About

Stop doomscrolling. Start finishing books. Monkly turns the apps that steal your attention into fuel for a reading habit. Pick the apps you lose hours to — social media, video, games — and Monkly locks them. The only way back in? Read a few pages. Every page you read earns real unlock minutes on the apps you blocked. It's the deal you'd never make with yourself — until now. HOW IT WORKS 1. Block — Choose your most distracting apps and set a schedule. Monkly shields them system-wide using Screen Time. 2. Read — Open any book inside Monkly. Each page earns unlock minutes, at a rate you control. 3. Unlock — Spend your earned minutes when you actually want them. Out of time? Read more. WHY IT WORKS • Loss aversion beats willpower. Your apps are locked by default, so reading becomes the easiest path back in. • Streaks you don't want to break. Build a daily reading chain and protect it with Streak Freezes. • Instant payoff. Pages become minutes become real progress you can feel. • No shame, no lectures. Monkly doesn't guilt-trip you for scrolling — it just changes the price. WHAT YOU GET • System-wide app and category blocking with custom schedules • A built-in reader for EPUB and FB2 — import your own books • A free starter library of timeless classics: The Great Gatsby, Meditations, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Art of War, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and more • Daily reminders that keep your streak alive • Reading stats: pages read, minutes earned, streaks, and books finished BUILT FOR Students who want to study instead of scroll. Professionals reclaiming deep work. Anyone who keeps saying "I wish I read more" while their screen time climbs. Your screen time is going to be spent either way. Spend some of it on a book. Download Monkly and read your way back to focus.
