Micro Reading OS turns the spare minutes in your day into real reading progress. Paste an article, import a book, or scan a page, then read it one word at a time with RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) — a focused format designed to cut down on wasted eye movement and help you stay with the text, whether you have two minutes or twenty. This isn't a speed-reading gimmick. It's built around realistic, comprehension-first pace (roughly 300–500 words per minute), so you make steady progress without losing the thread. FOCUSED RSVP READING • One word at a time, with ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting to guide your eye • Adjustable reading speed • Customizable text size and reader themes • Simple gestures: tap to pause, double-tap to resume, swipe to rewind, long-press to bookmark • Prefer pages? Switch to page view and turn pages with a swipe • Progress tracking for every document KEEP READING IN OTHER APPS On iPhone, pop your reading into a floating Picture-in-Picture window and keep going while you check a message or switch apps. BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT • Paste text straight from your clipboard • Import EPUB, PDF, and plain text files • Search your library and jump back into anything you've saved • Bookmark key passages and return to them later • Organize your library into custom Reading Lists • Everything you import is available offline MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Every screen adapts to iPad, with a comfortable reading width in portrait and landscape. READ ON APPLE WATCH Continue an RSVP session right on your wrist — your place stays in step between iPhone and Apple Watch, even for long books. Control playback with simple gestures or the Digital Crown and feel haptic feedback as you read. Your reader colors and theme carry over automatically from iPhone. A HOME SCREEN WIDGET THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING See your current book at a glance and control playback — pause, resume, skip, adjust speed — without unlocking your phone. ALSO ON MAC Read and manage your library on Mac, with a menu bar companion for quick playback control. UNDERSTAND YOUR READING • Daily reading goal • Reading streaks • Stats on time read, words read, and sessions completed BUILT FOR REAL-LIFE READING Micro Reading OS isn't about turning every session into a race. It's about making use of the small moments already in your day — a few minutes in line, a chapter on the commute, a paragraph before bed. One spare moment at a time. MICRO READING OS PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) The core reading experience — RSVP and page view, clipboard paste, EPUB/PDF/text import, bookmarks, Reading Lists, search, Picture-in-Picture, the Watch app, widget, and reading stats — is free, with your library capped at 20 documents. Premium removes the cap and adds: • Unlimited library • Save web articles by pasting a link • Scan printed pages or photos into text with on-device text recognition • Import more file types, including documents, ebooks, and subtitles • Discover free public-domain books and encyclopedia articles • Every reader theme, plus fine-tuned custom colors Premium is available as a monthly or annual subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Prices may vary by region.
