Bookidoro: Pomodoro for Books
Read a page every work break
Free · In‑App Purchases
New: 78,000 free classics built in. Pick one in a click, and Bookidoro brings you a page or two after every work session. Never during your calls.
Finish more books without finding time to read. Bookidoro turns your work breaks into reading breaks: after each focus session, the next page of your book appears right on your Mac. Read, click Done, get back to work.
One or two pages per break adds up fast. Six breaks a day is about a book a month, read in the minutes you used to spend scrolling.
HOW IT WORKS
• Work as usual. Bookidoro waits quietly in the menu bar and counts your focus time (10 to 60 minutes, your choice).
• When the break comes, a calm panel opens with just the next 1–5 pages, the rest of your screen softly blurred.
• Click Done and the timer starts again. Your place is always saved.
78,000 FREE CLASSICS BUILT IN
No book handy? Browse public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg right inside the app: philosophy, short stories, adventure, science fiction, poetry and children's classics. Search by title or author, filter by language, and start reading in one click.
READ YOUR WAY
• Keep reading → when you're in the flow, or look back at the previous page.
• Turn pages with the arrow keys, skip a break with Esc, or snooze until tomorrow.
• Pomodoro long breaks: every 4th break brings a few extra pages.
• End here: stop on any page and the next break starts exactly there.
• Works with PDF and DRM-free EPUB books.
NEVER IN YOUR WAY
• Breaks wait while your microphone, camera or screen sharing is on, so they never interrupt a call.
• Away from your Mac? The break waits until you're back.
• The panel opens without stealing keyboard focus from what you're typing.
EASY ON THE EYES
• Paper, Sepia and Night page themes, applied to PDFs too.
• Adjust text contrast from the Aa button while you read.
WATCH THE PILE GET SMALLER
• Daily pages, reading streaks and your pace.
• An estimated finish date for every book.
• A look back when you finish: pages, breaks and the day you started.
EVERY MAC, SAME PAGE
Your library, reading positions, statistics and settings sync through your own iCloud. Read a few pages on your laptop and continue on your desktop.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account and no sign-up. Your books and everything you read stay on your Mac. Call detection only checks whether the microphone or camera is in use and never listens. Optional anonymous usage statistics never include titles or anything you read, and one switch turns them off.
Made for the Mac: menu bar only, no Dock icon, settings laid out like System Settings. Available in English, German and Georgian.
Your next break could be a chapter.
