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/

Tyze helps you budget your time the way you budget money: decide how many hours each part of your life deserves, then spend them on purpose. Most trackers just count what you did. Tyze starts from what you meant to do. Give reading, studying, training, or side projects a weekly or daily budget, then log time in a single tap. A calm home screen shows exactly where each goal stands, with two bars per goal: the time you logged, and the time you were actually focused. WHY PEOPLE USE TYZE - Set time budgets for the things that matter, by day, week, or month - Log a session with one tap, or run a built-in timer - See logged time and focused time side by side, never just a raw number - Keep gentle streaks without the guilt trip STAY ACCOUNTABLE WITH FRIENDS - Add friends and form small groups around a shared push - Put something on the line together (always symbolic, never money) - Everyone holds their own goal, measured against their own budget - A quiet feed shows who followed through, and history keeps it honest BUILD THE HABIT, GENTLY - Evening check-ins and streak-risk reminders that actually arrive on time - Place-based nudges: get a timer offer when you reach the gym or library - Calendar-aware reminders before events that match your goals FOCUS, NOT WILLPOWER - Rate your focus after each session and watch your real effort over time - Optional Screen Time tracking auto-logs chosen apps against a cap - Optional app blocking as a reward gate: locked until you hit your goal SEE YOUR PROGRESS - A full analytics tab with week, month, and all-time views - Logged vs focused breakdowns and progress over time - Lock Screen widgets, Live Activities, and Siri shortcuts Everything syncs across your devices. Light and dark mode included. Tyze Premium unlocks unlimited goals, your full history, and group stakes. Start free and upgrade when you are ready. Your time is a budget. Spend it like you mean it. Tyze Premium: $4.99/month or $39.99/year, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tyze.app/privacy
