Reading Sessions

Sessions are how Book Reading Habit tracks your reading time. Start one when you sit down to read, and the app takes care of the rest.

Session types

Choose the style that fits the moment — every type counts toward your streak and statistics.

Timed session

Set a time limit and read with a countdown. Great for fitting reading into a busy day.

Open-ended session

No limit — read as long as you like and end the session when you stop.

Manual entry

Log reading you did away from the app by entering the time and pages afterwards.

Extending your reading time

Extending a running reading session

Extending a running reading session

In the flow and the timer is running out? Extend the session on the fly instead of ending it — your progress and statistics keep counting in the same session.

  1. 1 When a timed session is near its end, the app offers to extend it
  2. 2 Pick how much extra time you want to add
  3. 3 Keep reading — the countdown continues with the added time

No pressure to stop

Extending keeps everything in one session, so your session history reflects how you actually read — one long sitting instead of several fragments.

Pause & resume

Life happens. Pause a session at any moment and resume exactly where you left off — the time you were away is not counted as reading.

Session recovery

If the app closes unexpectedly during a session, your reading session is recovered automatically the next time you open it. No lost progress.
