Description

Spine is the audiobook app you'll actually leave open.

It streams from your own cloud library, syncs with Hardcover, and turns the habit of listening into something worth coming back to — listener levels, daily streaks, and a year-in-review Recap bright enough to share. Built native for iOS 26, with Liquid Glass, serif typography, and a player carved into the book's detail page.

No subscription. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account to create with us.
Bring your own library, keep your own data.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• ONE PAGE FOR THE BOOK — No separate Now Playing screen. Cover, scrubber, transport, speed, sleep timer, chapters, and bookmarks all live inline on the detail page, on an ambient backdrop tinted by the cover.
• CHAPTERS THAT JUST WORK — Single-file M4B audiobooks expose their chapters automatically. Cloud folders with multiple M4Bs split into separate library entries. No manual editing, no reprocessing.
• HARDCOVER SYNC — Just listen. Spine logs progress and finished books to Hardcover, pulls cover art, genre, and structured series data, and keeps your shelves in sync.
• ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE — Open the next book in a tracked series and Spine writes a two-sentence "previously on…" recap from what you've already finished. It also rewrites bloated marketing descriptions into a calm summary, captions your Recap, and cleans up filename-salad titles. All on Apple's on-device foundation model. Nothing about your library leaves the phone.
• LEVELS, STREAKS, AND GOALS — Lifetime hours unlock six tiers, from Sapling to Oracle. A unified daily/yearly goal card, a streak chip, and a year-spanning heatmap show the shape of your habit at a glance.
• A RECAP YOU'LL WANT TO SHARE — Five bright screens covering hours, finished books, top author and genre, monthly rhythm, and the books you marked Read on Hardcover. One tap stitches the whole thing into a postable image.
• PLAYBACK THAT PAYS ATTENTION — Step away for a moment and Spine rewinds a few seconds when you press play. The sleep timer fades audio gently to zero. Finish a series entry and the next book surfaces automatically.
• LIVE ON THE LOCK SCREEN — Live Activities follow the current book onto the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, with a tappable Play/Pause. The home-screen widget mirrors the same control on a cover-tinted backdrop — toggle playback in one tap, even when Spine isn't running.
• BOOKMARKS WORTH KEEPING — Tap to mark any moment with a written note. Tap to jump back later.
• SEARCH THAT POINTS SOMEWHERE — Open the search tab cold and you get a trending-genre card tuned to what you actually listen to, a Discover list of Audible new releases, and trending shortcuts. Most people aren't searching their own shelf — they're looking for the next thing.
• EVERY BOOK IS A DOORWAY — Detail pages carry "More by author", "Top in genre", and a "Part of {Series}" rail that interleaves the books you own with the Hardcover siblings you don't — in reading order — right under your bookmarks.
• CLOUD LIBRARY, REPAIRED IN ONE TAP — When a cloud title expires or goes stale, Spine flags it on the detail page and offers a one-tap re-download. No re-adding, no losing your progress.
• SPOTLIGHT-INDEXED — Search your library from anywhere in iOS.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
Spine has no servers, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. API keys live in the iOS Keychain. Your library, listening history, and bookmarks stay on your device (and sync via your own iCloud, if you enable it). The on-device AI features run on Apple Intelligence — your books never leave the phone.

REQUIREMENTS
• iPhone running iOS 26.
• A cloud audiobook library (Torbox and Audiobookshelf supported in v1).
• A free Hardcover account is recommended for metadata, search, and read sync.
• Apple Intelligence-eligible device is required for the optional AI features (everything else works without it).

Nouveautés (v1.0.7)

The Library tab grows up, and Spine reaches well beyond it.

Multi select in the Library - Tap Select to enter selection mode, then batch act on covers in one tap: mark finished, save for later, download, reset progress, or remove from Torbox.
Sort and group, separated - Two independent menus. Sort by (Date Added, Title, Duration) and Group by (None, Author, Series). Mix and match however you like.
Group by Series and Author - Series view shows the books you don't own yet as faded ghost tiles. Tap one to find it in Discover. Author view shelves every author with two or more books.
Built for large libraries - The Library now stays fast and smooth with thousands of books, painting progressively as your collection loads instead of blocking.
Audiobookshelf over plain HTTP - Connect to self hosted servers on Tailscale, LAN, or any private network. No public TLS certificate required.
Live progress sync to Hardcover - Spine now pushes your exact listening position to Hardcover, matched to the right audiobook edition. Automatic whenever Hardcover is connected.
A bedtime grade sleep timer - Shake to reset or extend with the screen locked, a configurable fade out, an auto sleep window for your wind down hours, and an optional Extend or Reset prompt when time runs out.
Resizable skip buttons - Choose how far skip forward and skip back jump, across the full player, mini player, Lock Screen, CarPlay, and AirPods.
Listening stats that follow you - Your Activity, including listening time, streaks, books finished, and time saved, now syncs through iCloud, surviving reinstalls and showing up on every device.

Plus: one tap recovery of expired titles, confirmation haptics throughout, calmer chapter controls, language aware series shelves, and widgets that keep cover art in true color on tinted Home Screens.
