## What is Checkbox Reader?

=== CHECKBOX READER ===

Where Big Books Meet Small Wins!

Tired of staring at stacks of unopened books and feeling overwhelmed?
Getting sluggish as you fight through endless pages?

Checkbox Reader transforms overwhelming books into bite-sized victories that fit your busy life.


+++ THE MAGIC OF SMALL WINS +++

Checkbox Reader is simple: turn every book into a series of manageable checkboxes.
Each checkbox represents just 5-15 minutes of reading. A checkbox can be 5 pages, or 20 pages - totally up to your preference and availability.

Instead of thinking "I need to read 500 pages of Guns, Germs, and Steel," it's "I just need to complete this one checkbox."
Every checkbox you tick is a win that keeps you motivated and moving forward.

It's about building a sustainable habit of reading a little every day.


+++ SIMPLE YET FEATURE RICH +++

Checkbox Reader keeps it simple, but we've built in powerful features for ourselves, and for our fellow readers.

MOTIVATIONAL FEATURES:
Streaks that keep you motivated, activity calendars that show your reading journey, and statistics that track your progress.

BUILD YOUR LIBRARY:
Search and discover books through Google Books integration, add custom book covers, write personal reviews and ratings, and organize your growing collection. This is your private reading sanctuary.

SHARING, BUT ONLY ON YOUR TERMS:
Share the books you've read and reviewed - but only when you want to. This is not a social app; it's your personal reading motivator and tracker. You control what gets shared and when. And, speaking of you controlling your data...


+++ PRIVACY FIRST +++

Your reading data belongs to you. No ads, no tracking, no monthly fees, no subscription. Just a one-time purchase and Checkbox Reader is yours forever. When you move to a new device, transfer your entire library with a simple QR code scan.


+++ GET SUPPORT +++

We built Checkbox Reader to help us read more.  We'd love to hear how Checkbox Reader helps you along your reading journey.
