Libation is a free, open-source desktop application for downloading, decrypting (DRM removal), and managing your Audible audiobook library. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, offers a GUI (two variants) plus a CLI and Docker image, and can auto-upload liberated books to an Audiobookshelf server.
Use cases
- remove drm from my audible audiobooks
- download my audible library as m4b files
- back up audiobooks I own so I can listen in any player
- bulk download audible books with cover art and accompanying pdfs
- automatically upload liberated audiobooks to audiobookshelf
- organize and search my audiobook collection with tags and filters
- run audible downloads headlessly in docker on a schedule
When to choose
- you have an Audible account and want permanent, DRM-free copies of books you purchased
- you want a cross-platform GUI with library search, tagging, and saved filters
- you self-host Audiobookshelf and want automatic ingestion of new books
- you need scripted/headless downloads via the CLI or Docker
When to avoid
- you want to bypass DRM on audiobooks you did not purchase or access accounts you are not authorized to use
- you need a polished, professionally designed UI or guaranteed timely support (single-developer project)
- you need Dolby Atmos / spatial audio downloads, which are not supported
- you want a lightweight tool - the app has a large footprint
