Spoken audio, without losing your place

Your listening place,
remembered.

The article read aloud, the sermon, the lecture. Listen Queue downloads it once, keeps it on your iPhone or iPad, and returns you to the sentence where you stopped.

Built for long listening

A small player with the details that matter.

Browser playback forgets your place the moment something interrupts it. Listen Queue keeps the file and keeps your place.

Always resume

Pause, lock your screen, take a call, or close the app. Listen Queue saves your place as you listen, and the item you were playing is waiting when you come back.

The library, with cover art, how much of each item has been heard, and the current item in the mini player.

Bring a link

Paste a direct link to an audio file, or share one from Safari with the Share button. The download continues in the background, with progress shown.

Files and AirDrop

Add audio saved in Files or iCloud Drive, or open audio sent by AirDrop. The app keeps its own copy.

Voice Boost

One switch trims low rumble, brings consonants forward, and evens out loud and quiet passages without turning the volume down.

Sleep on your terms

Stop in 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or at the end of the current chapter.

The chapter list with start times, and two bookmarks with notes.

Chapters and bookmarks

Listen Queue reads the title, cover art, and chapter markers embedded in the file. Jump between chapters, and save any moment as a bookmark with a note.

Made for the background

Keep listening with the screen locked. Title, cover art, progress, play and pause, and 15-second skips stay on the Lock Screen, in Control Center, and in the Dynamic Island. Playback pauses when headphones are disconnected.

Three simple steps

From link to listening.

  1. Add the audio

    Paste or share a direct link to an MP3 or other audio file, or choose a file from Files.

  2. Download once

    Listen Queue keeps the file on your device and reads its title, cover art, and chapters.

  3. Listen whenever

    Your place, speed, and bookmarks are ready the next time you open the app.

Plays well with your files

Common audio formats, one library.

MPA files play when they contain MP3 audio. Every download is checked before it is added, so a webpage or unsupported file is never mistaken for audio.

Privacy, plainly stated

Your audio is yours.

No account, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking. Listen Queue downloads the link you give it and keeps the audio, cover art, and your listening history on your device.
