Lull: Audiobooks & Podcasts

About

Lull is a full podcast and audiobook player for everywhere you listen: the commute, the car, the gym, and bed. Its sleep timer doesn't just stop your show. It fades it into soothing sleep sounds that play all night, so there's no second app to reach for. With Premium and an Apple Watch, Lull notices when you actually drift off, instead of guessing with a timer, and keeps your place right there. PODCASTS Follow your favorite shows by name. Lull downloads new episodes, plays the next one on its own, and remembers your spot in every episode. Audiobookshelf podcasts play too, synced back to your server. YOUR BOOKS, HOWEVER YOU HAVE THEM - Plex or Audiobookshelf: stream your whole library with full chapters, and progress syncs back to your server - Your own .m4b or .mp3 audiobooks from the Files app, no account, no setup - Free public-domain audiobooks from LibriVox, no sign-up WON'T WAKE YOU BY ACCIDENT A shake always brings your book back in one motion. Your headset button works too, but once you've drifted off a lone press is held, not obeyed. Press again to confirm. That's Roll-over protection, and you can turn it off. NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE, ON ANY DEVICE When the sounds take over, your place goes back to about where you drifted off. Your spot, favorites, and saved sleep mixes sync through iCloud across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. SLEEP SOUNDS, WITH OR WITHOUT A BOOK Mix your own from more than 50 sounds: ocean, rain, fireplace, fan, birdsong, a cat purr, heartbeat, brown/pink/white noise, and more. Save named mixes. Use them after your story, or on their own as a full sound machine. FREE TRANSCRIPTS AND SUMMARIES (APPLE INTELLIGENCE) Made on your iPhone, and nothing leaves it.
