TagTrack vs Read First

TagTrack is the habit tracker that lives in the real world. Stick NFC tags or QR codes on your water bottle, pill box or gym bag, tap them with your iPhone and your habit is logged instantly – no long lists, no pop‑ups, no opening any app. Instead of scrolling through yet another app, you just tap the object linked to your routine and keep moving. TagTrack turns the things you already use every day into tiny habit buttons. BUILD HABITS WITH LESS FRICTION - Log a habit in under 2 seconds by tapping an NFC tag or scanning a QR code. - No need to search for the habit in a list or confirm a popup. - Perfect if you already love automation, but don't want to maintain complex Shortcuts. REAL-WORLD USE CASES - Water: put a tag on your bottle and count glasses throughout the day. - Medication: tag your pill box so you never forget a dose. - Gym: tag on your gym bag or membership card when you show up. - Reading: tag in your book or by your reading chair to keep the streak alive. - Fridge: tag on the door to stay aware of late-night snacks. THREE TRACKING METHODS Method 1: NFC Tags Quick tap on the physical object = instant logging. Works even when your phone is locked. Background mode — no need to open the app. Perfect for location-based habits. Method 2: QR Codes Scan a QR code on any object in seconds. Works on all iPhones (no NFC required). Create custom QR stickers for your routines. Method 3: Home Screen Widgets Tap the widget directly from your Home Screen. Instant +1, without opening the app. Small, Medium & Large sizes. Choose what fits your workflow. Use all three for ultimate flexibility. MAKE PROGRESS VISIBLE AND FUN Gamification keeps you going when motivation fades: - Earn XP for every goal you hit. - Unlock 40+ unique badges. - Progress through 9 levels (Beginner → Titan). - Streaks, heatmaps, and weekly/monthly charts. - Year view to see your habit heatmap at a glance. - Compare physical vs. digital check-ins. THREE HABIT TYPES Not all habits are equal: • Increase — Build positive habits (water, workouts, reading). • Reduce — Break bad habits (smoking, snacking, screen time). • Maintain — Stay consistent (medication, sleep schedule, routines). Each type has smart XP calculation and visual feedback tailored to your goals. DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE AUTOMATION - Built-in NFC + QR flow: no need to build your own Shortcuts or Notion setups. - Works great alongside existing productivity systems (calendars, to-dos, notes). - Widgets let you mark habits from your Home Screen with a single tap. - iOS Shortcuts automation support.

Your scrolling apps stay shut until you've read today's pages. Read First uses Apple's Screen Time to lock the apps that eat your evenings. Read your pages, snap a photo of the page you're on, and they open back up. That's the whole deal. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that take your time 2. Add your book and the date you want to finish it 3. Read First works out today's page count 4. Read, snap the page, type where you got to. Your apps open. FOCUS TIMER Spin the dial, lock your apps for 5 minutes or 2 hours, and just read. A gentle tune plays when you're done, and the countdown shows on your Lock Screen. MAKE IT YOURS • All day: locked until you've read • Reading hours: locked only during the hours you choose • Relock rounds: read, get a few hours free, then a new page count • Normal or Hard: decide whether the lock screen can be dismissed • Reading reminders and a Home Screen widget for today's pages A LIBRARY THAT GROWS Covers pulled in automatically, an up-next shelf, your finished books and a daily streak. And Folio, a small book who is very happy when you read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your books, pages and photos stay on your iPhone. Screen Time gives Read First anonymous tokens only, so it can't see which apps you picked or anything you do in them. We use anonymous analytics to improve the app, never your name, your books or which apps you lock. SUBSCRIPTION Read First requires a subscription. The plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of a free trial, or when you subscribe if there is no trial. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.
