They were buried for 1,600 years. Now they fit in your pocket.
December 1945 — Nag Hammadi, Egypt. A farmer digging at the base of a cliff struck a sealed clay jar holding thirteen leather-bound books: gospels left out of the Bible and condemned as heresy, hidden away and lost for sixteen centuries. The Gnostic Library puts the recovered texts on your phone — complete, honest, and yours forever.

✦ READ THEM LIKE A BOOK
Every passage opens like a printed page: a headline, a drop capital, its reading time, and numbering you can cite (Saying 77, BG 8,15). Parchment by day, candlelight by night, adjustable type, and search across every text at once.
✦ LISTEN LIKE AN AUDIOBOOK
With All Access the library reads itself to you. Tap Listen and it turns the page and reads on to the end of the book, in any voice on your phone. Four speeds, a sleep timer, nothing sent online.
✦ HONESTY ON EVERY PAGE
Every text names its manuscript and its translator. Where the papyrus is damaged, the gap is shown as a gap and marked with an asterisk, and the page says why. No invented scripture, ever.
✦ ASK THE LIBRARY
Ask in your own words — "what is the kingdom?", "who is the demiurge?" — and get the texts' own words back: verbatim passages with citations, found entirely on your device. Nothing generated, nothing invented, nothing sent online.
✦ IN PLAIN WORDS
Under any passage, a companion note in plain English: what it meant in its world. Ancient terms (Pleroma, archon, gnosis) explained in a tap. Clearly labeled commentary, never passed off as scripture.
✦ A PATH THROUGH THE LIBRARY
Not sure where to begin? Answer a question or two and the library becomes a reading path: Jesus in his own words, Mary Magdalene and the sacred feminine, or the secret teachings of how everything began. One part a day.
✦ A QUIET DAILY PRACTICE
One passage each day at the hour you choose — the notification carries the actual words, never "come back!" bait. Keep highlights, notes and pinned passages on their own Notes tab.
✦ PASS IT ON
Share any passage as a picture, set the way the app sets it, or as words with its reference — and send a friend the library.
✦ 100% OFFLINE. 100% PRIVATE.
The whole library is stored on your device — airplane mode is enough. No ads. No account. No tracking. Data safety: nothing collected, nothing shared.
✦ ONE PRICE, FOREVER
Free forever: the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Mary, and Thunder, Perfect Mind — complete, to read, search, mark and share. Seven open days show you everything: no card, no tricks. Then one purchase unlocks every text for good, with Listen, the plain-words notes in full and export of your notes. Every future text is free for owners. Never a subscription.
✦ WHO THIS IS FOR
For readers of the gnostic gospels and the Nag Hammadi library. For collectors of the apocrypha and the lost books of the Bible. For students of gnosticism, the demiurge, Sophia, and early Christian history. For anyone who ever felt that part of the story was missing.
Read them yourself. Decide for yourself.
