About Lorecaster App
Lorecaster turns your Mac into your own private audiobook server and streams your entire library straight to your iPhone — no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in, no accounts to hand your data to. Point Lorecaster at the free Lorecaster server (available on the Mac App Store), and your whole collection appears instantly: covers, chapters, and where you left off. Listen at home over your network, or download books to take them anywhere — on a flight, a run, or anywhere without signal. Built entirely in Swift and designed for the latest iPhone, Lorecaster is fast, lightweight, and effortless. It launches quickly, scrolls smoothly, and sips battery — so nothing gets between you and the next chapter. Beautiful to look at, effortless to use • Gorgeous, full-resolution cover art across a clean, modern library • Simple, focused controls — play, skip, and navigate chapters without hunting through menus • A distraction-free player that puts the story first Made for listening • Stream over your local network, or download for full offline playback • Accurate resume — pick up exactly where you left off, every time • Chapter navigation, adjustable speed (0.5×–2×), and a sleep timer (including End of Chapter) • Smart Rewind nudges you back a few seconds after a pause, so you never lose the thread • Full lock screen, Control Center, and headphone controls • Your progress syncs back to your Mac automatically Private by design • Your library lives on your Mac — not on someone else's servers • Connects automatically on your network, or by simple address entry • Optional multi-user sign-in lets you share your library and keeps everyone's progress separate Lorecaster requires the free Lorecaster companion app for Mac, available on the Mac App Store.
What’s new
Version 1.1.3 · Updated October 7, 2026
What's new in 1.1.3 • An Apple Watch app controls playback, chapters, speed, and the sleep timer. Plus unlocks it, and it installs with the iPhone app. Listening on iPhone and CarPlay stays free. • Drop audiobook files onto Lorecaster to import them. Import stays part of Plus. • iPad and the open iPhone Duo use a side menu. iPhone, the Duo's front display, and Split View keep the tab bar. The closed Duo front display rotates when the hinge is at the top. • One downloaded book is free. Plus keeps more than one offline, along with local import and the Watch app. Books already on the device are left where they are. • On a book page, the Hardcover link and the download suggestion start as a single line. Open either one and it stays open for that book. • CarPlay shows Loading while a book is opening, then switches to Now Playing when it's ready.
