About this app
One short reading from the Taoist classics each day, in clear English. Read it in a minute. Sit with it if you'd like. Koda has been redesigned end to end: warm paper, quiet type, and Song-dynasty landscape imagery, so the text sits closer to the page. READ Four classics in clear English, with the original Chinese alongside. The Tao Te Ching, all 81 chapters. The Zhuangzi, Inner Chapters, told story by story. The Liezi, the most readable Taoist fables. The Classic of Purity, one short scripture of stillness. Compare translations line by line. Tap any character for pinyin and a plain reading. MARK Highlight the lines that speak to you, keep notes anchored to them, and close each session with one word: settled, lighter, same. SIT Short guided audio: a bell, the lines read slowly, then silence. Available from any reading via "Sit with this." YOURS TO KEEP Sign in with Apple or an email code to carry your highlights and notes across your devices. Or stay a guest and read. No predictions. No medical claims. No streaks to protect. The pace of reading is yours. A quiet date card marks the twenty-four solar terms (二十四節氣) — a note on the season, nothing to act on. SUBSCRIPTION The daily reading is free, every day, and the opening chapters of every book are free to read. Koda Pro unlocks the complete library and every audio session. $9.99 per month, or $79.99 per year. 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
