About

Bold Reading

Features
Read full description

Bold Reading emphasises text in Safari to help you read with less effort. Turn it on from the toolbar, then tune it to taste. Choose whether to emphasise the start of each word or whole words, with bold, underline, or both. Adjust how strong the emphasis is, how many letters are highlighted, and how often it is applied. You can skip short words, add optional colour, and try to leave navigation and sidebars untouched. Enable or disable Bold Reading on individual websites, or block sites entirely when you do not need it. Works in Safari on Mac and iPhone. Simple to set up, easy to leave on.
