Built it because I wanted to read more, but most reading apps either feel too passive or turn everything into social noise. What worked better for me was making reading easy to start: short 5–10 min sessions, pick up where you left off, minimal friction.
So the app is basically centered around habit formation, with stuff like notes, progress tracking, session extension, shelves, and simple organization.
I care a lot about keeping it quiet: no ads, no feed, no unnecessary clutter.
Still early. Mostly trying to understand what actually helps people read more consistently.
Currently only available for iOS, but might release an android version in the future.
My first iOS app, a book reading tracker. I used to set a timer every time I was reading a book, but I decided to create an app for myself to track the time, log sessions, organize my books into bookshelves, see progress, etc.
