Read faster. Stay focused. Built for ADHD brains. Readmaxx displays one word at a time using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), a research-backed reading method that eliminates eye scanning and keeps your attention locked in. A 2025 Cambridge study found that ADHD adults comprehend 13% better with RSVP vs. traditional reading. readmaxx is built on this research β€” not productivity hype. HOLD TO READ The entire screen is your touch zone. Hold anywhere to start, lift your finger to pause. Reading becomes a physical, intentional action. TWO READING MODES β€’ Context β€” the current paragraph appears below the word bar, so you never lose your place β€’ Focus β€” just the word, nothing else on screen IMPORT ANYTHING EPUB books, PDF files, web articles by URL, or paste any text. SMART TIMING Automatic pauses at sentence ends, and paragraph breaks β€” backed by research showing these pauses are critical for RSVP comprehension. TACTILE FEEDBACK Feel the text structure through haptics: light taps at sentences, medium pulses at paragraphs, heavy thuds at chapters.
