## What is Read Forge?

Read Forge turns anything you can read into a stream of focused words, so you read faster with less effort. Instead of dragging your eyes across lines of text, Read Forge shows one word at a time in a fixed spot — your eyes stay still, and the text comes to you.

GET TEXT IN FROM ANYWHERE
• Highlight text in any app — Safari, Mail, Messages, anywhere — and tap Share → Copy to Read Forge
• Share a whole article page from your browser and Read Forge extracts the readable text, minus the menus, banners, and clutter
• Import books and documents: EPUB, PDF, TXT, and non-DRM MOBI, with chapter navigation
• Or just paste

READ YOUR WAY
• Focus mode: one word at a time, with an optional red anchor letter that holds your eye on the optimal recognition point
• Overview mode: a full block of text with a moving highlight, like following a finger across the page
• Tempo from a relaxed 120 up to 900 words per minute, with natural pauses at sentence and clause boundaries
• Six reading fonts, adjustable size, light and dark appearance

YOUR LIBRARY REMEMBERS
• Imported books are saved on your device with your reading position
• Scrub anywhere in a text, jump back a sentence, or restart a chapter
• Time-remaining estimate at your current pace

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your books, articles, and reading habits never leave your device.

Whether it's the morning news, a long read you've been putting off, or an entire novel — Read Forge helps you power through it, one focused word at a time.
