Readr: Read to Unlock Apps

You don’t need more willpower. You need your phone to stop being easier than a book. Readr blocks your distracting apps until you’ve read for the day. Choose which apps to lock, choose which apps count as reading, and set a daily goal. Until you reach it, opening a locked app brings you back to your reason for reading. Once you complete your goal, your apps unlock for the rest of the day. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your reading apps—Kindle, Apple Books, Libby, Audible, Substack, Speechify or whatever you actually read with • Pick the apps to lock—the ones you open without deciding to • Set a daily reading goal, from a few minutes to a few hours • Create a personal lock-screen message that reminds you why you want to read • Start reading—your time counts automatically, with no timer to start and nothing to remember BUILD A READING HABIT THAT LASTS • Maintain reading streaks and view your complete reading history • See how many hours you’ve spent reading over time • Use rest days without losing your streak when life gets busy • Take a temporary break when you genuinely need your phone • Keep your reading progress in sync across your iPhone and iPad YOU’RE ALWAYS IN CONTROL Readr isn’t a trap. Take a break, take the day off, or switch locking off entirely in Settings—it’s your phone. The point is friction, not punishment. Readr makes distractions a little harder to reach so that reading becomes easier to choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Readr cannot see the names of the apps you choose to lock or read with. Apple’s Screen Time framework gives Readr private tokens rather than app names, and your app selections stay on your device. Readr measures how long you use a selected reading app. It never sees what you read or what appears on your screen. READR PRO Readr Pro is required to lock apps and record reading time.
