Readrrr uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation to show words one at a time in the same spot, and a natural voice can read each word aloud as it appears. Your eyes don't have to jump across lines, so you don't lose your place and read faster. Seeing and hearing every word at the same time also keeps your mind from drifting. Start at your normal pace and speed up as it gets comfortable. A Readrrr subscription or one-time purchase includes everything below: RSVP READER Every word has one letter marked in red for your eyes to rest on, so you never have to look for where the word starts. You can change the speed at any time. NARRATION Pick a voice and it reads along in sync with every word at any speed. The voice runs on your phone, so it works offline. SHORT READS Non-fiction you can finish in 10 to 20 minutes, on topics like history, health, science and economics. Each one is written to be read in Readrrr and sits in a collection with related reads. New ones come out every week, and you can suggest a topic. READ ANYTHING Import PDFs and EPUBs, send an article from Safari with one tap, paste text, or scan pages from a paper book. APP LOCKING Pick the apps that take up your day. Starting at 4 am they stay locked until you've read your daily word goal. Every day you hit it adds to your streak. If you really need one of them, you can unlock for 10 minutes once a day. HIGHLIGHTS Save any passage while you read. Readrrr sorts your highlights into themes and brings old ones back to you in the app and in a Home Screen widget, so you don't forget what you read. STATS Track your reading speed, words read and streak as they grow. SYNC Your library, reading position and stats stay in sync across your devices. SUBSCRIPTION Readrrr requires a subscription or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage them in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.ocule.no/readrrr/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Nudge

Nudge is built for you to ACT. Most focus apps add. Nudge removes. You don't need another dashboard, another streak to protect, or another 25-minute timer. You need to finish the one thing you keep putting off. HOW IT WORKS 1. Each morning, name your one task. 2. Set the deadline you're giving yourself. 3. Pick the apps that pull you away. Until that task is marked done, those apps stay behind a soft lock. Open Instagram, TikTok, or whatever your weakness is, and Nudge quietly reminds you what you were supposed to be doing — then lets you decide. NOT A TIMER. A FINISH LINE. Session blockers free you for a window of time. When the clock runs out, you're back to square one. Nudge ties the unlock to the work itself. The block lifts when the task is done — not a minute before, not a minute after. ONE TASK. ON PURPOSE. A to-do list with forty items is just forty ways to feel behind. Nudge holds exactly one. The one that matters today. Everything else can wait until you've earned the right to think about it. A STREAK THAT WON'T PUNISH YOU Miss a day and nothing burns down. The streak is there to encourage, not to guilt. There are no points to farm, no trees to kill, no leaderboard to climb. LIVES ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A widget keeps today's task and its deadline one glance away — so the commitment stays visible without opening anything. Pick the one thing. Give it a deadline. Get it done. —————————————— FEATURES • One task per day — no lists, no categories, no noise • Lock Screen widget — show the task to remind you • Home Screen widget — keep it front and center • Live Activity — Overdue tasks surface on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen in real time • App Shield — blocked apps show your task first, every single time • Completion history — a calendar and streak so you can see your momentum build • Streak tracking — see how many days in a row you've closed the loop —————————————— SUBSCRIPTION Nudge is free to use with a 3-day free trial. A subscription is required to continue using the app after the trial period.

Verdict
