Audely documentation
Everything you need to turn folders of audio into a private listening library on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Find your way around Audely
Build your library
Link folders on each device, understand what Audely reads, and learn how source audio stays protected.
Settle in and listen
Learn the player, queue, playback speeds, sleep timer, chapters, and per-show preferences.
Generate transcripts
With Pro, read, search, and generate transcripts on your device. If Pro ends, short previews and transcript/model cleanup remain available while full reading and search wait for Pro.
Continue on another device
Understand what syncs through iCloud, what remains local, and how each device links to its own audio.
Protect library metadata
Use Audely Pro cloud backups as versioned recovery points for library information and listening state.
Solve a problem
Check source access, missing files, iCloud state, transcript models, sync status, and common recovery steps.
The short version
Audely reads audio from folders you choose. It stores artwork, metadata, progress, favourites, transcripts, and preferences in its own local library. Removing a source or a Audely library record does not delete the original audio file.
When you opt into sync, supported library information moves through your private iCloud database. Source audio, folder permissions, bookmarks, and device-specific file locations never sync.
