Another Page: Read to Unlock Apple

Another Page: Read to Unlock

Read books to unlock your apps

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Read more, scroll less. Your blocked apps open after a few pages of a good book. 4,100 free classics in twelve languages. No account, no ads, nothing tracked.

Another Page puts a few pages of a good classic book between you and your most distracting apps. It's an app for people who want to read more and scroll less.

Open Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Reddit and a reading screen appears instead. Read a few pages from a classic of your choice, and the app opens for a timed window. That's the whole idea: every time you reach for a distracting app, you have to read a little first.

Most app blockers just add friction. Another Page also helps you swap the doomscrolling habit for a reading one, and cut your screen time a few pages at a time.

How it works

Pick the apps you want to block, one at a time, or a whole category like social or games in a tap. When you open one, a reading session starts, right where you left off. Hit your goal, in pages or minutes, and your app unlocks for as long as you set. You set the rules. How many pages or minutes, how long the unlock lasts, which apps get blocked. The app just holds you to it. Reading is never cut off mid-page; keep going past the goal if you like. While an app is unlocked, a Lock Screen countdown shows the time left. Need a break? Pause blocking when you need to.

More than 4,000 books, in 12 languages, for free A curated library of classics ships with the app, with no subscription to read them. English has around 1,500, including Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice and Moby Dick. Another 2,631 are in Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Filipino. The books come from public-domain sources that produce careful editions: Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Wikisource, Projecto Adamastor and the Biblioteca Nacional de España.

Another Page also works as a standalone ebook reader, no blocking required, and standalone reading still counts toward your daily goal and streak.

A reader built for reading Light, sepia, and dark themes, with a choice of fonts. Highlight passages, bookmark your place, search the full text, and jump by chapter, then jump straight back after following a footnote. Tap once for a clean, full-screen view. Books download for offline reading, so you can read anywhere, even with no signal. Double-tap a word for its definition; dictionaries for eight more languages download on demand.

Built to be accessible Another Page works well with VoiceOver: labeled controls, on-screen page turn buttons that announce each page as you turn, an OpenDyslexic font, and adjustable text size and spacing.

Nothing leaves your device unless you choose iCloud sync No account, analytics, or tracking. Blocked apps stay on your device. If enabled, sync saves reading data and eligible books to your iCloud Drive. Another Page has no sync server and cannot see it.

Keep the streak going A daily reading goal, day streaks, and simple stats show how your pages add up over time, and how often you chose a book instead. Share a milestone when you finish a book or reach a new streak.

Free, with an optional upgrade The core app is free: block up to three apps, read any book in the library, in any of its 12 languages, and set your own goals. The core experience will always remain free, with no ads, now or at any point in the future.

Premium adds: • Unlimited blocked apps • App groups, each with its own rules • Your own books and iCloud sync • A stricter mode for the days you need it • Scheduling across multiple time windows • Streak freezes • Deeper reading insights

A note on permissions To block apps, Another Page uses Apple's Screen Time. You grant Screen Time access once, and choose which apps to block from Apple's own screen. Another Page only ever sees a private, on-device reference to your choices, never the app names, your installed apps, or how you use them. Your Screen Time choices stay on your device, and Another Page never reads your screen.

User Reviews

I absolutely adore rereading classics, so much so that they’ve become one of my favorite ways to spend those little 5 minute pockets of free time throughout the day. Social media, on the other hand, isn’t really my thing, but when there’s 'nothing to do' and I have a few minutes to kill, it’s ridiculously easy to instinctively open one of those pesky apps. Which is exactly why this app is perfect for me! I actually discovered Another Page through a Reddit forum that popped up when I was searching for classical libraries and then promptly eagerly waited for the iOS release. One of the things I appreciate most is the commitment to privacy. It feels like so many apps collect an unnecessary amount of data nowadays, so finding one that doesn’t collect your data and doesn’t even require an email address to use is genuinely refreshing. I’ve always found mandatory sign-ups to be such an unnecessary barrier, and they often discourage me from trying an app altogether. AND THEN NO ADS?! Absolute heaven. My only critiques are that I wish we could block more than three apps. I have more than three that I could probably stand to use a little less, so having to choose between my “lesser evils” can be difficult. I’ve also noticed that the unblock timer seems to drain my battery a little, although I’m not sure whether that’s something within your control or simply an iOS limitation. Overall, though, I absolutely love this concept and execution!

Surprisingly, this week I noticed that the app actually gave me a love for reading. Thank you for developing it.
