Tap the plus on Now and search for it, or type the title yourself. You can also share a book to Earshelf straight from Audible, Libby, Spotify or Apple Books, and Earshelf files it the next time you open it.
Earshelf doesn't play audiobooks, so it counts the listening you log. Tap +15 min or +30 min on Now, use the widget or ask Siri to log listening time in Earshelf. To catch up in one go, tap Update and type the time left your player shows. Earshelf works out the rest at your speed.
Libby, Spotify, Audible and Everand don't let other apps read their catalogs. Earshelf shows what you have recorded, links straight to a search on each service, and reads prices from Apple Books. A book you share from one of those apps is marked as available there.
With Earshelf Pro, Earshelf checks Apple Books prices for the books on your Want to listen shelf in the background and tells you when one reaches its lowest price so far or the target you set on the book's page.
Earshelf reminds you two days before a library loan is due, a week before an Audible credit expires, two weeks before a library card runs out, and on the day you're likely to finish a book. Titles stay off the Lock Screen unless you turn on Show titles in notifications in Settings.
Earshelf keeps your library in your own iCloud account, so it matches on your iPhone and iPad. You can turn this off in Settings, and the change applies the next time Earshelf opens.
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Select Earshelf Pro or Earshelf Patron to manage or cancel it. When it ends you keep everything you've logged, and you can still export it. Price alerts stop and the full statistics close until you subscribe again.
In Earshelf, open Settings and tap "Delete all data". Read the confirmation before continuing. Deletion cannot be undone.
