Curiosity compiled · v0.0.1
Your audiobooks.
Your shelf.
Zero cloud nonsense.
Point StoryTeller at a folder of audiobooks and it builds you a Plex-style shelf. It falls asleep so you don't have to, keeps everyone's place, and judges your taste — quietly.
Free · macOS & Linux when we get around to it. Phones are "coming soon," allegedly.

What it actually does
A listener that respects your folder and your bedtime
- 01
Plex-style library
Point it at a shared folder. Leaf folders become books; parts are natural-sorted; covers, authors and durations come from your tags. The shelf renders instantly from cache.
- 02
Going-to-sleep mode
Each night it starts a little deeper into the book than the last, stair-stepping through the plot while you're half-conscious — then plays on and rolls into the next queued book.
- 03
Share across the house
Host your library on the LAN. Other devices auto-find it with Scan. No auth by design — it's your network, not ours.
- 04
Sleep timer, with a fade
Pause after N minutes with a gentle 30-second volume fade, so you're not jolted awake by silence. Lights out in 04:59. No refunds.
- 05
Everyone keeps their spot
Tag yourself by name and every listener gets their own bookmark in every book — so when the tablet changes hands, nobody loses their place.
- 06
The usual controls, done right
±30s, prev/next part, seek, speed cycling, auto-advance across a book's parts, and a queue that plays books back-to-back.
A look inside
Warm, dark, and out of your way

Press play, doze off
Flip on Going-to-sleep mode and let the narrator carry on without you, as usual. It'll keep your place.

Questions you'll pretend you didn't have
FAQ
Your own folder. StoryTeller doesn't sell, stream, or host anything — you bring the files, it builds the shelf. Organise them Genre/Author/Series/Book if you like; leaf folders become books and loose files become single-file books.
