Pace Reader: Read with focus, clarity, and control
Pace Reader helps you read with intention by presenting text one word at a time, guiding your attention and reducing distractions. Whether you’re tackling PDFs, articles, or curated reading lists, Pace Reader turns reading into a focused, calm, and efficient experience.
Read one word at a time
At the heart of Pace Reader is a focused reading drill that displays text word by word at your chosen pace. This approach helps minimize mind-wandering, improve comprehension, and reduce visual overload, especially helpful for long or dense material.
Control your pace
Adjust your reading speed in words per minute to match your comfort level. Pause, rewind, or jump back by a set number of words at any time. Pace Reader adapts to you, not the other way around.
Upload and read PDFs
Bring your own reading material into the app by uploading PDFs. Pace Reader automatically prepares your documents so you can read them using the same focused, word-by-word experience.
Keep a list of reads
Maintain a personal library of PDFs and reading sessions. Switch between different reads easily and pick up exactly where you left off, no need to remember your place.
Prune your library as needed
Stay organized by removing PDFs you no longer need. Keep your reading list clean, relevant, and focused on what matters right now.
Designed for calm and concentration
Pace Reader features a clean, dark interface designed to reduce visual noise and keep your attention on the text. Subtle cues and minimal controls ensure the reading experience stays distraction-free.
