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.
