Stop trying to fall asleep. Listen to something else instead.
Gentle nature writing, quiet essays and slow stories, read softly while the lights go down and the house goes quiet. A hundred years of unhurried writing, meeting you at the hour you actually need it.
3 free books this month, no card.
One membership, your whole family
Think Netflix, but for books: one subscription, unlimited listening and reading, with six apps instead of five profiles.
Audible gives you one credit a month. We give you the whole library: 3,250 audiobooks and 3,949 ebooks, ad free, across Healtone, Calmtone, Cluetone, Eratone, Littletone and NaturaRead. Nobody at home shares a shelf or a queue, because everyone opens the app that suits them on the same membership. Littletone, our children's app, included at no extra cost.
Six apps instead of five profiles
One person is winding down at midnight. Another wants to understand their own body. Another wants a mystery, or a century of history. Putting all of that into one crowded shelf helps nobody, so we built focused libraries instead, each with its own mood and its own front door.
One membership opens them all. Everyone at home signs in with the same account and picks the app that suits them, so there is no shared queue, no fighting over what plays next, and no recommendations built from somebody else's taste. Each person keeps their own place in their own book.
Health for one. Sleep for another. Stories for another. History for another. One subscription, many ways to use it.

Edwin Marsh · narrated by Rowan Whitmore · 3h 20m
The best part of the day arrives quietly, when the light turns gold and the woods settle into their evening rhythm. This is time spent at the tree line, waiting without a schedule, watching a doe test the air and a fawn stay close, and noticing how stillness changes what you are able to see. No lesson, no agenda, just the patient, unhurried company of a place that asks nothing of you but attention.

Audible made the credit feel normal: one book a month, and if you finish it in a week you wait. We do not think daily listening fits a once a month model, so there is nothing to ration here. Open the app and listen or read as much as you want.
Their yearly membership is $149.50 for twelve credits. Ours is $149 for everything, in six apps, for the whole household.
If you only want one audiobook a month, Audible is very good at that. If you want the door left open, this is built differently.
| Audible Premium | All-Access | |
|---|---|---|
| A month | $14.95 | $19.99 |
| A year | $149.50 | $149 |
| What that buys | 1 credit a month | Everything, unlimited |
| Ebooks | No | Yes, all of them |
| Apps | One | Six |
| The household | Costs extra | Built in |
| Keep books forever | With credits | Yes, from $1.99 |

Start something at midnight, abandon it when it does not suit the mood, put on another. Nothing costs extra, so nothing needs deciding.
Fall asleep mid-chapter, pick it up mid-chapter tomorrow. Phone, tablet, computer. Slower when you want to sink into it.
The books you finish are counted, and the still hours you spent turn into a record you can look back at.
Automatically renews. Cancel anytime. Books you purchase stay yours forever, member or not.
A few things we want you to know
Our books are narrated by AI voices, and we are proud of it. We cast them the way a studio casts actors: warm, steady, easy to follow for hours, and matched to the kind of book they read. It is what lets us record a library this size, keep adding to it every week, and still charge a few dollars a month. You can meet every voice on our narrators page. We would rather tell you now than have you wonder later.
The library grows every week. New titles arrive constantly across all six apps, audiobooks and ebooks together. You are not buying a fixed shelf, you are joining one that keeps filling.
You may find small imperfections. A word read a touch quickly, or a sentence where the tone shifts because we repaired it after the original take. We would rather spend our hours bringing you more books than re-recording one that is already almost right, and that choice is part of what keeps the price where it is.
No ads. Not now, not later. Paying members never hear an advertisement. That is a promise, not a campaign.
Cancel anytime, keep what you own. Books you buy outright stay yours for good, whether you subscribe or not. Memberships renew until you switch them off, and we email you before every renewal so nothing is ever a surprise.
Why we built this
We started by making a better listening and reading experience for our own books, because the ones we could buy were built for collectors of single titles and not for people who listen while they cook, drive, garden or fall asleep.
Then it grew. One shelf became six, each with its own mood, and the whole thing became what we wished existed: unlimited access, calm discovery, and a membership a household can actually share. We are a small independent publisher in Laval, Canada, not a platform, and every book here was chosen by someone who wanted to hear it.

Being read to never gets old
Long before screens, people drifted off to a voice reading by lamplight. Calmtone brings that ritual back: gentle classics read softly, with no feeds, no alerts, and nothing pulling you back awake. Press play as you wind down and let the narrator finish the page. Buy a book once and keep it forever, or stream the whole store with Calmtone Plus.
