Measure the time you actually stayed.
A tab left open is not reading. Skimora counts only the minutes you spend with the page in front of you and your attention on it.

You cannot tell how long you really read
Screen time counts every open tab. Reading time only counts when you were there, and that is the number that tells you whether the habit is working.
What you get
Attention, not speed
Skimora has no reading-speed score. It measures whether you stayed with the page, not how fast you moved.
Free: today
Today's deep-reading minutes show in the popup and, if you like, as a badge on the toolbar icon. You also get a session share card: a 1200 by 630 image with a caption copied to your clipboard.
Licensed: your history
A past-year heatmap (53 weeks by 7 days), an opt-in streak, your personal best and a look back at last week, plus a week share card with your name if you set one.
Set the bar
A block counts as deep reading once it reaches a minimum length. The default adapts between 2 and 10 minutes, or you can fix it at 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20.
The rules
| Rule | How it works |
|---|---|
| It counts when | The tab is visible and focused, and you scrolled, typed, clicked, or a pacer was running within the idle window. |
| Leaving the tab | You get a 10 second grace before the block pauses. |
| Going idle | 2 minutes without activity ends the block. |
| Too short | Blocks under 30 seconds are dropped. |
What you can change
| Setting | What you can change |
|---|---|
| Minimum block | Adaptive from 2 to 10 minutes, or fixed at 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 20 |
| Toolbar badge | On or off in Settings |
| Streak | Opt in |

Questions about Deep Reading Time
Does Skimora measure my reading speed?
No. It measures deep reading time, meaning unbroken, attentive minutes. It deliberately has no speed score.
Who can see my reading history?
Only you. It is stored on your device and never uploaded.
What is the share card?
A picture of a session or a week that you can share if you want to. It makes no speed claims, and sharing is always your choice.
