## What is Cadence?

Cadence helps you stay with what you're reading. The page fills in word by word at the pace you set, so your eyes always know where to go, and there's never a wall of words waiting.

STAY FOCUSED
The words arrive in the order you read them, at a steady pace. Your eyes follow along, and the pace carries you on when your mind would wander. Tap anywhere to pause.

NEVER OVERWHELMED
Each page starts empty and fills as you read. Only the words you've reached are on the screen, so there's nothing ahead to skim and no place to lose. When you'd rather see it all, the full text is a tap away.

A PAGE THAT SUITS YOU
Tell Cadence what makes reading harder, if anything, and it suggests a font, size and background that some people find easier. Choose your own pace, in light or dark, and change any of it whenever you like.

STAY WITH IT
Set a daily reading goal, get a gentle reminder if you'd like one, and watch your week fill with the books you read. Highlight what you want to keep, and find it again later.

BOOKS TO BEGIN WITH
A library of classics to start reading straight away, each with a cover made for Cadence, all in the public domain where you are. With Cadence Pro, bring your own EPUBs and text.

CADENCE PRO
Three hours of paced reading are free every month, and the full text is always free. Cadence Pro makes paced reading unlimited, and adds:
• Your own books: EPUBs and text you own, read the Cadence way
• Sync between your iPhone and iPad: your library, places and highlights
• Family Sharing with up to five family members

Cadence Pro is monthly or yearly, and the yearly plan starts with a free week. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

FOR EVERY READER
Cadence supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion and dark mode.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase. Cadence Pro renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. If you start a free trial, any unused part of it ends when you subscribe.
