Read a little every day. Time to Read helps you build a daily reading habit: start a session with one tap, keep your streak going and watch your books fill a shelf. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.
A HABIT, NOT A CHORE
• Today shows your week at a glance. Every day with at least five minutes of reading counts for your streak.
• Streak freezes: every seven days in a row earns you one, so one busy day doesn't break your streak (you can keep up to two).
• A ring shows how many minutes are left for today's goal.
• Reminders at the time you choose, and a nudge in the evening when your streak is waiting.
A READING SESSION THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY
• Tap "Read" and the timer starts, in a calm, dark full screen.
• Pause, resume and end from the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island with the Live Activity.
• At the end you enter the page you reached and see your daily goal and your streak.
YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR SHELF
• Find books by title, author or ISBN (Open Library, Google Books and the German National Library), or add them by hand.
• Reading, Up next, Read: you always know what comes next.
• Switch from covers to a bookshelf with real spines, as thick as the book.
• Series: the app spots books that belong together and suggests the series. Missing volumes stand on the shelf as placeholders.
QUOTES AND THOUGHTS
• Keep quotes and your own thoughts with the page, during a session or any time.
• Scan a sentence from the printed page with the camera (Live Text, in English, German and French).
• Every book has its own notes page with your summary. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the app drafts it from your notes, on the device.
• Share a quote as a picture.
STATS AND YOUR READING YEAR
• Week, month and year: minutes per day against your daily goal, a calendar of every reading day, and the time of day you read most.
• Edit a session or add one you forgot.
• Your Reading Year: five cards with your books, hours, reading days and longest streak, ready to share.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription.
• Your library, sessions and notes stay on your device. The app goes online only to look up books and covers.
• Back up everything to a file and restore it whenever you want.
And Siri and Shortcuts: log reading time, set your daily goal, check your streak.
Requires iOS 26.
