About

Read Everyday

Features
Read full description

Read Everyday is a reading scheduler, not a reading log. Instead of "39% complete," it tells you "pages 67-83 today." Pick your books and a target date, and it works out how much to read today from the pages and days that are left. ■ Only what you need to read today Reading several books at once? The home screen shows today's total and each book's share. For every book you get an exact range, from which page to which page. Hide the ones you are taking a break from, and reorder the rest to put what matters first. ■ Fall behind without replanning Reading less than today's goal is not marked as a failure. When the day rolls over, tomorrow's amount is recalculated from the pages and days remaining. Read more than the goal and future amounts shrink on their own. ■ Record with one slide Slide the vertical control up to the page you reached. Need an exact number? Type it in. Finished the book? Slide to the top. ■ You don't have to open the app The home screen widget shows today's progress and each book's range. The small widget shows today's total and how many books are in progress; the medium one shows each book's range and whether it is done. ■ For people who read past midnight Choose when your day rolls over, anywhere from 10 PM to 2 AM. Set it to 2 AM and reading at 1 AM counts toward the previous day. ■ Easy on the eyes Follow the device setting, or lock the app to light or dark. ■ English and Korean The app follows your device language. You can also lock it to either language in Settings. ■ Your records stay on your device No account, no sign-in. Everything is stored on your device and never sent anywhere. No ads, no tracking.
