chapter lock
become the reader you keep saying you want to be
“a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies” - George R.R. Martin
how to use chapter lock:
1. choose which apps to block
2. set your reading goal
3. read a specific number of pages, or for a set number of minutes
4. unlock your apps and move on with your day feeling refreshed
if you want to read more and scroll less, chapter lock helps you get there with a simple rule: before you open distracting apps, you read.
