AI player for your self-hosted library
Your library. Mixed by AI.
Sonivora plays music, audiobooks and podcasts from your own server, with Plex or Jellyfin. The AI knows your collection: it puts mixes together, orders tracks for the best flow and finds what you want to hear next.
Closed beta. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
Real screens from the app. The sample library is made of public-domain works; the covers are details of public-domain paintings.
An AI that knows your collection. A player that steps back so the covers can shine.
An AI that knows your library.
It does not listen for you. It helps you hear again what you already have.
AI DJ
Say what you feel like. The AI DJ searches your music, audiobooks and podcasts, starts a mix and saves it as a playlist.
AI Shuffle
Orders an album, a playlist or the queue for the best flow, and mixes in fitting new tracks.
A memory
Learns from skipped tracks, ratings and what you tell the DJ. Long-term taste, current focus and the season.
Picks for you
Audiobook picks, new releases and discoveries beyond your library, each with a cover and a short reason.
Two ways to the AI: Sonivora AI for CHF 3 a month or CHF 30 a year, with the latest models from Anthropic and no key of your own, or your own key from Anthropic or OpenAI, and you pay them for what you use. Without AI, everything else works as usual.
AI everywhere
Not a chat on the side. AI in every corner.
The AI works where you listen: on Home, in albums, in audiobooks and in podcasts.
Talk about episodes
The AI summarises a podcast episode and talks with you about it, based on the transcript, with timestamps to jump to.
What it’s about
Book summaries without spoilers, plus author portraits with a short biography. Researched once, then stored.
New releases
Once a week the AI searches the web for new albums and audiobooks by your artists and authors.
Podcast picks
New shows that fit your subscriptions, your ratings and even your music, fresh every day.
Hit and For you
In albums, the AI marks the hits and the tracks for you, and suggests similar albums, artists and audiobooks.
Endless mode
When a DJ mix nears its end, the AI extends it on its own.
A quick tour
Everything you listen to. In one place.
Your library, in order.
Music, audiobooks and podcasts side by side, as a list or as covers. Favourite songs, artists, albums, tracks and genres are a tap away.
The cover sets the colour.
Detail pages take their colour from the cover while everything else stays calm. Play, shuffle or AI Shuffle: one tap.
A player that makes room for the sound.
A sharp cover, swipe to change tracks, a queue and sound details with explanations. You always see where the sound goes: headphones, car, Bluetooth or AirPlay.
Three ways to listen
Music, audiobooks, podcasts.
Each gets what it needs, and all of them share one player.
Music
Your music, the way it should sound.
Sonivora plays your library straight from your server, Plex or Jellyfin, in original quality or converted to save space, as you prefer.
- AI Shuffle orders albums and playlists for the best flow, and the AI DJ builds mixes from your library
- Volume levelling across all albums, based on the Plex loudness analysis
- The next tracks load ahead of time for nearly gapless transitions
- Sound details with explanations: format, bitrate, sample rate
- Mixes in progress can be saved as playlists
Audiobooks
Audiobooks that know where you were.
The progress of every book is synced with Plex, and your listening position also through iCloud: on every device you pick up where you were last.
- “What it’s about”: the AI summarises a book without spoilers and picks audiobooks for you
- Chapters, speed and a sleep timer that fades out gently; shake to extend it
- Smart Resume: after a pause, playback picks up at the start of the sentence
- Bookmarks with notes, and “Mark as played”
- Author pages with portrait and a short biography
Podcasts
Podcasts, without a second app.
Search and trends from the Podcast Index, subscriptions by RSS. For podcasts alone you do not even need Plex.
- The AI summarises episodes, talks with you about them and finds new shows for you
- A bell tells you about new episodes, also in the background
- Chapters and transcripts when the show provides them
- “Up next”, continue listening and downloads of single episodes
- Search episodes, release rhythm and star ratings
Wherever you listen
In the living room, on your wrist, on the road.
Sonos

Apple Watch
Send albums, playlists and podcast episodes to your watch.
Offline
Download albums, playlists, audiobooks, favourite songs and single episodes. Downloads over cellular can be turned off.

Stats
Your listening time, with levels.
Listening time, top artists and songs, quests, a league, badges and records, separately for music, audiobooks and podcasts. In December, your year in review arrives.
Privacy
Your library stays yours.
Sonivora talks to your server, not to ours. We keep no account about you and do not store what you listen to.

Credentials in the Keychain
Your Plex access and your AI key are stored encrypted on your iPhone.
AI without logs
With Sonivora AI, our relay passes your requests on to Anthropic without storing them. With your own key, they go straight to the provider.
iCloud just for you
The backup lives in your private iCloud space, which we cannot see.
Crash reports stay on your iPhone
Sonivora keeps them on your device. Whether you share one is up to you.
Two things run through small relays of ours on Cloudflare, so that no key sits inside the app: podcast search and trends, and Sonivora AI if you use it. Neither keeps logs or stores anything about what you listen to. Read the privacy policy
Questions.
When is Sonivora coming?
Sonivora is in a closed beta right now. It is coming to the App Store soon, with Android to follow on Google Play. You can request a beta spot by email.
What does self-hosted mean?
Your music, audiobooks and podcasts live on your own server, such as a NAS or a Mac, and Plex or Jellyfin serves them. Sonivora plays them from there; none of it is stored with us.
What do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 26 or later and a Plex or Jellyfin server with your music and audiobooks. For podcasts alone you need no server. For the AI, Sonivora AI or your own key; Sonos and an Apple Watch are optional.
Does Sonivora work without a server?
Yes, for podcasts. If you skip signing in, Sonivora shows only podcasts. For music and audiobooks you need a Plex or Jellyfin server.
What does the AI cost?
Sonivora AI costs CHF 3 a month or CHF 30 a year, through the App Store and cancellable at any time; in other currencies the App Store shows a matching price. It covers normal listening well; with a very large number of requests, the AI pauses until next month.
With your own key you pay your provider directly for what you use; Sonivora counts your usage and estimates the cost. Without AI, everything else works as usual.
Which AI providers work?
Sonivora AI runs on the latest models from Anthropic. With your own key, Anthropic and OpenAI work; the key stays in your iPhone’s Keychain and takes priority over the subscription.
Can I listen offline?
Yes. Download albums, playlists, audiobooks, favourite songs and single episodes. You decide whether downloads use cellular data.
Does Sonos work?
Yes. Sonivora finds your rooms on your home network, groups them and hands playback straight from your server to the speakers.
Is there Sonivora for iPad, Mac or Android?
Sonivora is made for iPhone, with an app for Apple Watch. Android is coming soon on Google Play.
Where does the content in the screenshots come from?
From a sample library of public-domain works, by Bach, Chopin, Debussy, Spyri and Kafka among others. The covers are details of public-domain paintings, the podcasts are invented. The sources are listed in the image credits.
Listen closer.
Sonivora is in closed beta and coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
