2.0.1
September 30, 2026
A fresh look, and proof that you're actually reading. • New design — flatter, calmer, and easier to read at a glance. Redesigned home, stats and session screens throughout • Comprehension tests — after a session, answer a few quick questions about the pages you just read and get a recall score right next to your WPM. Skippable, always. • Reading sweet spot — once you've tested a handful of sessions, Stats shows the speed band where your recall peaks, and where it starts to drop off. Plus deeper breakdowns of your average, personal best, weekly trend and most productive time of day.
