The library

Every culture and era, and the tools to use them.

The open library of offline packs that Kiwix serves, plus Granger's own Classics: Homer to Woolf, set properly, in English and Spanish. Take a few gigabytes or the lot.

Kiwix keeps the catalog. Granger makes it a library:

  • Shelves, not files. Packs browse like a library built for a phone.
  • A real e-reader. The Classics and your own ebooks, typeset, your page kept.
  • One search, everything. Articles, books and whatever you bring, from one box.

The clinic you carry.

Add the librarian and it quotes medical sources word for word rather than summarising them, and tells you when to see someone who can examine you.

Where it works

Where the network isn't.

In the air, on the road

Wikipedia at 35,000 feet.

No data plan, no roaming. The library is on the phone, and so is the librarian, if you've added one.

Off the grid

First aid, water and a map, with no bars.

Campers, sailors, rural households, the week after a storm. Medicine and Survival sit a tap from Home. It reads aloud when your hands are busy.

Where the network isn't allowed

Once it's on your phone, no filter reaches it.

Where sites are blocked or the internet is cut. Nothing is logged anywhere: not what you read, and if you add the librarian, not what you ask. No telemetry.

Networks come and go. The library stays.

Listen

It reads aloud. Any article, any classic, any book of your own.

The Owl is Granger's reading voice. It lives on the phone, so it reads with no signal, and no page or book is sent anywhere. Press play.

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago, never mind how long precisely, having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation.

Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except the polar ice caps and some remote islands.

The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms.

These three clips were rendered by the same voice model the app ships, read the way the app reads: a sentence at a time, each lit as it goes.

Ask it · an add-on

Add a librarian, and ask it something. It answers from the shelf, and shows you the page.

The librarian is optional: a small model you download once, which runs on the phone. Granger is a whole library without it. These are real replies from the test run.

Why Granger

A grange is a granary.

A farm fills it in the good seasons so a bad winter doesn't decide who eats. Granger is that store for knowledge: filled while the signal is good, there when it isn't.

Most of what we look up arrives through a connection somebody else controls: a plan, a filter, a server, a switch. When it closes, the knowledge goes with it. Granger puts the library where none of that reaches.

The owl is the one farmers cut a hole in the gable for, to keep the rats off the grain. And in a famous novel about burning books, Granger is the man who keeps them, outside the city, for whoever comes looking.

Knowledge is for all who seek it.

In writing

Seven promises, printed where you can hold us to them.

Printed in the app and in the store. If a feature or a price breaks one, it doesn't ship.

Granger earns from a one-time Supporter purchase for extras, from Basecamp, a home server for the whole library, and from builds for schools, ships and clinics. Never from access to knowledge.

Seven promisesGranger · 2026
  1. What you download is yours.It works offline, forever, without an account.
  2. Knowledge is never paywalled.No cap on downloads, no paid content, nothing safety-critical behind a purchase.
  3. No subscription for the app.Pay once if you choose to; the app never stops working.
  4. Nothing phones home.Not without an opt-in you can inspect. Off by default.
  5. Open source, GPL-3.0.If Granger the project disappears, Granger the app does not.
  6. No dark patterns.No nags, countdowns, or features shown as yours when they aren't.
  7. Your own collection is first class.Importing your music, audiobooks and e-books is free, and nothing is locked into a Granger-only format.
