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.
