Glyphi is an RSVP speed reading app that helps you read books, PDF and EPUB documents, articles, web pages, and your own text with greater focus and efficiency. Most reading apps simply display text. Glyphi helps you read differently. By presenting words in a guided sequence, it reduces unnecessary eye movement, minimizes visual distractions, and helps you stay focused from the first word to the last. Instead of searching for your place, you can spend more time understanding and enjoying what you read. Whether you're reading books, ebooks, PDFs, research papers, textbooks, articles, or web content, Glyphi adapts to your pace and reading goals. Import your content, choose a comfortable reading speed, and switch between Single Word Mode and Flow Mode whenever you like. Whether you're studying, learning, working, or reading for pleasure, Glyphi helps you build a lasting reading habit while improving focus, concentration, and comprehension.

You can now keep track of your reading streak directly from the top navigation, making it easier to stay consistent with your reading habit. We've also added widget support, with new widgets for quickly continuing your reading and keeping an eye on your current streak. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-05 This update brings Glyphi to more readers around the world, with new support for Spanish, German, French, Turkish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Simplified Chinese, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish. We've also added customizable reader text colors, landscape reading support, and a new Long Words mode with five sensitivity levels that intelligently gives longer words a little more time based on your reading speed. PDF importing has been improved with experimental content detection that attempts to remove repeated headers and footers, helping Glyphi focus on the actual text. Since PDF files don't provide structured content, results may vary depending on the document. We've also improved text layout for languages with different writing systems, expanded EPUB compatibility, refined localized wording throughout the app, and made onboarding more consistent. Reader progress recovery is now more reliable, books open faster and respond more naturally across Library, Search, and Training, and we've made a variety of performance and interface improvements across the app. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-31 This update improves the Training experience with more reliable session launching and smoother transitions into the Reader. Starting a new training or resuming an existing one is now faster and more stable. We’ve also refined Reader timing for more accurate duration estimates, improved long-form X post imports, and resolved several performance and stability issues throughout the app. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-28 This update introduces Recently Deleted, making it easy to recover documents for up to 30 days. Imported documents now open directly in the Reader, and re-importing a deleted document restores your reading progress. We've also redesigned the import experience, improved free import limit tracking, introduced the new Glyphi app icon, and made various interface and stability improvements. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-27 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
