You "don't have time to read." You spent 90 minutes on TikTok last night.
An evening text, plus a number you won't want to lose: "Did you read for 20 minutes today? Reply YES or NO. Current streak: 12 days."

What happens when you ignore us
Every other app you ignore. This one notices.
No escalation
Nothing dramatic. Nobody gets a text, no alarm goes off. It is just you, the streak you are about to break, and us asking again tomorrow.
- How often
- 1x daily (evening)
- Streaks
- We count every day you show up. Miss one and it resets to zero. It stings more than you would expect.
- Weekly report
- Once a week we send the receipts: what you did, what you skipped, and the streak you are defending.
The whole setup, by text
No form, no app store, no password. You answer a couple of questions and you're live.
Text 1
Text 2
Takes about 11 seconds. We timed it.
What it costs
No per-skill surprises. ReadingStreak is one skill, billed with everything else you turn on.
$2/mo
One skill. This one, if it's the one.
$7/mo
Five skills. ReadingStreak counts as one of them.
Questions you're already asking
Does the 20 minutes have to be all at once?
No. Ten on the train and ten before bed counts. Set your own goal in setup if 20 isn't your number. Reply YES if you hit it, NO if you didn't.
What makes this work when willpower didn't?
The streak. The text shows your running count, so reading stops competing with the phone on willpower and starts competing on "don't break the chain," which you win far more often.
What if I read but forget to reply?
Reply YES when you see it; a late answer still counts that day. The nightly text doubles as the reminder, which is half of why the habit sticks.
How do I cancel?
Text CANCEL READ and we stop. No phone call, no retention rep, no guilt trip.
Does it work on my phone?
It's SMS. If your phone can send a text, it works. No app to download, no smartphone required.
If this isn't your problem
Same category, different nag. One of these might be the one you actually need.
You read the whole page.
Just start.
ReadingStreak kicks in the second you text in. The hard part was scrolling this far.
