How it works

From a title in your head to a book in your hand.

Three taps, no sign-up, nothing to figure out.

🔎

Search one place

Type a title or author and Quillstone searches all three libraries at once, ebooks and audiobooks side by side.

⬇️

Tap once

Pick a book and it downloads straight into your library — the ebook ready to read, the audiobook ready to play.

📖

Read or listen

Open it in the calm Quillstone reader, or press play and listen on the lock screen, in Control Center, and in CarPlay.

Where the books come from

Three trusted libraries, one search.

Every title comes from a respected public-domain collection — no piracy, no grey areas.

📚

Project Gutenberg

More than 75,000 free ebooks — the classics and then some, hand-checked and in the public domain.

Standard Ebooks

The same public-domain works, lovingly re-typeset by volunteers so they read as beautifully as a new edition.

🎧

LibriVox

Thousands of free audiobooks, read aloud by volunteers. Whole novels, chapter by chapter, ready to play.

⚖️

Free and legal, by design

Discover only ever shows public-domain works — books whose copyright has expired. No DRM, no lending limits, no contested catalogs. What you download is yours to keep, read, and listen to, on every device.

🔒

Private like the rest of Quillstone

There's no account and nothing to track. Your downloads live in your own library, and optional end-to-end-encrypted iCloud sync keeps it with you across your devices — readable only by you.

One calm home for what you read and hear

Discover sits alongside the rest of Quillstone: The Early Bird, your roughly fifteen-minute morning news briefing corroborated across newsrooms; a clean reader for the EPUBs and audiobooks you already own; chapter navigation, adjustable speed, a sleep timer, and CarPlay. Trusted news in the morning, free books for the rest of the day — in one private, offline-first app.

Start your free library.

Thousands of classics, ready to read and ready to listen on your iPhone.
