Third-Party Apps
The following projects are not maintained by the Audiobookshelf team nor did any of the Audiobookshelf team member check them for security issues. Use at your own risk.
This is a community-curated list of Audiobookshelf-related apps and projects. If you know of an app to recommend for this list, please open a PR to add the app to this list. Please ensure the app is stable and relatively mature, because we have been seeing an increase of vibe-coded apps that are abandoned after a few weeks or months.
Another list of 3rd party apps can be found at ABS Toolbox - Clients, but that list is not actively maintained so some information will be out of date.
ABS is constantly changing, and the API is updated often. Many of these apps use endpoints that are not recommended anymore and could cause problems or in general produce unwanted behaviour, such as incorrect stats, negative or wrong listening sessions, wrong last online times, and getting around restrictions set by the server admin. If you notice any of these problems, please let the app developers know.
