## What is Tao Te Ching?

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.

—

What the app does not do

• No advertising.
• No infinite scroll, no streaks, no nags.
• No data shared with third parties beyond what's needed to
verify your purchase and gauge basic feature usage.
• No subscription. Buy once, own it.
