About this app

Read faster, focus longer, and eliminate visual crowding with readHD — the cognitive-first reading app engineered specifically for readers with ADHD, dyslexia, executive fatigue, or visual strain.

Traditional e-readers flood your screen with overwhelming walls of text. readHD rewires how you read by breaking down complex PDFs, EPUBs, and documents into visually bounded, high-focus channels tailored to your brain.

WHY READERS WITH ADHD AND DYSLEXIA LOVE READHD:

1. FIXATION & PREFIX ANCHORING
Automatically bolds the initial letters of every word to establish optimal visual fixation points. Your brain instantly anchors onto the word core, overriding visual crowding and enabling smooth eye movement across paragraphs.

2. SPOTLIGHT READING RULER
Isolate your line-by-line focus with an interactive horizontal spotlight ruler. Inactive text is softly dimmed while the active line stays crisp. Built-in line detection automatically skips empty lines so your flow is never interrupted.

3. COLOR GUIDE ZEBRA STRIPES
Perfectly separates lines with alternating translucent tints to eliminate horizontal pattern glare and visual stress.

4. AUTOPACED A/V SYNC & SPEECH ENGINE
Synchronize text highlights with speech engine playback! Enjoy effortless listening with Ghost Mode to hide inactive words while following along line-by-line or word-by-word.

5. RSVP SPEED PRESENTATION
Flashes single words sequentially using prefix anchoring in a centered focus channel at customizable speeds (up to 1,000 WPM). Eliminate eye scanning lag entirely for fast, low-fatigue reading.

6. CONTINUOUS VIEWPORT GRADIENTS
Apply subtle, low-contrast background gradient meshes (Sunset, Aurora, Sherbet, Ocean) designed by cognitive specialists to ease visual tracking and reduce visual strain.

7. BRING YOUR OWN KEY (BYOK) AI ASSISTANT
Connect your personal API key (Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or Groq) with 100% on-device privacy to:
- Explain complex passages in simple terms
- Extract punchy 3-bullet key takeaways
- Generate real-world analogies
- Automatically turn highlights and saved reading notes into active-recall study flashcards

8. DISTRACTION-FREE BRAIN DUMP
Got a pop-up thought while reading? Shake your device or tap the quick-pencil icon to offload distracting thoughts, questions, or action items into a local tagged notebook without losing your place in the book.
