Block social media until you read — features built for focus
Everything you need to stop scrolling and start reading. Designed to be effective and completely distraction free.
App blocking engine
A robust background service that intercepts your selected apps the moment you tap them. The wall appears instantly. No delay and no workarounds.
Versatile reading engine
Import your own EPUB, PDF, or TXT files effortlessly. Alternatively, explore the integrated Gutenberg library to download classic literature directly to your device.
Bionic Reading mode
Enable Bionic Reading to artificially emphasize the first few letters of every word. This guides your eyes smoothly and helps you maintain focus for much longer periods.
Uncompromising Strict Mode
The ultimate safety net for your willpower. When enabled, you cannot adjust your daily goal or disable the block until tomorrow. You are forced to read to unlock your phone.
Streaks and freezes
Track your reading consistency with an integrated streak counter. Earn freeze tokens to protect your streak on days when life gets in the way of your reading habit.
Always offline
Your reading history and local files never leave your device. The app functions flawlessly without an internet connection, ensuring complete privacy.
