks and ebooks of the same book shown together
  • Browse across all of your libraries at once
  • Continue listening and continue reading shelves on the home screen
  • Rich book pages with covers, authors, narrators, series and descriptions

Audio player

A player made for long books and late nights.

  • Background playback with lock screen and notification controls
  • Playback speed from 0.5x to 3x
  • Sleep timer by minutes or at the end of the chapter
  • Chapter list and a book-length scrubber
  • Skip back and forward by 10 to 60 seconds, your choice
  • Picks up your last book, paused and ready, when you open the app

Read the way you like, in scroll or page mode.

  • Continuous scroll or page-by-page reading
