audav

audav is a multimedia application developed by mm-dev, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.0 weighing in at 27.4 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
2. File size is a light 27.4 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
3. This build is signed by "mm-dev" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

For when you manage your own audiobooks and just want a clean, non-invasive way to listen across devices.

Usage scenario

You have a collection of audiobooks stored on NextCloud/WebDAV.

You want to:

• Listen on multiple devices (phone/tablet/desktop)
• See how much of a book you've listened to

You don't want to:

• Lose your place
• Install complex server apps

Features

Progress map

See which parts of a book you’ve listened to

• Great for dense/non-fiction books where you jump between chapters
• Visualize each chapter as a series of blocks showing played/unplayed segments
• Tap an unplayed segment to play it

Detailed bookmarks

Take notes while listening and jump back to any point easily

• Notes are searchable

Themes

Match your own vibe

• Light/dark modes
• Multiple colour schemes
• Adjust book cover styles, from fully decorative to plain text

Metadata display

Know what you're listening to

• Display details from .txt/.nfo files, audio streams, and embedded metadata

Unix-style philosophy goals

Tread lightly. Stay in your lane.

• Don't manage users or files --- NextCloud/WebDAV already does this
• Never write outside the working folder:
  {YOUR_AUDIOBOOKS_FOLDER}/.audav_audiobook_listener/
  To remove the app from the server just delete the folder

Requirements

• A WebDAV server + login details
• On that server, a folder of audiobooks (organise subfolders however you like)
• A device with auDAV for listening on

Install and setup

1. Install and open auDAV

Install on the Android device you want to listen from

2. Enter your WebDAV settings

Tap menu button twice to change settings:

Beware typos! Some providers throttle connections for a few hours if you repeatedly try to log in with bad credentials

• Server URL: Find in NextCloud under Files Settings - WebDAV - WebDAV URL
• WebDAV Username + Password: Will be encrypted and stored only on your device
• Audiobooks folder: Path (relative to Server URL) to your audiobooks folder

3. Scan your server

Go back to the main page. The app will scan your server for books. This may take a while depending on number of books and internet/server speeds.

4. Start listening

After the scan, you will see a list of your books --- tap a book to open it and start playing.

Tips/FAQ

Tap menu button twice for settings

First tap opens the theme chooser. Second tap opens the settings page.

Seeking is slow!

For very long seeks in large audiobook chapters, you might experience a significant wait (over a minute) while the player buffers data, during which the interface may show little progress.

Please be patient, as the seek will eventually succeed unless an error appears; this is a known, rare technical limitation for very large files. Compressing the audiobook might help.

Re-Scan when you add or move books

If you add new books to your server or rearrange them into different folders, open the app and press the 'Re-scan library' button.

Is audav free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does audav require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is audav safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by mm-dev. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update audav?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.

1. Tap the Download APK button above and save the file to your device.
2. Open your device Settings → Security (or Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps) and allow your file manager or browser to install unknown apps for this one file only.
3. Open the downloaded rocks.mm_dev.audav.apk file from your Downloads folder.
4. Tap Install and wait for Android to finish.
5. Open «audav» by mm-dev and grant only the permissions it actually needs.
6. Revoke the "unknown sources" permission once you are done installing.
