iPhone
Actually finish the books on your shelf.
SlowShelf pairs a beautiful digital bookshelf with something most reading apps don't have: real focus sessions that block distracting apps using Apple's Screen Time — not just a timer that hopes you behave.
REAL APP BLOCKING, NOT JUST A TIMER
Start a focus session and SlowShelf uses Screen Time to actually block the apps that pull you away — Instagram, TikTok, whatever gets you — for the length of your session.
BUILD A READING STREAK
Track your daily reading habit with streaks and weekly stats. Watch your consistency grow, one session at a time.
YOUR BOOKSHELF, ORGANIZED
Keep a TBR list, track what you're currently reading, and log what you've finished. Search millions of titles to add books in seconds.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your library lives on your device. We don't sell your data or track your reading for ads.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add books to your shelf — search or browse
2. Start a focus session and pick how long you want to read
3. SlowShelf blocks distractions so you can actually read
SlowShelf Premium unlocks unlimited focus sessions and real app blocking, with a 3-day free trial. Monthly, annual, and lifetime plans available.
