RISE 1.9.0 A big one. The app now opens on your Library. NEW • Library first. Your books are the first thing you see. The RISE tab moved to the right — same screens, better name. • Read2Rise Recommendations, reworked. Tap the row and six books from the guide drop down. Tap again, six different ones. Tap a cover to read why I picked it and add it in one tap. • League: TODAY / 7 DAYS / 30 DAYS. Rolling windows now — the board doesn't reset to zero on the 1st of the month or on a Monday morning. • Onboarding moves faster, and you can tap to skip ahead. FIXED • Screen time stats now load. They didn't. They do. • Lock screen pause/resume works. Tap it — it actually pauses. • Widgets and Live Activities now work on iOS 17 and up, not just 26. • A handful of book covers were the wrong edition, or the wrong language, or had a library barcode on them. All fixed. • The Stats header no longer reads "2 026". Still free. Every feature, no exceptions.

RISE IS NOW FREE. FOREVER. Every feature. No trial, no paywall, nothing locked. If you were paying, thank you — you made this possible. NEW: THE LEAGUE Compete on reading. See who read the most today, this week and this month — globally, or in private groups with your friends. Share a group code or an invite link and pull your mates in. Read-streaks show next to every name. NEW: READ2RISE RECOMMENDATIONS My personal reading guide, built into the app. 50 books across 19 categories, with a note on each one explaining why it's worth your time. Add any of them to your library in one tap. NEW: SCREEN TIME STATS See what's actually happening. Your daily screen time charted over 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year, against where you started — plus hours reclaimed, and how much less you scroll on days you read. NEW: A BLOCK SCREEN WORTH READING Tap a blocked app and RISE now tells you why you blocked it. ALSO • Support tiers for anyone who wants to back the project — an exclusive app icon and a profile badge, nothing more • Faster, cleaner library and reading stats Read a chapter. Take your time back.

Simplified the pricing screen — one clear choice: free reading tracker or premium unlock features.

Big update: RISE now has a free tier. Reading tracker, book library, and stats are free forever. The screen-time blocking + read-to-unlock features stay on the 7-day trial + subscription. New: • Add any book manually — perfect for niche titles or self-published books. Take a photo of the cover or pick from your library. • Tap your 2026 reading goal to see every book you've finished this year. • Swipe left on any library row to delete. Better: • Onboarding now explains what's free vs paid up front. • Whole library rows are tappable, not just the title. • Smarter summary verification recognizes niche books. • Sign in flow simplified — no more display name step. Fixed: • Manually added books keep the photo you took. • Wrong-book cover no longer appears when OpenLibrary doesn't have your title.

Fixed: quizzes occasionally showed the wrong book's questions. Fixed: deleted books returning after switching tabs. Fixed: reading calendar now tracks quizzes and summary verifications. Fixed: voice input no longer erases prior text when you pause and resume. Tightened summary verification to prevent gaming the unlock.

Auto-relock fix — apps now reliably block again the moment your unlock window ends. Unlock in 5-minute increments for finer control over your screen time.

NEW: Reading tracker with timer, page progress, and a live stats dashboard. Set a yearly reading goal and watch your streak grow. Smarter quiz accuracy on popular books. For niche books we don't know well, you can now verify by speaking or typing a chapter summary. Cleaner book detail pages. Bug fixes.

Your reading library now syncs reliably to the cloud and follows you across devices. Smoother first-time sign-in. Bug fixes and stability improvements.

Bug fixes and reliability improvements. Your reading library now syncs to the cloud and follows you across reinstalls.

RISE has been completely rebuilt. The leaderboard is gone — replaced with something that actually works. The new RISE blocks the apps stealing your attention and unlocks them only after you've read a chapter and passed a quiz on it. How it works now: • Block any apps you choose using Apple's Screen Time framework • Read a chapter of any non-fiction book to earn 30 minutes • Pass a 5-question comprehension quiz to verify you read it • Unlock time can be banked and used in 5-minute chunks • Optional 24-hour commitment lock — prevents impulsive 1am unblocks • Reading library tracks your progress, synced across your devices Built for people who already know phone usage is the problem and want a system that does the discipline for them.
