Oren is a minimalist book tracker and reading companion for people who want to finish the books they care about, not just collect them
honestly needed this. my nightstand has like 6 books with bookmarks stuck at page 20 lol
the daily streak idea is smart, that's the only thing that ever keeps me consistent with anything. and love that there's no feed to scroll, that's usually what kills my reading time anyway.
nice work, grabbing it now 👏
mine is Sapiens, been "almost done" for a year 😃
@sanjay_tomar The nightstand pile of page-20 bookmarks is a universal problem 😄 Streaks are exactly the hook we leaned into, and cutting the feed was deliberate. Reading time shouldn’t compete with scrolling. Sapiens is a great one to finally close out. Thanks for grabbing it, hope Oren gets you to the last page 🙌
ok this is so me lol. I buy way more books than I actually finish 😅
love that it's not just another app to make a big list. the timer + streaks thing sounds like it'd actually get me to sit down and read. and no social feed is honestly a relief. congrats on the launch! downloading it now 🙌
the one I keep saying I'll finish? Atomic Habits… ironic I know 😂
@jay_nirmal31 Ha, the book-buying-to-finishing ratio is real 😄 That’s exactly why we built Oren's timer + streaks to actually get you in the chair, no feed to distract you. And Atomic Habits is the perfect one to break the streak on. Thanks so much for the download and the kind words 🙌
this is exactly the app I didn't know I needed 😅 my shelf is basically a graveyard of half-read books. the built-in timer + streaks combo is genius, that's the only thing that's ever kept me consistent. and zero social feed? instant yes, that's usually what eats my reading time. congrats on the launch, downloading now 👏
mine's Thinking, Fast and Slow… been on chapter 3 since forever 😂
@bhavik_maradiya1 Haha the “graveyard of half-read books” got me 😂 that’s honestly the exact shelf we built Oren for. So glad the timer + streaks combo clicks for you.
That’s the whole bet, small consistent sessions beat guilt-driven marathons every time. And yeah, no social feed was non-negotiable for us. Reading time is sacred 🙏
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.
Loved the feature of assisting with finding books I have been reading and landing on oren just using voice command with Siri. 😉
