A warmly lit cottage beneath an amber evening sky, surrounded by quiet mountains.
Comforted: one of the six evening moods in Nodbooks.

A new place for your evening story

Nodbooks is live on the App Store, available for iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad. It brings together twelve enduring classics, six evening moods and four AI-generated narrator voices in an app made for bedtime listening.

The idea is simple: choose how tonight feels, settle into a book and come back to your saved place when you are ready. There is no listener account to create and no subscription to manage.

Why Nodbooks exists

An evening story can begin with a familiar place: a riverbank, a warm house or a journey you have been meaning to take. Nodbooks puts a small, considered shelf within reach, with the controls you need to make the reading your own.

“I built Nodbooks to make the end of the day feel a little quieter: a good book, a voice you enjoy, and your place remembered for tomorrow.”

— Mike Parsons, founder of Nodbooks

Begin with a free classic

The Wind in the Willows is free forever, with all four voices. Start with Kenneth Grahame’s riverbank world and take your time finding the narrator and reading pace you enjoy.

You can also preview each of the other eleven classics. One optional Complete Collection purchase unlocks the rest of the shelf. The price is shown in the app before you buy.

Make it your kind of evening

Browse Calm, Comforted, Dreamy, Nostalgic, Curious and Adventurous. Choose a voice, adjust the playback speed and set a sleep timer or stop at the end of a chapter. Your listening progress and preferences stay on your device.

Books can be downloaded for offline listening, too. Let your chosen download finish while connected before relying on it away from Wi-Fi.

Nodbooks is ready when you are. Download the app, try the free book and find a story you would like to return to tomorrow.
