About BookSonic

BookSonic is a self-hosted audiobook server with an Android client. Its homepage says development is on hold indefinitely, and it recommends Audiobookshelf as an alternative. The server works with Subsonic-compatible apps, and the homepage says most of its functionality is also available on other platforms that have Subsonic apps.

The homepage says the project is fully open source and that the code is on GitHub. It also states that the Android app can be obtained from Google Play or built from source.
