The Story of Read to Unlock: App Blocker

I used to finish entire days and realize I hadn't read a single page. Not because I didn't want to — I had a stack of books on my nightstand. I just kept picking up my phone instead. I tried every blocker. Deleted apps. Set timers. Made deals with myself. Nothing held longer than a week, because nothing gave me a reason to choose differently. Then one night I thought: what if the apps weren't the enemy? What if they were just in the wrong place in the sequence? I built Read to Unlock as a personal experiment. Read a page, earn the scroll. It worked — not because it punished me, but because it made reading the path of least resistance. If you've tried everything and nothing has stuck, this was built for you.
