CLUSTER AUDIOBOOKSHELF-CLIENT-PLAYBACK · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-26

Audiobookshelf client apps

This cluster consists of client applications for Audiobookshelf, a self-hosted server for audiobooks and podcasts, providing streaming, downloads, playback controls, and server administration. The dated entries before the index show sparse early appearances from 2014 and 2016, followed by a single entry in 2025 and a modest increase to two entries in mid-2026. All traction leaders (Fable Frog, Audiolibrix, and Storii) report 0 stars, indicating minimal user adoption so far.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
