RISE is a reading tracker for people who love books but keep losing them to their phone. Everything in RISE is free. Forever. No trial, no paywall, nothing held back. TRACK YOUR READING • Every book, chapter by chapter • Build your library — search or add any book, even niche ones • Photograph a cover for self-published titles • Stats: books this month, this year, reading streaks • Set a yearly goal and watch it climb TURN READING INTO YOUR UNLOCK KEY Block Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — the apps that eat your evenings. Read a chapter, pass a 5-question quiz, and earn 30 minutes back. That's the only way to open them. Stack chapters to bank more time. Everything resets at midnight. Don't want the blocking? Skip it. RISE still works as your library, recommendations and stats. COMPETE WITH YOUR FRIENDS See who read the most today, this week and this month — globally, or in a private group. Share a code or an invite link and bring your friends in. Streaks show next to every name. THE READ2RISE READING GUIDE 50 books I actually recommend, across 19 categories, each with a note on why it's worth your time. Add any of them to your library in one tap. SEE YOUR SCREEN TIME DROP Your daily screen time charted over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year, measured against where you started. Hours reclaimed. And the number that matters most — how much less you scroll on the days you read. WHY RISE EXISTS The average person spends 4 hours a day on their phone. That's 60 days a year. Gone. RISE is for people who want those hours back, and who know reading is what they'd do with them. SUPPORTING RISE (COMPLETELY OPTIONAL) It's just me — no company, no investors. If you want to back the project you can, at $5/month or $10/month, and you'll get an exclusive app icon and a supporter badge. That's the entire difference. Nothing in RISE is locked either way.

Take your time back. ### 1.8.1 — 2026-08-07 Simplified the pricing screen — one clear choice: free reading tracker or premium unlock features. ### 1.8 — 2026-07-22 Big update: RISE now has a free tier. Reading tracker, book library, and stats are free forever. The screen-time blocking + read-to-unlock features stay on the 7-day trial + subscription. New: • Add any book manually — perfect for niche titles or self-published books. Take a photo of the cover or pick from your library. • Tap your 2026 reading goal to see every book you've finished this year. • Swipe left on any library row to delete. Better: • Onboarding now explains what's free vs paid up front. • Whole library rows are tappable, not just the title. • Smarter summary verification recognizes niche books. • Sign in flow simplified — no more display name step. Fixed: • Manually added books keep the photo you took. • Wrong-book cover no longer appears when OpenLibrary doesn't have your title. ### 1.7.2 — 2026-07-02 Fixed: quizzes occasionally showed the wrong book's questions. Fixed: deleted books returning after switching tabs. Fixed: reading calendar now tracks quizzes and summary verifications. Fixed: voice input no longer erases prior text when you pause and resume. Tightened summary verification to prevent gaming the unlock. ### 1.7.1 — 2026-06-26 Auto-relock fix — apps now reliably block again the moment your unlock window ends. Unlock in 5-minute increments for finer control over your screen time. ## Apps similar to RISE | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [90 Day Savage](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/90-day-savage/id6768501024) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [King Focus: Train Attention](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/king-focus-train-attention/id6761002164) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Stop Smoking In 2 Hours](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stop-smoking-in-2-hours/id6474775565) | 5.0 (2) | $9.99 | Health & Fitness | | [Bonding Health: ADHD Reset](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bonding-health-adhd-reset/id1611980187) | 5.0 (15) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [EA Trainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ea-trainer/id1667748059) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [PerformX 2026](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/performx-2026/id6741581585) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Christopher Kriel - [Grind and Growth Society](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/grind-and-growth-society/id6774672409) All apps by Christopher Kriel: https://appshunter.io/developer/1795531477 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
