LectorApp
How it works
- Set the pages you want to read each day.
- Read and update the page you're on.
- Watch the bar fill up to "Goal reached!".
How many pages to read a day
Pick a number you can hit even on a bad day. For reference, for a book of about 330 pages:
| Pages a day | Pages a year | Books a year (330 pages each) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 3,650 | about 11 |
| 20 | 7,300 | about 22 |
| 30 | 10,950 | about 33 |
Indicative calculation: pages a day × 365 ÷ 330 pages per book.
How it connects to the rest
- Streak: hitting the goal every day feeds your streak.
- Statistics: you see your pages per day in reading statistics.
- Reminders: a nudge at your time helps you hit it.
