The Story

Built for people who love to read.

Gnos started as a frustration with reading apps that lived in the cloud, required subscriptions, or denied you ownership of your own books.

Reading is private. Your library should stay on your machine, in a format you own, with an interface that gets out of the way.

No account unless you want to. No data leaves your computer.

Gnos

"Your personal reading space."

Books, audio, notes, and sketches -
privately archived just for you.

v0.1.0 — Early Access

Principles

What Gnos believes in

Every product decision flows from a handful of beliefs about what software should feel like.

01

Privacy is the default

Everything stored on your machine. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking. Fully offline, always.

02

Your content, your rules

No recommendations, no upsells. Bring your own books, notes, and audio. What you bring in is all that's here.

03

Beautiful defaults

Six hand-crafted themes out of the box. Great typography and spacing are non-negotiable, not optional extras.

04

Study and reading, together

Notebooks, flashcards, and sketchbook live right next to your books. Learn actively without switching apps.
