LectorApp
How to set them up
- Open reminders.
- Pick the time you can usually read.
- Add up to five nudges a day if you need them.
Reminders are scheduled on your own phone.
Why they're positive
A nudge that scolds ends up muted. That's why LectorApp's reminders congratulate you when you've already read that day and push you kindly when you haven't.
When to set them
- Next to something you already do: your coffee, your commute or right before bed.
- One at a realistic time and, if needed, another as a backup in the evening.
- With a small goal: a daily page goal you can hit.
That protects your reading streak. More tips in the guide to building a reading habit.
Reminders that reinforce, not stress
With LectorApp's reminders you don't just remember not to lose your streak or to keep reading: if you've already read by the time the nudge arrives, it congratulates you.
- It's not just another app that creates anxiety to keep your streaks.
- Positive reinforcement: LectorApp reinforces the positive stimulus so you link reading with good things.
- That's what makes a habit last: reading more without feeling pressured.
