The reading timer

Half an hour with a book and nothing else. The dial sits quietly at the edge of vision, giving up a ring every minute and a half, and the double chime at the end is the first sound it makes.

Why time reading at all?

A set half hour puts a boundary around the book, which keeps the phone out of reach. Most people read further in one timed sitting than in scattered minutes.

What if I want a longer session?

Set any length you like on the timer. Thirty minutes is preloaded because it is long enough to sink into a chapter and short enough to fit before bed.
