What is Bloox?
Bloox turns your audiobooks into an intelligent listening experience — with on-device AI transcription, smart summaries, character tracking, and a privacy-first design that works entirely offline.
READ ALONG AS YOU LISTEN Bloox transcribes your audiobooks in real time using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Follow along with synchronized captions — sentence by sentence or word by word, karaoke-style. Tap any line to jump to that moment. Your audio never leaves your phone.
"WHAT DID I MISS?" Fell asleep or got distracted? Tap the sparkles button for an AI-generated summary of what you missed — key events, bullet points, and a "where we are now" recap. Powered entirely by on-device AI.
KNOW EVERY CHARACTER Lost track of who's who? Bloox uses on-device AI to identify characters — with descriptions, aliases, and chapter-by-chapter tracking. Tap the characters button to see everyone in the current chapter at a glance.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Every listening session is tracked with an AI summary of what happened. Coming back after a break? Review your last session to jump right back into the story. Smart rewind backs up automatically when you resume.
PRIVATE. OFFLINE. YOURS. No account required. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. Google Drive import is optional and only touches files you choose. AI features run entirely on-device — nothing is ever sent to a server.
IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE • Google Drive with folder navigation, search, and shortcut support • Local M4B and MP3 files from your device • Automatic metadata extraction and cover art from Google Books
COMPLETE PLAYBACK • Adjustable speed (0.5x–2.0x) • Configurable skip intervals (15–60 seconds) • Chapter navigation with full chapter list • Lock Screen, Control Center, and Siri integration • Sleep timer with presets, custom duration, and end-of-chapter mode • Home screen widget for quick library access
CHAPTERS DONE RIGHT Reads embedded M4B chapters, CUE files, and multi-file books. For books without chapter data, generates smart simulated chapters at your preferred length.
DESIGNED FOR iOS Built with SwiftUI. Works on iPhone and iPad. Your library is fully offline — no internet required to listen, navigate, or read transcriptions.
