ReadingClock is a simple app to track your daily and weekly reading time and progress. By cultivating a consistent reading habit, you will witness your transformation. Features: - Daily Reading Tracking - Progress Visualization - Set Reading Goals - Add, Delete, or Edit Reading Logs Why I built ReadingClock? This app was built by Grace, a mother of two. My children have a daily reading habit and track their reading progress. Although their school requires only 20 minutes of daily reading, my kids typically read for 40 minutes to an hour each day. Observing their significant progress in reading and writing over time inspired me to create this app. It's designed to systematize and assist other readers in following a similar routine. My children gave me a lot of feedback on this app. It would not be here without them! "I love ReadingClock! I use it for my reading time at home and for my homework. " - my son "ReadingClock is so helpful! Also my mom always takes my feedback to make the app better! " - my daughter
