Oren

Overview

About Oren

I built Oren because my "to read" pile kept growing while my "finished" pile stayed the same. Every reading app I tried was great at helping me collect books, and terrible at helping me actually read them. So I flipped the idea. Oren isn't about cataloging your library. It's about building the habit of opening a book every single day. A few things that make it different: 📖 Focused reading sessions with a built in timer, so Oren learns your pace automatically 🔥 Streaks that give you a reason to come back tomorrow 🧘 A calm, distraction free space with no social feeds, no noise, no vanity metrics 📊 Notes, highlights, goals, and progress all in one clean home screen The whole philosophy is simple: less screen time, more pages read. Small sessions that compound into a real habit. It's built with love by the team of 4 people and it's now available on the App Store.

  If the philosophy is less screen time, does this means the app is not meant for people using eBook reader? 😃Anyway, I prefer eBook and I finished all the books I started so far, except Ulysses. That one is so difficult to read, but I will still not give up. Maybe this app will help.
