ToRead: Reading Timer

ToRead is free to use — no paywalls, no subscriptions, and no ads.
It’s designed to help you spend more time reading, without pressure, goals, or distractions.

Start a reading session, put your phone down, and just read. ToRead quietly tracks your reading time, so you can build awareness of your habits without gamification, streaks, or competition.

Designed for calm focus

• One tap to start reading
• Ambient sounds to help you relax (rain, ocean waves, birds, and more)
• Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (supported devices)
• Auto-end sessions, in case you forget
• Session history with editing and manual entries
• Home Screen widget with weekly reading stats
• Minimal interface that stays out of the way

Your reading time, simply recorded

ToRead focuses on time, not speed or performance. Whether you read for 2 minutes or 2 hours, every session counts. Your reading history helps you reflect on how reading fits into your life — without judging it.

Built with intention

• Designed for iPhone
• Light and dark themes designed for comfort
• iCloud sync (when enabled) to keep your data across devices
• Privacy-friendly: your data stays yours

For readers who just want to read

ToRead is for anyone who wants a quieter relationship with reading:
• No social feeds
• No challenges
• No productivity pressure

Just reading, at your own pace.

Read when you want. Stop when you want.
ToRead.
