Audiobooks from your Google Drive

Keep your audiobooks in Google Drive and listen on your phone without copying them over first. Nightjar works with your own Google account and plays only the files you choose.

How it works

Add Google Drive in Nightjar’s Sources and sign in with Google. Then choose your books in Google’s own file picker: Nightjar can open only the files you picked, not the rest of your Drive. Pick all the files of one book together and Nightjar turns them into a single book.

Starts in seconds, even for long books

Playback begins as soon as the first piece of the book arrives, whether it runs one hour or twenty. Jumping back or skipping ahead fetches just that spot, and what you have already heard stays on the phone — you never wait for a full download.

Offline for the flight

Download a book from its menu to listen without a connection. Remove the download later and the book stays in your library, streaming again when you play it.

Built for long listens

Chapters and bookmarks, playback speed, a sleep timer that can stop at the end of the chapter, and a remembered position in every book — with lock-screen and headphone controls.

Your account stays yours

The Google sign-in is kept in your device’s secure storage, and books go straight from Google Drive to your phone. Nightjar runs no server and never sees your library.

Part of Nightjar Pro

Cloud and network sources are part of Nightjar Pro: a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a 7-day trial. Playing files from the phone itself, every way of importing them and Wi-Fi transfer are free.
