In one line

NightChapter is an audiobook player for falling asleep that shows you, the next morning, exactly where you drifted off.

In a paragraph

Most people who fall asleep to audiobooks know the morning routine: scrub back, listen, scrub again, guess. NightChapter fixes that. Its sleep timer fades the book out gently, and Find my spot lays last night out on one timeline with a short note for every half minute you heard, so you can read down to the last part you remember and resume right there. It plays books from Plex, Audiobookshelf, your own files and LibriVox, keeps all audio on the device, and is free, with a one-time NightChapter Plus unlock instead of a subscription.

Key features

Find my spot

Last night on one timeline: every play, skip, pause and the moment the sleep timer ran out, plus when Apple Health says you fell asleep.

Moments

A one-line note for every half minute you heard, transcribed on the device, so you can read down to where it stops sounding familiar.

A gentle sleep timer

Fades the book out slowly, starts itself at night if you like, and a shake adds time. Smart Snooze learns how long you take to fall asleep.

Made for the dark

Extra dim, sleep sounds that rise as the book fades, night levelling for loud passages, and three dark themes.

Your own library

Plex, Audiobookshelf, files from the Files app and free LibriVox classics. Stream or download for offline nights.

Private by design

Transcription runs on the device. Summaries come from Apple Intelligence, or from OpenAI or Claude only with the listener's own key, and only as text.
