Readr Lock — Earn Screen Time by Reading Books

Readr Lock is an iOS app that blocks distracting apps like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube and unlocks them only after you read. Turn reading time into screen time. Build a lasting reading habit.

How it works

Select your reading apps — Kindle, Apple Books, Medium, Goodreads, or Audible. Every minute you read earns screen-time credits. Spend those credits to unlock Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Netflix, and games. When your balance hits zero, reward apps are automatically blocked.

• Works with Kindle, Apple Books, Medium, Goodreads, Audible
