Velo: Speed Reading & Focus

Read EPUBs & PDFs with Focus

Free · In‑App Purchases

Bring any EPUB or PDF you own — three free, no account. RSVP, Scrub, and Reader share one synced position, instant switching. 7-day free trial for Pro. Bring any EPUB, PDF, or text file you already own — import from Files or share it in from any app. Three of your own books are free, no account needed. Velo gets you through your backlog — without sacrificing comprehension. TWO MODES. ONE SEAMLESS POSITION. RSVP Mode — Words appear one at a time at your chosen speed, up to 1000 WPM. Eliminates subvocalization and eye wandering so you can read at your true thinking speed. The fastest way to read on a phone or tablet. Scrub Mode — Drag to scroll through text at variable speed with momentum physics. Slow down for dense passages, accelerate through familiar sections. A sliding context window keeps you oriented. Reader Mode — A beautiful, distraction-free page view with highlights and notes. For when you want to settle in and read at your natural pace. Both modes — and the Scrub ribbon between them — share your exact reading position. RSVP a chapter at 500 WPM, drop into Reader to re-read a key paragraph, then jump back to speed. No progress lost, ever. DROP A PDF. GET A REAL BOOK. Most readers treat PDFs like flat images. Velo's Smart Import pipeline automatically detects chapters, extracts footnotes, strips running headers, and resequences two-column academic layouts. Scanned books work too — Vision OCR extracts text from photographed pages and structures it into clean prose. Enhanced Processing uses AI to handle the most complex academic PDFs. Pro includes 20 Enhanced Processing conversions per month. Need more? Credit packs (10 for $4.99 or 50 for $19.99) never expire.

On-device processing handles EPUBs, text files, and standard PDFs — nothing leaves your phone.

We don't sell data, run ads, or track what you read.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Start with your own book. The first screen now opens the Files picker in one tap, or takes you on a 60-second tour. Neither is forced. Highlights and notes are free for everyone. Pro keeps sync and export. Sign in with Apple explains plainly when an Apple Account can't be used (for example a child account) and lets you keep reading without one. Sign-in screens are centered on iPhone. Small fixes throughout.
