What it does

In your language

Both books in Spanish, French, Dutch and German, with Italian, Polish, Norwegian and more on the way. Free with the book you own: open Extras, tap Translations, add the edition, and it sits beside the original on your shelf. The opening chapters of every edition are free for everyone, and the app’s own words follow the language you choose.

Built for the work

Typography tuned for hours instead of minutes. 5 typefaces including 2 designed for dyslexic readers, adjustable size, pages or scroll, dark with a light mode when you want it.

The complete audiobooks

Every chapter narrated. Background play, lock screen controls, speed control, a sleep timer, and a full chapter list.

Listen while you read

Tap the headphones inside the reader and the narration follows the chapter you are on. Move between the page and the voice by chapter.

Marks that travel

Press and hold a passage, drag to where it ends, add a note when the thought deserves one. Private to your account, synced across every device.

Yours, offline

Download the books and every hour of audio to your device. Airplane mode changes nothing.

The Forge

Turn the line that rewired you into a wallpaper for your lock screen or a card worth posting.

The Feed and the extras

Stan’s posts arrive with no algorithm deciding whether you see them. The Feed is a members-only space for adults who read the books, with every post screened before it appears. The printable companion journals live beside the books.

The Cloud Reader

The same library opens in any browser at my.stantaylor.com. Same account, same marks, same spot on the page.

Private by principle

No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and it will never send you a notification. No streaks, nothing engineered to pull you back in.

It sells you nothing

The app is a reader for books you already own. Sign in with the email you used at checkout and your shelf fills itself. Hardcover and gift claim codes redeem under Settings. No purchases, no subscriptions, no upsells, ever.

These books deal with power, manipulation, and psychological patterns, and they name them bluntly. A content and mental health notice is included in the app.
