Offline audiobook player for iPhone
What is Wave Books?
Wave Books is a private, offline-first audiobook player for iPhone, built for DRM-free audiobook files you already own. It turns M4B, M4A, and MP3 files into an organized personal library with cover art, chapters, bookmarks, and playback progress. Import from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, Open In, or external storage, then listen without an internet connection, mobile data, or Wi-Fi.
Wave Books does not unlock or remove DRM from protected audiobooks. It is designed for compatible files you can legally copy to your device. No Wave Books account or recurring subscription is required, and support for AudiobookShelf and Jellyfin self-hosted servers is coming soon.
Can you listen without internet?
Yes. Import or download a compatible audiobook once, then play it offline wherever you go.
Is an account or subscription required?
No. Your personal library works without a Wave Books account or a recurring subscription.
Are self-hosted servers supported?
AudiobookShelf and Jellyfin connections are coming soon. Local Files, AirDrop, external storage, and iCloud Drive imports are available now.
