ToRead: Reading Timer

ToRead is free to use, with no ads. The timer, your reading history and weekly reflection are free for everyone.
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 and ocean waves, with more in ToRead Plus
• Your reading time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (ToRead Plus)
• Auto-end sessions, in case you forget
• Session history with editing and manual entries
• A Books page to rename, finish, archive or bring back a book
• A weekly widget for the Home and Lock Screen (ToRead Plus)
• 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.

ToRead Plus

ToRead Plus adds a few comforts: your reading time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, the weekly Home Screen widget, every ambient sound, and each new sound pack as it arrives.

Pay once, keep it forever. If you used ToRead before Plus existed, everything it had then stays yours, with nothing to do.
