Stasis: The Quiet Way to Read Fast.
One word. One point of stillness. Stasis is a reading sanctuary — a minimalist RSVP speed reader that streams your books through a single focal point. Your eyes stay still. Your mind moves fast.
The Science of Stillness
Traditional reading is quietly exhausting. Your eyes leap from word to word, stumble, circle back — most of your energy spent on the journey, not the meaning. Stasis removes the journey. Each word arrives exactly where your eyes already rest, and your brain processes language at its natural, unhurried speed.
Focus, Refined
— The RSVP engine: fluid delivery from 50 to 1,000 WPM
— Paced comprehension: micro-pauses that breathe with the punctuation, so speed never costs understanding
— An interface that vanishes: no scrolling, no page-turns, no noise
— Ambient sound: rain, fireplace, birdsong — a room tone for your reading
— OLED-deep themes and serif typography, tuned for long sessions
For Every Kind of Reader
Restless attention, wandering focus, or dyslexia — the portal meets you where you are. Choose from curated reading fonts including OpenDyslexic, Atkinson Hyperlegible, and Lexend.
Your Library, Accelerated
Import EPUBs and PDFs or paste any text. Chapters, table of contents, and progress are preserved — your "to-read" pile quietly becomes a "finished" list.
A Habit, Not a Chore
Streaks that forgive. Monthly reading reports that celebrate what you did — never guilt for what you didn't. Watch your pace grow, then share your month as a single beautiful card.
Everywhere You Read
A free account backs up your library and syncs your progress across devices. Close the app on the train, reopen it on the couch — the next word is waiting.
Read faster. Stay longer. That's Stasis.
Love the app. The UX is almost perfect. First app like this that is doable for ebooks. Just have a few small issues that I think would make a little more usable. It would be great if long words showed on the screen a little longer. Especially in fantasy novels a new name just flashes across and you don’t have time to absorb it. Second, it seems like it doesn’t detect chapter breaks but it could be the book I’m reading. But there should be some sort of pause or something so you know it’s a new scene. Also long dashes cause multiple words on the screen at the same time and “…” after a word shows each dot as a separate word.
Developer Response
Thanks a lot for the review! Such feedback is especially valuable! Regarding the pause on chapters, plz double-check that you have this “Chapter announcement” ON in settings(it should be by default), it would pause on every chapter present in Table of contents. If it is already ON, then it must be an issue with how we parse it. We improve it continuously but it is a painstaking process, considering the amount of different corner cases. Especially for PDFs. And that is why your feedback is especially helpful, thx again!
Incredible - a few suggestions
itsethanol
Amazingly designed, what an awesome app. A couple things that could be fixed/added:- on an epub, some words are mashed together when a new line is made without a space after the previous word- a table of contents feature for epubs
Developer Response
Thanks a lot for the review, itsethanol! I have to admit, text formatting for the RSVP format is challenging - especially for PDFs - and there are a ton of corner cases to address. That makes your feedback even more valuable!We are already investigating the 'mashed words' issue. Regarding the TOC: this feature is available for both EPUB and PDF. If you don't see it (top center), it means either the file doesn’t have one or a bug has slipped through.I'm sorry to take up more of your time, but it would be super helpful if you could share more details (book name/link would be great) so we can pin down the particular book and test it. You can do so here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaZPAvT8sJBYDFVVAUBTcpSOHjPaES5ACBM9tk_mNx7F7B_A/viewform?pli=1Thanks in advance!
Love it- Could be better!
jokes on you buster
Today is the first day of me using the app. I like it quite a bit so far- but as someone who’s read ebooks before, it’s quite time consuming to find my way to where I was. If there was some feature like a word search or a novel page browser so I could find where I left off, it would get 5 stars from me. Please, don’t ever include some stupid micro transactions. I would pay a couple bucks for the app but no micro transactions.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! Actually, the Search feature just arrived in the latest version! You can find it right behind the Table of Contents icon on the reader screen. If that is what you were looking for, please consider that 5th ⭐!
Good but could be better.

I like this a lot but I have a few suggestions: I wish it had a hold to play or hold to pause option instead of tap to pause and play. It would be cool if you can hold to pause and then scroll up and to go to rewind and then swipe side to side to adjust wpmI also like the idea of hold to play because it means your thumb is on the word. Because it’s an intentional action that makes it so it requires your attention.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review, Lenle! This is a very interesting idea. We will definitely consider it as a feature; however, it would require careful testing from various UX angles.Implementing this could bring its own challenges, such as thumb fatigue, accidental lifts, or conflicts with existing gestures. That said, it seems like a great fit for short, focused sessions.Thanks again - feedback like this is super valuable!
