ReadSlow isn't another "save it for later" tool.
It's a small ritual for actually finishing one article a day —
bilingual support is just the handrail that makes that easier.
—— Why this app exists ——
You can read English/French/German/Chinese..., but don't always have the energy to push through a few thousand words.
You'd love to just read the translation, but don't want to lose the feel of the original.
Your "to-read" list keeps growing, while the list of things you've actually finished barely moves.
If that sounds like you, ReadSlow is built for you.
—— How it helps you "finish" ——
◎ Today's Article — one a day
Each day, you focus on a single foreign language article you chose.
Not "how many you've saved" — only "which one you read today."
◎ Bilingual side-by-side reading
A reading space designed for long-form text, with the original and the translation side by side.
The default nudges you toward the original; when you get stuck, the translation is one tap away.
No guilt for glancing at the translation.
◎ Light rhythm and feedback
Date, current streak, a small mark — light feedback that turns "one a day" into a habit.
No points, no badges — just the quiet line: "I actually read this one today."
◎ A 7-article reading queue
Your queue holds at most 7 articles. Want to add an 8th? Remove one first.
This isn't a bug — it's the feature.
A number you can see the end of forces one question: "Are these 7 the ones I truly want to read?"
◎ Queue and history, two separate lines
The queue is "who's up next."
History is "what I've already read."
Finish an article and it moves from queue to history — a simple pipeline.
—— What it isn't ——
Not an all-in-one translator.
Not a content library.
Not driven by points or badges.
Every feature serves a single goal: making it easier to finish today's article.
—— One last thing ——
In an age where scrolling short videos and feeds has become the default, sitting down to finish a few-thousand-word foreign language article has become something rare, something quietly worth being proud of.
ReadSlow only wants to help you do that small thing, once a day.
