Set a reading session, read until the alarm, and stop there if you want to. The point is the daily habit, not the marathon.
20 minutes remaining of 20 minutes
Want to read every day? Make it a daily habit.
Keeps time in a background tab. Works on a phone. No account, no ads.
Most people who want to read more do not need more time; they need a reason to start. Twenty minutes is small enough to fit into almost any day and adds up to a lot of books over a year. A timer turns "I should read" into a session with a beginning and an end, which is much easier to keep doing.
Twenty minutes at the same time each day, most often before bed or on the commute.
Ten or fifteen minutes of reading aloud, with a visible end they can see coming.
A session with the book and a notebook, then a break.
The same twenty minutes that would have gone to the phone.
It starts at 20 minutes. The presets underneath switch to another length in one click, and the custom field takes any number of minutes.
The ring starts emptying and the tab title counts down, so you can see the time left from another tab.
Switch tabs, lock the phone, let the laptop sleep. It counts to a fixed end time, so it stays correct.
A chime repeats until you stop it, and a browser notification arrives if you allowed one. Reset to go again.
Make reading a daily habit in EvyOS and it tracks the streak for you, forgives the odd missed day rather than resetting to zero, and shows a year of reading at a glance.
EvyOS holds the goals, projects, tasks, habits and skills the timer is in service of, and keeps the streak of the sessions you actually did.
