auditui

A terminal-based user interface (TUI) client for Audible, written in Python 3.

Listen to your audiobooks or podcasts, browse your library, and more.

What it does and where are we

The project offers a TUI interface for browsing your Audible library, listing your books with progress information. You can sort by progress or title, show all books, or show only unfinished books which is the default.

You can also play a book by pressing Enter on a book in the list, and pause/resume the playback by pressing Space. Left and Right let you move 30 seconds backward/forward.

Currently, the only available theme is Catppuccin Mocha, following their style guide, as it's my preferred theme across most of my tools.

Look at the roadmap for more details.

It's still a work in progress, so expect bugs and missing features.

How to run

This project uses uv for dependency management.

# install dependencies (creates .venv)
$ uv sync

# run the TUI
$ uv run main.py

(stats.py is a playground for the stats functionality)

Please also note that as of now, you need to have ffmpeg installed to play audio files.
