Turn reading time into real-world rewards your whole family creates together. The first reading app built for everyone - kids, parents & grandparents.
YOMU helps families turn reading into a habit kids actually look forward to. Independent reading gets tracked, celebrated, and tied to real-world rewards your family creates together - so the motivation comes from inside your home, not from a screen.
YOMU is the first reading app built for the whole family, not just kids. Parents can have their own profile, track their own reading, and earn rewards too. Because the best way to raise a reader is to be one - and now the whole family can be in it together.
One device works for everyone. Add a profile for each child and one for yourself, then switch in a tap. Perfect for younger readers who don't have their own phone, and for families who want shared reading moments.
How it works:
Readers log their reading time, build daily streaks, earn achievements for consistency, and discover book recommendations curated by age and interests. Time a session live, or add one manually after the fact - perfect for reading that happens away from the phone, like at school. As they read, they earn gems, which the whole family can redeem toward rewards you create together. Reading becomes something the family does, celebrates, and rewards together.
Free forever for tracking. An optional subscription unlocks Family Rewards for parents who want to take a more active role in motivating reading.

We really love the YOMU app! Our kids are all tracking their reading sessions on it, and they love the reactions from the cute little icons, as well as earning gems they can “spend” on activities and experiences they enjoy.As a parent, I love that I can see how many sessions of reading they’re logging and also keep a log of what books they’ve read this year. As a book logger myself 🤣, I think this is a great way to review your reading habits and celebrate the different stories you’ve read.They just had an update where you can toggle between readers for seasons which is the best update they could’ve made!! Definitely made tracking easier for my two kids that share a device.The team has been really responsive to feedback and we’re excited to continue using YOMU!

Thanks so much for the review and for the product feedback, Deena! We're all parents ourselves, and are working hard to make YOMU valuable for families who are eager to create strong lifelong reading habits with their children. As you noted, we love getting user feedback, and try to be very responsive to it. Keep it coming, so we can make YOMU better and better for you and your child! 🙏📚
The amount of reading is AMAZING!

My kids have read more in the last month than they have in the last year. The reward system is customizable and we can tailor the reward values to fit our family. The ease of this app is top notch - the kids are able to add new books, clock their time, and request rewards on their own, thereby making it more accessible for them to use. We LOVE the YOMU app!
really good

Family Rewards are here - for the whole family (grandparents too!)
Turn reading time into real-world rewards your family creates together - movie nights, treats, experiences, whatever motivates your reader.
- Everyone earns gems for time spent reading
- Create custom rewards for the whole family - kids, parents & grandparents
- Redeem gems and celebrate the moment together
Also new: profiles for everyone. One device works for the whole family. Add a profile for each child and one for yourself, then switch in a tap. Because kids read more when they see the adults around them reading.
