Dyslexia Browser is a web browser built for dyslexic readers. Calm colors, clear dyslexia-friendly fonts, a clutter-free reader view and natural read aloud on every website you visit, so reading online feels easier. COLOUR OVERLAY ON ANY PAGE Lay a soft tinted filter over every website to ease glare and visual stress and help words stay still. Pick from yellow, peach, pink, lilac, blue, aqua, green or grey, or mix your own color, then set the strength. Tap the glasses button to switch it on or off. READER VIEW WITHOUT THE CLUTTER Tap Aa on any article to see just the words: no adverts, pop-ups or sidebars. Read it in your own font and colors, and change themes and text size from the bar at the bottom without losing your place. Highlight text first to read only that part. DYSLEXIA-FRIENDLY FONTS Choose OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Comic Sans or Sylexiad Serif, then fine-tune text size, word spacing and line height until reading feels right. READ ALOUD WITH WORD HIGHLIGHTING Tap Listen and the page is read to you, with each word highlighted as it's spoken so you can follow along. Pick the voice you like best and preview it, and download Enhanced or Premium voices for an even more natural sound. Great for proofreading, homework and long articles. SIMPLIFY* Tap Simplify to rewrite long, complicated articles in plain English, then switch back to the original any time. COLOUR THEMES MADE FOR READING Cream, Peach, Mint, Sky, Lilac and Night themes pair a background with a text color that reads well on it, or create a custom theme of your own.

2. APP PURPOSE SHIELD is a free, gamified scam awareness education app for everyday consumers. Americans lost $10B+ to fraud in 2023, yet there's no structured way for consumers to build scam recognition skills. Users take interactive quizzes built from real-world scam scenarios (phishing, romance scams, crypto schemes, etc.), track a Preparedness Score, earn achievements, and compete on a leaderboard. The core experience is free. Scam-to-Quiz: Users submit scam content (text, URLs, screenshots, or via iOS Share Sheet) which AI analyzes and converts into quizzes. Each submission uses 1 credit (premium subscribers get 10/month). Premium ($5.99/mo or $49.99/yr): 10 monthly submission credits plus a Scam Defense Score — a personalized risk assessment enriched with Have I Been Pwned breach data. 3.
