Build a daily reading habit with Book Reading Habit. Log your reading sessions, set goals, take notes, organize your books, and sync everything with iCloud.
I built Book Reading Habit to help people read more consistently, starting with something simple: short reading sessions that feel easy enough to stick with.
The idea came from my own experience. I started with short reading sessions — just 5 to 10 minutes at a time — because it felt easy enough to stick with. Over time, I gradually increased the session length, and that small habit worked surprisingly well. Eventually, I wanted an app built around that experience, so I made one.
Book Reading Habit is designed to make reading feel simple, motivating, and sustainable. It currently includes features like:
Build a reading habit with short sessions, flexible timers, and reading progress tracking
Capture notes whenever you want — while reading or later
Organize books with custom shelves
Use widgets and Siri Shortcuts for quicker access
Import and export your library
One of the biggest priorities while building it was privacy.
A lot of apps today depend on ads or social features that turn everything into a public activity. I wanted the opposite: a calmer, more personal reading experience. So Book Reading Habit is built to help you focus on reading without ads, unnecessary noise, or social pressure.
The app has a free version that lets you add up to 5 books, with unlimited sessions and shelves. If you want more, there are monthly, yearly, and lifetime upgrade options that unlock features like import/export, automations, unlimited books, and more.
