FAQ

Building better reading habits

Everything you need to know about creating a reading habit that lasts.

How is this different from other habit trackers?
Most habit trackers are all-or-nothing. Bookie understands that reading habits need flexibility. Miss a day? No problem. Read just one page? That's progress worth celebrating.
What if I keep starting books but never finishing them?
Bookie's progress tracking helps you see how close you are to finishing, which motivates completion. Plus, you can set smaller daily goals that feel achievable.
How long does it take to build a reading habit?
Research shows habits form in 21-66 days. Bookie's gentle approach helps you build consistency without the pressure that often leads to giving up.
Can I track different types of reading goals?
Yes! Set goals by pages, minutes, or books. Start small and build up. The app adapts to your natural reading pace.
What if I'm a slow reader?
Perfect! Bookie celebrates progress at any pace. Whether you read 1 page or 100, it all counts toward building your habit.
Will I get overwhelmed by notifications?
Never. Reminders are optional and gentle. You control when and how often you want encouragement, if at all.
What if I fall off the wagon?
Just start again! Bookie doesn't shame you for breaks. Life happens, and sustainable habits account for that reality.
