- Worth noticing
- Four reading modes range from one-word RSVP to a marked paragraph view, with optional 10-, 20-, or 30-minute sessions.
Field notes
The reader accepts EPUB, TXT, and HTML files and presents them through four distinct views: RSVP, Focus, Sentence, and Paragraph. Its settings include reading speed, type size, spacing, theme, and font, while Focus Session adds a quiet countdown with optional fullscreen and screen-wake controls. The homepage states that parsing and saving happen locally and that the tool works offline, but the supplied evidence does not independently verify those implementation claims.
