Readgate blocks the apps you scroll and opens them after one short read. Read more without finding the time. Pick the app that pulls you in. When you reach for it, a reading gate appears. Read something short you would never look up. Then your app opens for a break. No punishment, no willpower needed, and no account needed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose an app or website to protect. 2. When its reading gate appears, continue to Readgate. 3. Finish a short read, then tap to unlock. 4. Use your app for a break. When the break ends, the reading gate returns. READS YOU WOULD NEVER LOOK UP Short reads from Wikipedia, classic books and stoic quotes. Science, history, psychology, technology, nature, philosophy, culture and more. Pick your topics, and Surprise me brings something new each time. Or follow a reading series like Earth and its Moon or Ancient Rome one part at a time, or a classic book one idea a day.
