**A clean, user-focused audiobook player for Android, built to be reliable and a joy to use.**

Voice turns your own audiobook files into a calm, focused listening library. It remembers where you stopped, keeps playback controls close, and includes the audiobook-specific details that generic music players miss: chapter navigation, sleep timer, bookmarks, playback speed, silence skipping, and auto-rewind after pauses.

## Why Voice?

- **Made for your files:** Add a folder once and Voice organizes your local M4B, MP3, M4A, OGG, OGA, and OPUS audiobooks.
- **Built for listening:** Resume positions, bookmarks, sleep timer fade-out, volume boost, speed control, and Android Auto support are part of the core experience.
- **Private and uncluttered:** No account, no ads, no forced cloud sync. Your library stays on your device.

## Support Voice

Voice has no ads, no investors and no company behind it. It's made by one developer and kept going by its listeners. Monthly support is what lets me plan the next release, not just the next fix. Ko-fi needs no account:
