Sonaris plays the audiobooks already stored on your phone. There is no catalogue and no subscription: you pick the folder your books live in, and everything works offline, without an account.
Each subfolder is a book. Sonaris reads file tags, picks up embedded M4B chapters, and fetches a cover and description when one exists. Title, author, narrator, series and genre can be corrected by hand — a rescan never overwrites your edits.
Downloaded a book as an archive? Sonaris spots the ZIP in your folder and offers to unpack it — no file manager, straight into the library.
LISTENING
• Speed is set per book.
• After a pause the player rewinds a little, and the longer the pause, the further back it goes.
• Short and long seek, chapter navigation, bookmarks with labels.
• Every number is in your time: at 1.5× an hour of the book shows as forty minutes, because that is how long you will sit with it.
SLEEP TIMER
• Until the end of the chapter, or for a set time.
• Thirty seconds before the end the volume fades out.
WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
• Listening history with a tap back into that exact spot.
• Shelves for in progress, not started, finished and abandoned books.
• A queue, and automatic continuation of a series.
WITHIN REACH
• A widget in four sizes with cover, progress and play controls.
• Playback controls in the notification, on your headset and on your watch.
• The cover’s colour tints the player and the widget.
SONARIS PLUS
Everything above is free. Sonaris Plus is a one-time purchase that adds:
• Equalizer with a voice preset, pitch, bass boost and silence skipping — per book.
• Smart sleep timer: starts by itself in your evening hours, a shake keeps the book playing, and after the timer it rewinds to what you might have slept through.
• Listening statistics by day, month and book.
• Colour palettes and a blurred cover background.
• Your own actions for headset presses, notification and widget buttons — including a spoken “time left”.
• Your own rewind-after-pause thresholds.
• Automatic backups to a folder you choose.
Try every Plus feature free for 7 days before you decide. No subscription — pay once, keep it.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Sonaris has no accounts and sends nothing about you anywhere. Progress, bookmarks and statistics stay on the device. The app goes online only when you search for a book cover or description yourself, and checks your Plus purchase with Google Play.
A backup is a single file holding progress, bookmarks, history and settings, saved to a folder you choose.
WHAT YOU NEED
MP3, M4A, M4B, Opus or Ogg files in phone storage or on a memory card. ZIP archives are unpacked by the app itself. The app ships no books — it plays yours.
