Offshelf: Focus Reading Timer
Read More. Scroll Less.
Free · Designed for iPad
Track your reading by flipping your phone face-down. Build streaks, earn badges, and see your stats grow. Import from Goodreads. All data stays on your device.
Offshelf is the reading tracker that gets you off your phone and into your book.
Place your phone face-down to start a session. Pick it up when you're done. Your reading time, pages, and streaks are tracked automatically.
Import your entire library from Goodreads with a single CSV upload. Set daily and yearly reading goals. Earn badges as you build your habit. Watch your stats grow over time.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Add a book by scanning its barcode or searching by title
2. Flip your phone face-down to start reading (or use the manual timer)
3. Pick up your phone when you're done — your session is logged automatically
4. Track your pages, set goals, and watch your reading habit take shape
