## Description

Build your reading habit — track daily streaks, hit your page goals, and watch the flames stack up!

Addictive apps keeping you from growing? ReadBlock helps you build a reading habit by blocking distracting apps until you reach your daily reading goal.

HOW IT WORKS

2. Set your daily reading goal (5, 10, 15, or 20 pages)
3. Upload your own books (EPUB)
4. Read to unlock — apps stay blocked until you finish

WHY READBLOCK
- Simple mechanism: read pages, unlock apps
- No willpower needed — the block does the work
- Works with any book you want to read in EPUB
- Uses Screen Time API for reliable blocking

PERFECT FOR
