Built for the way you use it

Everything useful. Nothing noisy.

Your whole library

Choose a folder once. Kelp finds MP3, M4A, and M4B books, reads their metadata, and keeps the library in sync.

Focused playback

Chapters, bookmarks, speed controls, configurable skips, sleep timers, smart rewind, and background playback.

Organized your way

Browse books, series, authors, favorites, and collections without moving or uploading the original audio.

Listening insights

Private, on-device goals, streaks, weekly activity, and completion history help you find your rhythm.

Ready for the road

Android Auto, a home-screen widget, lock-screen controls, Bluetooth controls, and optional Google Cast support.

Make it yours

Material You colors across the app and artwork-derived player palettes for every book you open.

How it works

Three steps. Then it gets out of your way.

  1. 01

    Choose your folder

    Use Android’s system picker to give Kelp access only to the audiobook folder you select.

  2. 02

    Kelp organizes it

    Titles, authors, covers, chapters, series, and multi-part books come together on-device.

  3. 03

    Pick up anywhere

    Every book remembers its position and speed, whether you listen in the app, car, or widget.

Privacy, in plain language

Your attention belongs to you.

Scanning, metadata extraction, playback progress, bookmarks, and listening history stay on your device. Optional metadata lookup, billing, and Cast are clearly disclosed.
