BookDay vs Readence

BookDay was created with the aim of encouraging young adults to build reading habits. It helps readers who want to insert more literature into their daily lives, but suffer from a lack of organization. Thinking about helping them, the application offers several features, such as: - Bookshelves dedicated to books you want to read or have already been read; - Vast number of literary works; - Scheduled reminders; - Custom annotations; - Monitoring the reading process. BookDay is a free application, developed by Isabella Gomes, Sofia Gelli and Vivian Bacelar.

Readence turns reading into something you do every day — not something you mean to get back to. Fifteen minutes is the default goal. Meet it and the day is done: the ember fills, the streak survives, and tomorrow asks the same small thing. No targets you have to beat, no reading speed to defend. Consistency is the whole game. A LIBRARY THAT IS ALREADY YOURS Hundreds of classics from Standard Ebooks and the Hungarian Electronic Library, cleared title by title and free to open the moment you sign in. Browse by genre, see how long a book will actually take you, and start reading in one tap. BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS Add EPUB, PDF, TXT, DOCX, RTF, HTML or Markdown from your phone or iCloud. The file itself never leaves your device — we keep the title, the author and a fingerprint, never the text. TWO WAYS TO READ Read the page the ordinary way, or switch on RSVP: one word at a time at a fixed point on screen, so your eyes stop travelling and your attention has nowhere to wander. Set the pace yourself, from a gentle 150 words a minute upwards. Long words are given a little longer. It is a reading mode, not a party trick — and you can leave it off entirely. A STREAK WORTH KEEPING Daily goals, streaks, XP and levels, and eighteen hand-drawn achievements that mark real things: a first week, a month, a finished book, fifty finished books. Two streak freezes so one bad day does not undo a month. FRIENDS, QUIETLY Add the people you actually know — both sides have to agree, so this list only ever fills up on purpose. See who kept the flame lit today, share a book you finished, and let a friend's streak be the reason you open the app at eleven at night. Your shelf is private until you say otherwise — twice: once for the whole shelf, once per book. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT Everything above is free. Ads appear when a session ends, never before it starts, and never in the middle of a chapter. Readence Plus removes them. After a one-time setup, Readence works offline. Your position, your streak and your books are on your phone first and synced when there is a signal. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://readence.hu/terms Privacy Policy: https://readence.hu/privacy
