Audible on Linux, done properly

Audible has never shipped a Linux desktop app, and the web player only streams. AudiblePort is a native desktop app that runs on Linux just as well as on Windows or macOS: download your library, listen, and convert to MP3 or M4B.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Download the AppImage

    Get the Linux build, make it executable (chmod +x) and run it. On Arch, install audibleport-bin from the AUR.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Audible

    Your library syncs inside the app.

  3. 3

    Download and convert

    Download books for free and convert them to MP3 or M4B locally.

A real Linux app, not a wrapper around a script

AudiblePort ships as an AppImage that runs on most modern x86_64 distributions, and Arch users can install it from the AUR as audibleport-bin. It has the same features as the Windows and macOS versions — no second-class port.

  • AppImage for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Mint and more
  • AUR package: audibleport-bin
  • Same features as Windows and macOS
  • Self-updates from signed releases

Great with Linux audio setups

Once your books are MP3 or M4B, they work with everything in the Linux world: Cozy, VLC, mpv, Lollypop, or a self-hosted Audiobookshelf, Jellyfin or Plex server on your home lab.
