Block social media until you read
Everything you need to stop scrolling and start reading. Built to stay out of your way once you open a book.
App blocking engine
A background service watches Usage Access and shows a full-screen Wall overlay the moment a walled app comes to the foreground, with a path back into the reader.
Gutenberg library built in
Browse thousands of free classics inside the app. Download a title once and it stays on your phone for offline reading.
Bionic Reading mode
Turn on Bionic Reading and the first half of each word is bolded. It helps your eyes move through the page with less effort.
Strict Mode
When Strict Mode is on, you cannot change your goal, wall list, or schedule until you finish today's reading. Uninstalling still removes the wall. Strict Mode locks settings inside the app, not the phone.
Streaks and freezes
See how many days you have hit your goal. Premium freeze tokens cover the days life gets in the way.
Works offline
Downloaded books stay on your device. Your reading history stays private. No account required to keep reading.
