What the desktop unlocks

The Mac edition is the deep end: more formats out, more books at once, more keyboard.

🖱️

Drag and drop anything

Drop a whole folder of MP3s — or a video file — straight onto the window. CUE sheets dropped alongside become chapters automatically.

🪟

Multiple books at once

Every window is an independent project. Work through a whole series without losing your place in any book.

🎚️

MP3 export with chapters

The direct-download edition bundles the LAME encoder for MP3 output with full ID3 chapter markers — for players that never learned M4B.

🗜️

xHE-AAC, half the size

Hook up the open-source exhale encoder — one click builds it from source — and export books at roughly half the size of AAC with the same speech quality.

⌨️

Toolbar Join & Split

Select files and join them into one chapter — or split them back — right from the toolbar. Space previews the selection, menus carry shortcuts.

📂

Library-aware import

Tidy folder structures like Author/Series/1 — Title (Year) pre-fill the book's metadata before you type a thing.

Chapters, organized

See inside every chapter

Expand any chapter to see exactly which source files it contains. Join and Split reshape the book in a click, and every title edits inline.

Export, informed

Know the size before you commit

Presets for common cases, full manual control for the rest — and a live input → output summary with an estimated file size, so there are no surprises when the export lands.
