Description
The Tao Te Ching is among the most translated texts in human
history, and one of the most worth returning to. This app is a
quiet place to read it.
—
Eighty-one chapters. Every one of them free.
Built around the James Legge (1891) and Paul Carus (1913)
translations — both in the public domain, carefully cleaned, and
typeset for slow reading. No paywall on the text itself, ever.
—
Audio narration
The first two chapters are free. A single one-time purchase
unlocks audio narration for every chapter — yours forever, no
subscriptions, no ads, no tracking. Use it on a walk, in the
evening, or as a companion to the printed text.
—
A practice, not just a library
Long-press any passage to save a reflection — a short note
attached to the line that moved you.
Bookmark any chapter to return to.
Everything you write lives on your device.
A daily-verse widget surfaces a chapter on your home screen,
gently.
