Audely Pro

A complete free library with optional extras

Audely’s free tier is a complete local-file audiobook and podcast player with no limit on books, parts, shows, or episodes. Audely Pro adds collection creation and editing, on-device podcast transcription, optional iCloud services, and appearance choices.

What is included for free

• Add and scan local or iCloud Drive folders.
• Browse, search, and filter an unrestricted local library, and edit book, show, part, and episode details.
• Play audio with speed controls, skip intervals, a sleep timer, embedded chapters, and a queue.
• Use favourites, played state, notes, per-audiobook and per-podcast settings, and a customisable Home.
• Read short podcast transcript previews when transcript data already exists.
• Cancel transcription and remove transcripts or the local transcription model.

What Audely Pro adds

• Create and edit collections to organise books and shows.
• Read full podcast transcripts, search podcast transcript text, download the model, and generate podcast transcripts on the device. Audiobook parts remain excluded.
• Sync supported library data across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud account.
• Create, schedule, and restore recent cloud backups stored in iCloud.
• Use pure black in Dark Mode and more appearance options, like hiding the Home logo or empty notes and transcripts.

Source audio is never uploaded for transcription, sync, or cloud backups.

Start or restore Audely Pro

The app shows the current App Store price, billing period, and any trial available to the signed-in Apple Account before purchase. The yearly action says Start free trial when you are eligible, or Subscribe yearly otherwise. One subscription covers supported Audely apps using that Apple Account. Family Sharing is not included.

Choosing New collection, Edit collection, or a membership or order change without Audely Pro opens the purchase page. A successful purchase or restore resumes the requested action. Closing the purchase page cancels that request.

Manage or cancel a subscription

Open Audely Pro and choose Manage subscription to continue in the App Store. Cancelling stops renewal but does not end access immediately. Pro remains available until the subscription or trial reaches the date shown by the App Store.

When your Audely Pro subscription ends

• Your books, parts, shows, episodes, edited details, progress, favourites, notes, transcripts, linked source folders, synced library data, backups, and source audio are not deleted.
• Creating or editing collections, including membership and order changes, requires Audely Pro. Existing collections remain available to browse, play, and delete.
• Full transcript reading and transcript-text search pause. Short episode-page previews remain visible.
• New transcript generation and model downloads pause. You can still cancel queued or active work and remove transcripts or model data.
• Ordinary sync and new backup creation stop. Existing backups remain listed and can still be deleted, while starting a restore continues to require Audely Pro. If a restore has already replaced the library, Audely may finish its pending iCloud repair, as explained in Cloud backups and restore.
• Pure black switches off, the Home logo becomes visible, and empty notes and transcripts show again after the App Store confirms that your Audely Pro subscription has ended. Starting Audely Pro again does not restore the previous choices.

Subscribe again or use Restore purchases to resume the Audely Pro features available to the current Apple Account.
