About toread.me

A quieter way to return to books.

toread.me is an ebook reader focused on public-domain books, local EPUB files, and a reading experience that stays calm, private, and practical.

It belongs to the same cultural direction as CodeHelper and Unlistened.me: a set of independent projects built to support free access to culture, learning, tools, books, and audio.

Free access to culture

The three projects share the same direction: make useful knowledge, books, audio, and developer resources easier to reach without unnecessary barriers.

Privacy by default

toread.me keeps personal EPUB files in the browser session and avoids account requirements. The reader is designed to work with minimal data collection.

Focused tools

Each site has a specific purpose: reading, coding, or listening. The common idea is to reduce noise and help people return to culture with less friction.

About the creator

toread.me, CodeHelper, and Unlistened.me are projects by Gianluca Tiengo. The shared goal is to build small, useful, privacy-minded web experiences that help people learn, read, listen, and create.
