Choose your rhythm

Two ways to make space for reading.

Set a finish date and Read First works out the pages. Change books, miss a day, or read ahead—the target keeps pace.

All day

Your chosen apps stay closed until today’s reading is done.

Reading hours

Set a time window when scrolling has to wait for your book.

Relock rounds

Read, take a few hours, then return for another small page goal.

Normal or Hard

Keep an exit available, or choose a lock screen that cannot be dismissed.

A library that grows

Finished books, an up-next shelf, automatic covers, and a daily streak.
