About

Sippur is a quiet place to read. Every day, Sippur gives you one short story — a single, carefully chosen piece of public-domain literature, and nothing more. No feed to scroll. No badge demanding your attention. No ads, no accounts, no algorithm learning how to keep you hooked. You read today's story, or you don't. It will keep. The library holds 230 timeless works: the fables of Aesop, the wit of Chekhov and Maupassant, the moral clarity of Tolstoy, the quiet strangeness of Kafka, ghost stories and folk tales, philosophical parables, and short masterpieces from traditions around the world — every one in the public domain, free to read forever. READ IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, OR HEBREW Every story is offered in all three languages — Spanish in a warm, neutral literary register, and Hebrew with a true right-to-left reading mode and a typeface chosen for it. Switch whenever you like. CHOOSE YOUR PACE Some days you want a two-minute fable; some days a longer classic. A simple Short / Mid / Long setting decides how much time today's story should ask of you — from quick reads under five minutes to fuller works up to twenty. MADE FOR CALM READING • One story a day — a small literary pause, not another feed • 230 public-domain stories, each in English, Spanish, and Hebrew • Short, Mid, or Long — from two-minute fables to twenty-minute classics • An optional, gentle daily reminder at a time you choose • Light and dark themes, adjustable text size • Share a story, or turn a favorite line into a quote card • Works fully offline PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sippur collects nothing. There are no accounts and no analytics. Everything it remembers — your history, your preferences — stays on your device and never reaches us. One story a day. Nothing more.

1.1

September 3, 2026

Sippur now speaks Spanish — every story in the library is readable in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, with full Hebrew coverage completed too. The library grows to 230 stories with new works by Joyce, Woolf, Twain, Kipling, Melville, and Cather. For three classic Chekhov stories we now carry the beloved 1920 Spanish translations by Nicolás Tasín and Saturnino Ximénez.
