An audiobook sleep timer that works the way you do

Falling asleep to an audiobook shouldn't mean losing your place. Abookio's sleep timer extends with a shake, can start automatically, and rewinds a little when you resume.

Sleep timer features

  • Shake to extend while the timer is running.
  • Auto-start when you press play.
  • Dial or linear slider to set the time.
  • Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
  • Siri and Shortcuts: “Listen before sleep in Abookio.”
  • Smart Rewind rewinds more after an overnight gap, less after a short break, so you pick up where you actually drifted off.

Plays your own audiobooks

Abookio plays DRM-free M4B, M4A, MP3 and FLAC audiobooks from your files, cloud drives and self-hosted servers. The sleep timer is free.
