About

Readgate blocks the apps you scroll and opens them after one short read. Read more without finding the time. Pick the app that pulls you in. When you reach for it, a reading gate appears. Read something short you would never look up. Then your app opens for a break. No punishment, no willpower needed, and no account needed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose an app or website to protect. 2. When its reading gate appears, continue to Readgate. 3. Finish a short read, then tap to unlock. 4. Use your app for a break. When the break ends, the reading gate returns. READS YOU WOULD NEVER LOOK UP Short reads from Wikipedia, classic books and stoic quotes. Science, history, psychology, technology, nature, philosophy, culture and more. Pick your topics, and Surprise me brings something new each time. Or follow a reading series like Earth and its Moon or Ancient Rome one part at a time, or a classic book one idea a day.

What's New in Readgate

1.20.0

November 13, 2026

Courses are now reading series. Thirty short series on space, ancient history, the mind and more, most with their own picture. If you followed a course, you keep every part you read and continue in its series. Reads now come straight from Wikipedia, classic books and short quotes. The summary cards are gone, so every read is the real source. Each idea from a classic book ends with its source, and quotes name their public domain translation. The Moments screen shows each topic in its own color. New readers start with a real read on the first screen, and onboarding is shorter. Image credits for the series pictures are in Settings, under About. If Readgate helps you read more, a rating in the App Store helps others find it.
