Power Reader

Read full description

Power Reader helps you read faster on any website โ€” without changing your habits. It works by bolding a cleverly chosen anchor of every word on the page. This visual trick leverages how your brain processes language, boosting word recognition and keeping your eyes moving smoothly across lines. **How it works** Power Reader uses a technique called perceptual micro-stimulation. By emphasizing these anchors, it gives your brain a head start on recognition โ€” so you read faster and with less effort. **Features** - Boldens a cleverly chosen anchor of every word on any Safari webpage - Works with every text and on all websites โ€” no exceptions - One-tap enable/disable via Safari Extensions - Zero data collection โ€” your browsing stays completely private - Lightweight and fast โ€” no performance impact **Privacy** Power Reader processes everything on-device. It never tracks you, never phones home, and never sees your browsing data. Period.
