Fabuly: Who We Are

Fabuly is more than just the app. We’re a team of passionate curators who are selecting the very best literary works available from the public domain so that everyone can easily enjoy free classic audiobooks. Let us take you through our journey

Our Mission:

“To make public domain literary works widely accessible” We honor the ink-and-paper past while embracing digital innovation. Fabuly marries the nostalgia of leather-bound books with the convenience of free classic audiobooks—because great stories deserve to be heard.

How we started:

Fabuly was born out of wanderlust when our founder, Joseph, was backpacking through Japan. Carrying physical books was impractical, and local libraries lacked English and French titles. This motivated the creation of an app where all works would be accessible easily, in audio or text format.

Why use Fabuly?

Let us show you why Fabuly stands out. Here are some unique features you won’t find anywhere else:

  • Handpicked Gems: We curate the finest classics—novels and short stories. Our team handpicks books, listens to audiobook samples, and ensures that every piece is a gem.
  • Read and Listen at the Same Time: We synchronize text and audio seamlessly, allowing you to read and listen simultaneously. It’s like having a personal narrator for every page.
  • Ad-Free Magic: Fabuly is free, so you get access to over 20,000 classic audiobooks without annoying ads and no distractions. Just you, the words, and the magic of storytelling.
