Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now on iPad. 75,000 classics on the big screen — read them, or hear them read aloud.
Gutenberg puts one of the largest libraries ever assembled in your pocket. Over 75,000 public-domain classics — every novel, essay, play and poem that time has released — ready to read, to search, and to carry with you offline. And the ones you love most, you can hear read aloud, with the words lighting up on the page as the narrator speaks.
No account. No clutter. Just the whole library, beautifully made.
READ EVERYTHING
• 75,000+ complete books from Project Gutenberg — fiction, history, philosophy, poetry, drama and more.
• A clean, typeset reader that feels like paper, with a real page-curl turn or smooth vertical scrolling — your choice.
• Light, sepia and dark themes; adjustable typeface, text size and margins.
• Highlight passages, keep bookmarks, and jump anywhere with a full table of contents.
• Every book downloads for offline reading — on a plane, on the subway, anywhere.
LISTEN, IN SYNC
• A growing collection of read-along audiobooks: classics narrated aloud, aligned to the page.
• Words highlight as they're read, so you can read and listen at the same time — or just close your eyes and listen.
• Background playback, lock-screen controls, adjustable speed, and skip-forward / skip-back.
• Pick up exactly where you left off, whether you were reading or listening.
FIND ANYTHING
• Search 75,000+ titles by book or by author in an instant.
• Browse by subject — Literature, History, Science, Poetry and dozens more — each thousands of books deep.
• Sort by most downloaded, recently added, title, or reading ease.
• Explore curated shelves, popular authors, and picks based on what you're reading.
BUILT FOR READERS
• Warm, considered design that gets out of the way of the words.
• Set the app to Light, Dark, or follow your system.
• Fast, offline-first, and respectful of your attention.

Ratings & Reviews
Gutenberg is now on iPad. The whole library — 75,000+ public-domain classics, to read or to hear read aloud — on the bigger screen, in portrait or landscape.
NEW
• iPad support. Every book, every read-along audiobook and every offline download, now on the large screen.
