Your phone should work for you β not against you. Read to Unlock locks the apps that steal your time and gives them back only after you read. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the apps that distract you (social media, games, anything). 2. Tap Lock. iOS truly blocks them using Apple's Screen Time technology. 3. To unlock, read a passage that flows slowly up your screen β word by word, no skipping, no scrolling ahead. Reach the last word and your apps are yours again. WHY IT WORKS Unlike timers you can ignore, reading demands your full attention. Each unlock becomes a small moment of calm focus instead of a mindless swipe. MAKE IT YOURS β’ Session length: 45, 60 or 120 seconds β’ Three reading speeds β Calm, Focused, Intense. Faster speed brings more words; the time stays the same. β’ Reading in 5 languages: English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French READ REAL BOOKS Built-in library of classic literature flows through your sessions and never repeats β every unlock continues the story where the last one ended. Or import your own PDF and finish it one unlock at a time; your position is always saved. TRACK YOUR FOCUS See your total sessions and the words you have read. Watch mindless unlocks turn into pages. Read to Unlock offers a free trial, then requires a subscription (monthly or yearly, auto-renewing) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
