## What is ReadKey?

ReadKey turns reading into a simple rule.

Instead of relying on willpower, ReadKey helps you reduce distractions by temporarily restricting access to selected apps on your device. You choose what to lock. You decide when to focus.

Add any book by searching its title or ISBN.
Log the pages you read.
Convert your reading progress into scrolling minutes.
Use those minutes to unlock access to distracting apps.

ReadKey transforms reading into a clear exchange:
pages read → scrolling earned.

Build a streak, stay consistent, and make reading part of your daily routine.

ReadKey is built for people who want fewer distractions and a stronger reading habit.

Features:

• Block selected apps using Screen Time integration
• Add books by title or ISBN
• Log pages you read
• Convert reading pages into scrolling minutes
• Unlock apps through reading progress
• Track your reading streak
• Clean, minimal design
• Built with privacy in mind

No ads.
No tracking.
Just focus.
