## What is readlock?

Break the doomscrolling cycle with readlock, the app that locks your most     
  distracting apps until you complete your daily reading.                       
                                                                                
  Choose which apps to block - social media, games, streaming - and readlock  
  keeps them locked until you've read. Once you finish your daily reading, your 
  apps unlock automatically for the rest of the day.                          
                                                                                
  How it works:
