Lull: Books Pods & Night Noise

A mini player everywhere, one search for everything, and smarter list... • Mini player. Your book or episode now rides along on every tab: play, skip back and forward, and tap to open the full player. While a sleep timer runs, it shows the countdown. • Volume Leveling. Loud mid-episode ads come down fast; quiet voices come up gently. One steady volume all night. Flip it right from the player. • Search everything. One search across all your books (every source), your shows, and their episodes. Type once, play anything. • Smart Playlists by author. Pick one or more authors and the list pulls every matching book across Audiobookshelf, Plex, and your imported files. The editor got a full redesign, and your lists (including edits and deletes) now sync across devices. • Book descriptions. Audiobooks from Plex and Audiobookshelf now show their synopsis on the detail screen. • Next in series. Finish book 2 and a quiet card offers book 3. A suggestion, never an autoplay. • Storage, visible. Downloads now show their size per item and in total, with one-tap Delete All. • Catch up fast. Mark All Played (or "Mark Played up to Here") on any show, search inside a show's episode list, and export your subscriptions as OPML. Your shows are never locked in. • Suggested shows. Ideas pulled from the categories you already follow. Computed on your device; nobody sees your list. • Per-show speed. Your news show at 1.5x, your sleep stories at 1x, remembered automatically. Plus new 1.1x and 1.2x steps. • Stream over Wi-Fi only at night. Optional: if the next episode is not downloaded and you are on cellular, sleep sounds take over instead of streaming. • Sleep Insights, retold. A "Your week" story card, your drift-off patterns, and richer night details. • Podcasts polish. Shows sort by Recently Updated (or name, new episodes, date added), an A-to-Z fast scroll for big collections, and autoplay-next now on by default with a per-show switch. • A calmer Continue tab. Your in-progress books open the screen; favorites and playlists (now one shelf) scroll below them. • Select multiple episodes. Pick a handful in any show and mark, queue, download, or add them to a playlist together. • Listening History is tappable. Any entry opens its book or episode. • Works with ABS Admin. Our free companion app manages your Audiobookshelf server; books hand off between the two apps in one tap. • Cover changes on your Audiobookshelf server now show up in Lull right away. New in Premium: • Adapt to the room. The mic meters the room's noise level while your sounds play: a snoring partner or a loud street makes the sounds rise just enough to cover it, then settle back to exactly your set volume. Levels only, nothing is ever recorded, and a Preview button lets you hear the boost. • Morning Catch-Up. One tap on the morning recap replays the last few minutes you heard before drifting off, slightly sped up, then settles back to normal. • Wind-Down Routine. One tap, "Hey Siri, start my wind down", or your bedtime reminder resumes your book, loads your sound mix, and sets up the whole night. • Night Report. Your last 30 nights on one calm page: sleep averages, bedtime steadiness, and what you actually drift off to. Share it as a PDF or keep it. Fixes you'll feel: • A book ending at night always hands off to your sleep sounds now, with or without sleep detection. Never silence at 2 AM. • Bringing the book back at night is more forgiving: the confirm window for the headset button is longer, and a quick double-press always counts. • The app icon no longer shows a thin white edge on the Home Screen. • The pure-black night theme now covers every screen, including search and playlists. • Sharper VoiceOver support across the new screens. Thanks for listening with Lull. Sleep well.

Your Audiobookshelf podcasts, smarter nights, and a sleep tracker that owns up to its numbers. FOR YOUR AUDIOBOOKSHELF • Podcasts from your Audiobookshelf server. The shows your server downloads now play in Lull, archived episodes included, streaming straight from your own box. Played marks and progress sync back to the server, so Lull, the ABS web app, and every other client finally agree. • One podcast home. New All / Followed / ABS chips on the Podcasts tab. Your server shows get the full show screen: sort, filters, unplayed dots, episode search, and a now-playing indicator on the episode that's rolling. • Episodes roll like chapters. An episode ending mid-show continues to the next, honoring each show's sort order. And if you fall asleep mid-binge, detection rewinds you back across every episode that rolled, to the spot where you actually drifted off. • Go to Show. Jump from Now Playing straight to the show's page. Mark episodes played or unplayed from anywhere, including the player. FOR YOUR NIGHTS • Caught naps, even after the fact. If a nap slipped past live detection, Insights now spots it afterward from your heart rate and your listening trail, and asks before counting it. One tap resumes right where you drifted off. • A readiness score each morning. How recovered you look against your own baselines: last night's sleep, overnight HRV, and heart-rate dip. A wellness guide for pacing your day, never a medical claim. • Nights without the setup. No Apple sleep schedule? Lull can now build your night from its own evidence: when it caught you drifting off and when you picked your audio back up. • Insights, reorganized. Your morning at the top, your last 14 nights right below it, one clear wellness note instead of a disclaimer under every card. • Honest numbers for messy nights. A fragmented night now shows when you first fell asleep AND when sleep got solid, counts the wakes between, and reports real efficiency instead of an impossible 100%. • Sleep detection that can't lose a catch. If your watch freezes or drops the connection mid-night, the drift-off is saved and delivered late, your iPhone takes over watching, and an unattended episode marathon stops at the next episode instead of playing until dawn. AND EVERYWHERE ELSE • CarPlay, completed. Real previous and next buttons on the car screen (chapters for books, episodes for podcasts), and your server shows in the car's podcast list. • Lighter on your battery overnight: about half the network traffic while you sleep, and a quieter diagnostic log. Thanks for listening with Lull. Sleep well.

Built for the plane. Your library now works with no signal at all. And a thank-you: most of Premium is now free. • Free for everyone, starting now: Sleep Insights, night recordings, adaptive night mixing, importing your own sleep sounds, and the wake-into-your-book alarm. (Insights shows your drift-offs and naps on any iPhone; an Apple Watch adds sleep stages and a readiness score.) Premium is now simply the Apple Watch experience: sleep detection, smart nap, the silent wrist wake-up, and listening on your watch. • Your Audiobookshelf library is there when you're offline. Books, podcasts and shows all browse normally with no connection, instead of vanishing until you found the Downloads page. • Downloaded books and episodes play straight from the library, right where you expect them. • Episodes roll on to the next one offline. No more silence at the end of an episode on a flight, and no more building a playlist to work around it. • Followed RSS shows get the same treatment: they browse and roll with no signal. • Downloads are manageable at last. Episodes group under their show, so forty episodes for a trip are one tidy row. Tap Select, tap a show to take the whole thing, and delete the lot at once. The button tells you exactly how much space you're getting back. • Optional heads-up when your Audiobookshelf server gets something new: a new episode, a show you just added, or a new book landing in your library. Off by default, never during your night hours, and it only checks when your server is actually reachable. • New content is found faster all round. Also in this update • Naps save to Apple Health only once they're certain. Clear daytime naps save a couple of hours after they end; anything borderline asks you first with a card instead of writing on its own. A one-time cleanup quietly removes any stray sleep entries earlier versions wrote. • A caught nap can't be lost anymore. Even if the app closes between your wake and the save, the nap is remembered and saved on the next open. • Nap lengths are exact now. The end of a nap is the moment your sounds stopped, never a guess from when you next pressed play. • Sleep your watch recorded but couldn't score no longer counts as time awake, so a broken night reads honestly. • Listening History is tappable. Tap any entry to jump back to that exact spot (paused, so nothing blares) or go straight to the show. • Tap the artwork on Now Playing to open the chapter or episode list, same as the title. • A quiet Notes pill under the title shows episode notes for a podcast or the synopsis for a book, when there are notes to show. • Milestones actually appear now. They used to unlock silently while you slept; now they wait and greet you on the morning card. Plus new milestone tiers up to two years of nights. • Settings reads cleaner: short descriptions, with the deep explanations one tap away under How Detection Works and About. Thanks for listening with Lull. Sleep well.
