About this app

Voice is a clean audiobook player for people who bring their own books.

Add your audiobook folder once, and Voice turns your local audio files into a simple library. It remembers your position for every book, keeps playback controls close, and stays out of the way.

Made for audiobooks

• Continue exactly where you stopped • Sleep timer with gentle fade-out • Stop at the end of the current chapter • Shake to extend the timer • Playback speed control • Volume boost for quiet recordings • Skip silence • Auto-rewind after longer pauses • Bookmarks with timestamps and custom names • Search by title and author • Current, completed, and not started filters • List and grid views • Cover art from embedded images, local files, or online search • Home screen widget, media notification, and Android Auto support

Bring your own files

Voice works with DRM-free audiobook files such as M4B, MP3, M4A, OGG, OGA, and OPUS. Keep your books in folders the way you like; Voice recognizes them and organizes your library.

No clutter

• No account required • No ads • No forced cloud sync • All features are available without paid upgrades

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be de.ph1b.audiobook is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 26.5.3 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Voice Audiobook Player first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Voice Audiobook Player, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
