About this app
Rediscover the joy of reading. Time to Read is your companion for building a lasting reading habit – private, distraction-free, and elegantly designed.
Manage your library, track your reading time, and capture your favorite quotes without your data ever leaving your device.
WHY TIME TO READ?
• Pure focus: No ads, no subscription, no sign-up. Just you and your books.
• Privacy-first: All data stays local on your iPhone or iPad. No cloud requirement, no tracking.
• iOS integration: Use Live Activities on your Lock Screen, interactive widgets, and Siri Shortcuts.
CORE FEATURES:
- Library Management
Browse millions of books via OpenLibrary or add them manually. Organize by "Currently Reading", "Want to Read", or "Finished".
- Reading Timer & Live Activities
Start a session to track your time. Your progress is displayed live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
- Smart Notes & OCR Scan
Scan book pages with your camera (OCR). Our local "Semantic Search" understands context – search for "hope" to find matching quotes, even if the word doesn't appear.
- Goals & Statistics
Set daily or yearly reading goals. Keep your streak alive and view detailed charts of your reading behavior.
- AI Greetings (On-Device)
Receive motivational messages generated locally on your device, tailored to your current progress.
OFFLINE & SECURE
Everything works without an internet connection – from the timer to semantic search. Your reading history belongs only to you.
