Kinetic Reader: Private PDF

Read at the speed of thought. Kinetic Reader brings your books, articles, and documents to life word by word. Tune your pace, keep your focus, and actually remember what you read, all stored privately on your device.

Welcome to the massive 2.0 update! We have completely rebuilt the experience with an enlarged reading window, an upgraded codebase, and powerful new customization options. Plus, Kinetic Reader is now free to start.

WHAT IS NEW IN 2.0

Expanded Reading Window: A larger, cleaner interface designed for absolute focus. Simply tap the reading window to pause or resume playback.

Multiple Document Library: Build your personalized library. Each document retains its own bookmarks and reading position.

8 Color Themes: Pick the palette that suits your eyes and your environment, from warm sepia to true midnight.

Expanded Chunk Ranges: Group words into larger visual chunks to match your exact processing speed and rhythm.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO READ FASTER

Precision Speed Control: Dial in any pace from 200 to 800 WPM. Adjust on the fly mid-session, and the app will remember your preference.

Retention Mode: Reading is only useful if it sticks. Retention Mode pauses playback at set intervals and prompts you to recall what you just covered.

Focus Highlight: Each word appears centered and clean, with an optional focal point highlight to anchor your eyes and eliminate wandering attention.

Smart Navigation: Chapters are auto-detected in your text. Jump forward or back by chapter with a single tap, or scrub to any position.

Instant Bookmarks: Drop a bookmark anywhere mid-read and jump back instantly. Never lose your place.

Accessibility First: Customize font sizes, word spacing, and line spacing. Use full-opacity contrast for secondary text and an optional portrait lock.
