DarkScreenReader is a discreet reading tool for local novel files. It keeps most of the screen completely black and displays novel text only in a small area selected by you, making the phone look as if it is still locked. It is designed for office environments where you may prefer not to draw attention to your reading. 【QUICK START】 Open the app and select a local novel file Adjust the position and size of the text display area Enter the black-screen reading mode and start reading 【BLACK-SCREEN READING MODE】 • Selected display area: Show novel text only in the area you choose while keeping the rest of the screen completely black • Tap to hide: Tap the screen to hide the text immediately and switch to a fully black screen • Tap to resume: Tap again to restore the text and continue automatic page turning • Automatic page turning: Read continuously at your selected speed, with automatic pausing when the text is hidden • Swipe navigation: Swipe left or right to move to the previous or next page • Long-press menu: Long-press the screen in reading mode to open reading settings and controls • Customizable display area: Adjust the position and size of the text area to suit your environment 【LOCAL CONTENT】 All novel content is selected and imported by the user.
