## What is Reed?

Reed helps you read books faster. It shows text one word at a time, right where your eyes already rest, with the key letter highlighted – the RSVP technique (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) – so you stop dragging your eyes across lines and start reading in a flow.

And unlike most speed readers, Reed never paywalls your own content. Import your EPUBs, PDFs and text files for free, and read them your way.

EASIEST SPEED READING
 - One word at a time, with the optimal focal letter marked
 - 2 modes: Hold-to-read & hands-free 
 - Set your speed (WPM) with a smooth warm-up ramp
 - Swipe to scrub back and forth, word by word

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES
 - Import EPUB, PDF and TXT, or paste any text
 - Share files straight into Reed from other apps
 - Everything stays on your device

TWO WAYS TO READ
 - Speed reader for flow
 - Classic reader that keeps EPUB formatting, images and chapters – plus a native PDF view with a paper page-curl

MAKE IT YOURS
 - 14+ color palettes, custom themes and imported fonts, dark and light
 - Fine-tune the on-screen word position
 - Highlights and bookmarks with a list to jump back
 - Search inside any document
 - Per-document filters to strip repeating headers and page numbers
 - Gentle eye-rest reminders

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Reed works fully offline and never sends your reading anywhere.
Free to download. Free to import. 

Just read — faster.
