Book Reading Habit
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Book Reading Habit to help people read more consistently, starting with something simple: short reading sessions that feel easy enough to stick with.
The idea came from my own experience. I started with short reading sessions — just 5 to 10 minutes at a time — because it felt easy enough to stick with. Over time, I gradually increased the session length, and that small habit worked surprisingly well. Eventually, I wanted an app built around that experience, so I made one.
Book Reading Habit is designed to make reading feel simple, motivating, and sustainable. It currently includes features like:
Build a reading habit with short sessions, flexible timers, and reading progress tracking
Capture notes whenever you want — while reading or later
Organize books with custom shelves
Use widgets and Siri Shortcuts for quicker access
Import and export your library
One of the biggest priorities while building it was privacy.
A lot of apps today depend on ads or social features that turn everything into a public activity. I wanted the opposite: a calmer, more personal reading experience. So Book Reading Habit is built to help you focus on reading without ads, unnecessary noise, or social pressure.
The app has a free version that lets you add up to 5 books, with unlimited sessions and shelves. If you want more, there are monthly, yearly, and lifetime upgrade options that unlock features like import/export, automations, unlimited books, and more.
I’d love your feedback:
What feels most useful?
What feels missing?
Short sessions are exactly what works — starting with 10 minutes and gradually increasing is much more sustainable than telling yourself you will read an hour a day. Curious how the notes work. Can they be linked to a specific page or chapter or is it more of a general notebook per book?

Hi @klara_minarikova,
Yes, they can be linked to specific pages. So if you make a note while reading, it’ll automatically be tied to the page you’re on. You can also add voice notes and transcribe them into text, which is handy when you just want to capture something quickly. But you can also keep general notes for the book if you don’t want to attach them to a specific page.
As goodreads remains one of the biggest players on the market, can the data from there be imported/synced or would hve to manually insert it?

Hey @viktorgems ,
Yes, you can import your Goodreads library. Just export your data as a CSV from Goodreads and import it into Book Reading Habit app, so there’s no need to add everything manually. Import/export is available as a Pro feature.
I love this idea, I know so many individuals out there that have such a large TBR stack that never seems to dwindle. I also can see this help non readers get into reading by starting slow and learning to enjoy it versus getting forced into reading.
This launch reminds me there are so many books I've purchased which I've not read. I should start reading.
