iOS 26 · Audiobook player for the books you own
Every word, lit as it’s spoken.
Voxlight plays the audiobooks you own — and remembers the parts that moved you. Tap once and the moment is saved: the audio around it, a transcript made on your device, your note. No accounts, no analytics. Your files, your Plex server, your iPhone.
↑ Live Text karaoke — generated on your device, for any audiobook
What it does
A player that keeps a journal of your listening life.
Moments worth keeping
Heard something worth saving? One tap captures the passage — the audio around it, a transcript made on your device, your note, and (only if you choose) where you were. Capture from the player, a widget, or a back-tap Shortcut without leaving your podcast walk.
Your listening, remembered
The History tab is a listening journal: Moments grouped by day, a weekly recap of your minutes and streaks, and one-tap replay of the passages you saved. Moments sync across your iPhone and iPad via iCloud.
Live lyrics for any audiobook
Flip to karaoke view and Voxlight transcribes the narration on-device as it plays — words lighting up like live lyrics in a music app. Any audiobook, no publisher support needed.
Your Plex server, anywhere
Connect your own Plex Media Server — or more than one — and browse your audiobook library on the go. Stream instantly or download for offline listening — your server, your credentials, the books you own.
Take your notes with you
Moments export cleanly to Markdown, JSON, and Readwise-ready CSV. Your marginalia belongs in your system, not locked in ours.
A serious player
Variable speed from 0.5× to 3×, sleep timer, smart rewind after a pause, chapter navigation, background playback with lock-screen controls — plus a full widget suite: now playing, capture, stats, a listening heat calendar, and a library shelf.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your phone.
- Transcription runs entirely on-device, on the Neural Engine.
- No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No server of ours, anywhere.
- Moments sync through your private iCloud — we can’t see them.
- Location tags on Moments are optional, off by default, and stay in your data.
- Plex traffic goes directly to your server with your credentials.
