Get Audible from the official download links

- Audible Cloud Player (sign in, then open Library) — Windows 11, Windows 10 and any computer with a current browser
- Audible: Audiobooks & Podcasts on the App Store — 341.9 MB · seller Audible, Inc., free; Mac, iPhone and iPad

How to install Audible on Windows 11 and 10 as a desktop app
Microsoft Edge can install any website as an app with its own window, Start menu entry and taskbar icon. Use it to turn the Cloud Player into an Audible app.
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to audible.com.
- Select Sign in and enter the email and password of your Amazon account.
- Select Settings and more (the three dots) in the top-right corner.
- Choose More tools > Apps > Install this site as an app.
- Confirm the name Audible and select Install.
- Tick Pin to taskbar or Pin to Start if Edge offers them.
- Select Library in the new Audible window, then Listen now next to a title.
In Chrome, open More > Cast, save, and share > Install page as app instead. Both browsers list the installed app under edge://apps or chrome://apps.
Which Audible download do you need for your Mac?
Audible’s help center names the App Store as the Mac install route. The listing is marked Designed for iPad, so the Mac runs the same app as your iPad.
| Your situation | What to do | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Audible appears when you search the App Store on your Mac | Install the Audible app | 341.9 MB |
| No Audible result in the Mac App Store | Use the Cloud Player in Safari | None |
| You want titles on an iPhone without Wi-Fi downloads | Sync from Finder (Audible help) | Title size |
To install, open the App Store, search for Audible, select Get, then Install. Sign in with your Apple ID if asked. The Mac app includes Audible Originals, Car Mode, Stats and Badges and your Listen history.
Is Audible free?
The Audible app and the Cloud Player are free. The audiobooks come with a paid membership that starts with a 30-day free trial. Audible Standard costs $8.99 a month and lets you pick one audiobook a month, which you can listen to while subscribed. Audible Premium costs $14.95 a month, gives one credit a month and lets you keep those audiobooks after you cancel. Both plans auto-renew after the trial. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged. The App Store marks the app Free with In-App Purchases.
Should you use the Cloud Player or AudibleSync on Windows?
Use the Cloud Player to listen on your PC. Install AudibleSync only to copy titles to an MP3 player or accessibility device. The Cloud Player streams your whole library in a browser and needs no software. AudibleSync is a Windows 10 and 11 app that downloads titles one at a time, but those files play only after you transfer them to a compatible device. Only titles bought with a credit or a credit card download to a computer.
Check what each Audible option can do
Pick the option that matches how you listen. The main split is streaming versus offline.
| Option | Where it runs | Offline listening | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Player | Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge on any computer | No, needs internet | Listening at a desk |
| Audible app for Mac | Mac through the App Store | Yes, download titles in the app | Mac users who want Car Mode and stats |
| Audible app for phones | iPhone, iPad and Android | Yes, one title at a time | Commutes, flights, workouts |
| AudibleSync | Windows 10 and 11 | Only on a connected MP3 or accessibility device | Dedicated audiobook players |
For offline listening on the go, download titles to the phone app. There is no bulk download option; each title downloads separately.
