It estimates the time remaining to finish reading a text (such as articles, notes, or books), providing a smoother reading experience and helping users pace their reading sessions. In short: [Reading Time Plugin](https://github.com/avr/obsidian-reading-time): Optimized for writing and keeping notes concise. This plugin: Optimized for reading and tracking reading progress/time left. # How to turn on Remaining reading time on Obsidian mobile [Animated instruction](https://github.com/ununnamed/remaining-reading-time/blob/main/MOBILE_VERSION.md)
