CLUSTER FREE-DOMAIN-PUBLIC · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-05-17

Free public-domain audiobook apps

This cluster consists of free audiobook apps that stream and download public-domain classics, with catalogs ranging from roughly 3,000 to 150,000 titles and features like offline playback, sleep timers, and bookmarking. Entry dates show early activity in 2011-2013, then gaps until sporadic new entries in 2023, 2025, and 2026, indicating a long tail of occasional entrants rather than a dense community. All traction leaders are LibriVox-based apps with zero star ratings, suggesting no dominant player has emerged.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
