ReadtoUnlock — Read first. Scroll later

Read to Unlock transforms your device usage by requiring reading to access distracting applications. Key features include: * Blocking selected distracting apps * Earning minutes by reading digital pages * Verifying comprehension with short quizzes * Accumulating a minute balance to unlock apps * Built-in library and EPUB/PDF import support This utility encourages a focused approach to daily digital habits. By setting a simple rule—read first, scroll later—it helps users consciously choose productive activities before engaging with time-consuming social media or entertainment apps. Every page read is converted into a minute, which is banked after a quick, three-question comprehension quiz. This system ensures active engagement with reading material, making the earned minutes feel genuinely deserved. The minute balance carries across days, providing flexibility without strict daily goals. Users can activate their earned minutes whenever they wish to unlock their chosen apps, turning traditionally distracting activities into a reward for engaging with reading. The platform offers a free tier with basic blocking and a built-in book, and a Pro subscription for unlimited app blocking, full library access, and personal document imports. Ideal for students, professionals, or anyone looking to reduce screen time and cultivate a reading habit while maintaining access to essential or desired applications. It's a practical tool for managing digital distractions and fostering better focus and learning.
