SpotLight — built for restless minds
Most reading apps give you text. FocusReader gives you a spotlight.
As you read, a gentle glow tracks your gaze and dims the rest of the page — keeping your eyes and attention anchored to exactly one line. When your mind starts to wander, the light pulls it back before you even notice.
Designed for people with ADHD, anxiety, or anyone who finds their eyes jumping ahead, re-reading the same paragraph, or losing their place entirely. The spotlight removes the visual noise that triggers distraction, so you actually finish what you start.
No highlighters. No timers. No shame. Just you and the line you're on.
