Finally, an app that lets you speed read your actual books.
You've seen those viral "How Fast Can You Read?" videos — words flashing one at a time, pulling you in. That technique is called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), and it works because your eyes stay fixed while the words come to you.
Reed brings RSVP to your real library. Import your EPUBs, and read them one word at a time — at your pace.
📖 HOW IT WORKS Words appear one at a time at a fixed point on screen. A red "pivot" character keeps your eyes anchored. No scanning, no backtracking — just reading.
⚡ FEATURES • Adjustable speed: 100–1000 words per minute • Punctuation-aware pacing (pauses after sentences) • Tap to pause, hold to pause, swipe to scrub • Table of contents navigation • Progress saving — pick up where you left off • Portrait and landscape modes • Import books or paste text from clipboard • Do Not Disturb mode while reading
🎨 THEMES • Light — warm cream tones • Dark — easy on the eyes • OLED Black — true black for battery saving
🌍 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, Norwegian
🔒 PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No ads. Your books stay on your device.
We all have tsundoku — that pile of unread books. Reed turns waiting rooms, commutes, and lunch breaks into reading time.
15 minutes at 300 WPM = ~4,500 words = ~15 pages.
Stop scrolling. Start reading.

First open testing release of Reed. Reed is currently an EPUB reader focused on fast, distraction-free reading.
Support for other file types exists, but EPUB is the format we currently recommend for testing.
