## What is Block&Read?

Block&Read puts a book in front of the apps that pull you in. Choose your distractions: Instagram, TikTok, whatever eats your day, and when you reach for one, a book appears instead. Read a few pages, and your apps unlock.

It's a beautiful e-reader and an app blocker in one. No willpower required, just a page or two.
