FocusRead - ADHD Reader

Read better, faster.

FocusRead is a bionic reading app built for people with ADHD and dyslexia. We bold the leading letters of every word so your eyes lock onto the part that actually carries the meaning — letting you glide through text instead of struggling word-by-word.

WHAT IS BIONIC READING?

If you've ever finished a page and realized you don't remember a single sentence, FocusRead is for you. Bionic reading uses high-contrast typography to anchor your gaze, reduce eye-jumping, and improve comprehension. It has been a quiet game-changer for readers with attention difficulties, dyslexia, or anyone reading on a screen for hours.

FEATURES

• Bionic reading engine — leading letters of every word are bolded so your eyes glide forward
• Adjustable fixation — control exactly how many letters get bolded
• Saccade control — tune word-bolding density for shorter or longer visual jumps
• Focus mask — see only a few lines at a time with the rest gently dimmed. Scroll snaps to each line so you never lose your place.
• Distraction-free reading mode — hides chrome on scroll, taps to bring back controls
• Multiple file formats — PDF, EPUB, DOCX, RTF, and TXT (up to 40 MB)
• PDF text extraction — pulls clean text out of digital PDFs
• Built-in browser — apply bionic reading to any web article
• Export anywhere — save your reading as PDF, EPUB, DOC, or plain TXT
• 13 typefaces — Inter, Georgia, Helvetica, Verdana, system, and more
• 6 color themes — Classic, Warm Paper, Night, Forest, Ocean, Dusk
• Full typography control — font size, weight, line height, letter spacing, opacity
• Dark mode — easier on the eyes during long sessions

WHO IT'S FOR

✓ Readers with ADHD who need help staying focused
✓ Readers with dyslexia who find regular text taxing
✓ Students working through long PDFs and textbooks
✓ Professionals reading reports, contracts, or research papers
✓ Anyone who wants to read faster with the same comprehension

WHY FOCUSREAD

Most reading apps make you fight the layout. FocusRead changes the layout to fit how your brain actually reads. The bionic typography pulls your eye to the meaningful start of each word, while the focus mask cuts out the visual noise of surrounding text — so even long, dense documents stay readable for longer.

It works on anything you can drop into it: a textbook chapter, a legal contract, a Wikipedia article, an EPUB novel. Tune the controls once and FocusRead remembers your preferences for next time.

PRIVACY

FocusRead keeps your reading on your device. We don't upload your documents, we don't analyze your reading, and we don't share data with third parties. All settings are saved locally on your phone. The app shows a single banner ad to keep development sustainable — no subscriptions, no paywalls, no pop-ups.

Read better, faster. Built for ADHD and dyslexic readers, useful for everyone.
