About this app
Kafka is home to classic literature that shaped our civilization — thousands of free English and Hindi books, all produced and curated by humans for a beautiful reading experience.
We don't just dump text on a screen. Every book in Kafka is hand-formatted, typeset, and designed. We obsess over how a paragraph sits on a page so you can read it the way text wants to be read.
This is a reading app for people who still believe books deserve attention.
HINDI & INDIAN CLASSICS
Kafka exists because these stories deserve better than bad scans and broken formatting. We're building the Hindi library that should have existed decades ago, alongside beautiful versions of world literature.
AUDIOBOOKS, WHEN YOU CAN’T READ
Every audiobook is hand-picked and free. Start reading a chapter, switch to listening on your commute, come back to the page at night. Sleep timer, adjustable speed, mini player. Reading and listening live together here.
DIFFERENT READERS FOR DIFFERENT GENRES
A ghazal isn't a novel. A play isn't an essay. Kafka knows the difference.
Urdu poetry renders with beautifully justified lines, adaptive sizing, and meaning annotations so every couplet lands the way the poet intended. Drama gives you clickable speaker names — tap a character, see all their lines light up across the scene. Stage directions sit in their own styled containers. Letters have greetings and closings. Epigraphs are set apart. Each line formatted to be read as it was meant to be read.
Most readers treat everything like a wall of text. We don't.
PRODUCED AND CURATED BY HUMANS
Kafka is a calm, focused space — ambient sounds, warm themes, and nothing between you and the words. No store pushing bestsellers. No algorithms selling ads. No social feed competing for your attention.
⁃ HIGHLIGHTS & NOTES
Mark passages in multiple colors. Add personal notes. See what other readers found meaningful. Filter, revisit, sync across devices.
⁃ IMPORT YOUR OWN BOOKS
Import your own epub files and read with our epub reader. Read them with all the same features — themes, fonts, highlights, progress sync. Your personal collection, upgraded.
⁃ TAP TO DEFINE
Tap any word for definitions with context, etymology, and phrase explanations. Kafka understands the book you're reading and gives meanings that fit — not just a dictionary entry.
⁃ YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Create bookshelves. Track what you're reading, finished, or saving for later. Set daily reading goals. Everything syncs. Read offline once you have opened the eBook.
⁃ A READER BUILT FOR LONG SESSIONS
Bionic reading for faster focus. Auto-scroll at your own pace. Search within any book. 15 handpicked fonts including Hindi-specific typefaces. Adjustable size, spacing, margins. Ambient sound mixes — rain, cafe, fireplace. Select any passage, turn it into a beautiful quote image, share it. Multiple templates. The words deserve to travel.
⁃ A READING COMPANION, FROM ME TO YOU
Kafka is built by a single indie developer. We have volunteers who love to review, produce, and curate literature simply because they want to. We are not driven by profits, only by our drive to serve beautiful content.
Free. No ads.
