GazeRead uses the iPhone's front camera to track where you're looking in real time. As you read, two small orange triangles mark the line your gaze is on — so even if your attention drifts or the phone moves slightly, you never lose your place. FEATURES • Gaze-driven line marker — your current line is always visible • Auto-scroll — when your gaze reaches the bottom of the page, content slides forward smoothly • Manual control — close your right eye to advance, left eye to go back • Quick or precise calibration — choose 5- or 16-point setup • PDF reader — import your own PDFs and highlight any text you select • Web page reader — add pages via Safari's share menu • Portrait and landscape support WHO IT'S FOR • People who can't comfortably use their hands • Readers with dyslexia or attention difficulties • Anyone who loses their place in long text • Anyone who prefers reading without touching the screen PRIVACY GazeRead has no server, no account system, and no analytics. Your gaze data is processed only on your device and never sent over the internet. Only web pages you explicitly open generate normal browser traffic — beyond that, the app needs no network. REQUIREMENTS TrueDepth front camera (iPhone X or newer).
