ADHD Reader: Speed Reading
Read Faster. Stay Focused.
$28.99
v1.2: RSS feed reader, reading stats & streaks, 6 highlight colors, Focus Bold, Dark/Light/Sepia themes, new fonts, and iCloud settings sync.
ADHD Reader is a native macOS speed reading app built for minds that won't slow down. Using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) technology, it displays one word at a time at the center of your screen — eliminating eye movement, reducing distraction, and keeping your focus exactly where it needs to be.
HOW IT WORKS
Words flash one at a time at your chosen speed. A bionic highlight on each word's key letters gives your brain an anchor point, making it effortless to stay locked in — even at high speeds.
FEATURES
• Adjustable reading speed from 150 to 1,000+ WPM
• Bionic reading highlights on every word
• Smart pause — longer words automatically get extra display time
• Screen sleep prevention while reading
• Share any webpage from Safari directly to ADHD Reader
• Resume where you left off with automatic progress tracking
• Full keyboard controls — space to pause, arrows to skip
SUPPORTED FORMATS
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, Pages, RTF, Markdown, and plain text. Import from a file, paste text directly, or share any URL from Safari or Chrome.
PRIVACY
ADHD Reader collects zero data. No analytics, no account required, no network requests except when you explicitly import a URL. Your reading is completely private.
ONE PRICE. YOURS FOREVER.
No subscription. No in-app purchases. Buy it once and own it.
