## What is Read?

Put your social apps on hold and earn your screen time through reading.

Read to Unlock uses iOS Screen Time to block the apps you choose — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any others. For every page you read, you earn 1 minute of access. Complete 3 quick comprehension questions to prove you understood the material, then spend the minutes you’ve earned.

No endless scrolling. No relying on willpower. Just one simple rule: read first, scroll later.
