"I keep buying books — but never find time to read them." You're not alone. Nearly 70% of people feel they don't read enough. But the problem isn't willpower. It's visibility. When you can't see your reading time, building a habit is almost impossible. Reading Time Log tracks your reading with a single tap. When the numbers start adding up, reading stops feeling like effort — and starts becoming routine. 【What Changes When You Use It】 • See your reading time by day, week, and month • Read 3 days in a row? If you haven't read yet today, an 8 PM reminder helps you keep going • Scan a book's barcode to add it — the cover fills in automatically • Track in the background — lock your phone while you read 【Simple Enough to Actually Stick】 Tap start. Read. Tap stop. No reviews, no notes, no setup. Zero friction. Book-tracking apps don't have a timer. Generic habit apps aren't built for reading. Reading Time Log fills that gap. 【Common Questions】 "Won't tracking become the point?" — Tap the timer, then just read. No reviews, no notes. The point is building the reading habit — not the tracking itself. "I already use a habit timer for reading. What's different?" — A general timer tracks hours. Reading Time Log tracks which book you spent those hours on, so you can see how much time went into each book. "I always quit reading apps after a week." — Tap start, tap stop — nothing else to maintain. And once you've read 3 days in a row, an 8 PM reminder nudges you on days you haven't read yet. "Is it free?" — The timer, reading logs for up to 3 books, and daily, weekly and monthly charts are free. Premium adds unlimited books and detailed stats: reading streak, average session, most-read book, and month-over-month comparison. Price shown before you commit. "Will my data disappear?" — Your reading data is stored on your device. From Settings you can also back it up to the cloud or export it to a file.
