Abobi

Turn a folder of audio files into one proper audiobook: a single M4B file with chapters, cover art and complete metadata.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store

Chapters without the tedious work

  • One chapter per file, or split a long recording at the pauses between chapters.
  • A chapter editor with a waveform: drag markers, listen to every boundary, undo changes.
  • Chapter names from the catalog for published audiobooks, matched by recording length, so another edition’s chapters are never applied.
  • Voice check: speech recognition running on your Mac listens for the narrator’s chapter announcements and confirms that the numbering matches.

Metadata and cover

  • Search Apple Books, Google Books and an audiobook catalog for title, author, narrator, publisher and cover.
  • Edit every field by hand and restore the original tags at any time.

Sound the way you want

  • AAC at the bitrate and channel layout you choose, with the file size estimated before you export.
  • Lossless ALAC for lossless sources, or no re-encoding at all when your files are already AAC or ALAC.
  • MP3
  • M4A
  • M4B
  • AAC
  • FLAC
  • WAV
  • AIFF
  • CAF

Private by design

  • Your recordings never leave your Mac. Only the title and author you search for are sent to the catalogs.
  • No account, no analytics, no tracking. Privacy policy
