I switched from iPhone to Android after 15 years and couldn't find an audiobook player I actually liked. The main options felt dated or were missing things I cared about, like proper collections and clean design. So I built my own.

Earleaf plays locally stored audiobooks. No accounts, no cloud, no ads, just a one-time purchase on the Play Store. The feature I'm most proud of is Page Sync. I go back and forth between reading physical books and listening, and I was tired of scrubbing around trying to find my place. Now I just take a photo of the page and the app figures out where that is in the audio. Check out this YouTube Short that demonstrates the feature!

Hey, I'm Andreas, and I'm a software engineer from Sweden. I recently built Earleaf, an audiobook player for Android, as my first Android app. The standout feature is Page Sync: photograph a book page and it finds that spot in the audio using on-device speech recognition and OCR. Launching on Product Hunt tomorrow!

Feel free to read more on the blog or check the app out on Google Play!

Hey!

I'm launching Earleaf tomorrow an audiobook player for Android built for local files. The feature I'm most excited about is Page Sync: you take a picture of a page from your physical book (or e-book) and the app jumps to that position in the audio.
