Attention is a place
Reading is not merely seeing words. It is the quiet construction of meaning, one thought opening into the next.
A good reader creates room for that attention to settle.
The interface should help, then step away.
A reader for the way you actually read
The document disappears.
The words remain.
Open a PDF, book, or document and begin immediately. Read it your way, listen from any sentence, and return to the exact place you stopped.
Designed for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Core reading works offline.
