About this app

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.

✦ THE LOST GOSPELS, COMPLETE

18 texts, about 74,000 words:
• The Gospel of Thomas — all 114 sayings
• The Gospel of Mary — the surviving pages of the Berlin Codex
• The Gospel of Judas — lost until 2006
• The Gospels of Philip, Truth, and Peter
• The Gospel of Nicodemus, with the Harrowing of Hell
• The Infancy Gospels of Thomas and James
• The Hymn of the Pearl, Thunder Perfect Mind, Poimandres
• The Secret Book of James, the Gospel of Q, the Egerton Gospel, the Secret Gospel of Mark, the Apocalypse of Peter, Pistis Sophia (selections)

✦ HONESTY ON EVERY PAGE

Every text names its manuscript — the Nag Hammadi codices, the Berlin Codex, Codex Tchacos — and its translator, in public-domain scholarly translations. Gaps in the papyrus are shown as gaps, never silently filled. Standard numbering you can cite (Saying 77, BG 8,15). No invented scripture, ever.

✦ ASK THE LIBRARY

Ask any question — "what is the kingdom?" — 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

Every one of the library's 384 sections carries a plain-English companion note — tap once for what the passage meant in its world. Ancient terms (Pleroma, archon, gnosis) explained in a tap. Clearly labeled commentary, never passed off as scripture.

✦ A QUIET DAILY PRACTICE

One passage each morning at the hour you choose — the notification carries the actual words, never "come back!" bait. Listen with offline read-aloud. Keep highlights and notes with one-tap export. Resume exactly where you left off.

✦ MADE FOR READING

A parchment day theme and a candlelit night theme, adjustable text size and line spacing, search across every text at once. A reader built the way these books deserve.

✦ 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 — verify it on this listing. We could not read your notes if we wanted to.

✦ ONE PRICE, FOREVER

Free forever: the Gospel of Thomas (all 114 sayings), the Gospel of Mary, and Thunder Perfect Mind — complete, with every feature. A 7-day full trial opens the entire shelf: no card, no tricks. Then one $9.99 purchase unlocks every text for good — while subscription apps charge up to $49.99 a year. Never a subscription here, and every future text added to the library is free for owners. The library grows; your price never does.

✦ 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.
