DocDance (DocumentDance) is not a traditional PDF reader. It is a visual reading tool designed for people who struggle with dense text—or simply have too much of it to read. Instead of forcing your eyes to scan endless black paragraphs, DocDance restructures text visually. Key terms are detected and transformed into color-coded, size-weighted highlights, guiding your attention naturally through each paragraph. Your brain stops hunting for meaning. It just follows it. Why DocDance is different Most reading apps focus on layout. DocDance focuses on cognition. By turning important words into visual anchors, DocDance helps you read faster, stay focused longer, and retain more—without speed-reading tricks or summaries. Built for real readers • People with ADHD or attention difficulties • Readers with dyslexia or visual fatigue • Students facing heavy academic reading • Professionals reviewing long reports, specs, or research • Anyone who needs to read a lot, quickly, and clearly Read anything • PDF, EPUB and Word documents • Plain text • Web articles via URL • Read aloud with on-device text-to-speech Total control over your reading style • Color themes tuned for focus, not decoration • Adjustable keyword density • Dynamic text sizing for emphasis • Animation speed from calm to turbo • Resume reading exactly where you stopped DocDance adapts to how your brain reads—not the other way around. Privacy-first by design All reading effects run locally on your device. No accounts. No uploads. No tracking. If traditional reading feels slow, exhausting, or overwhelming, DocDance offers a new way in. Not more text. Better reading.

Focus Feast is a Pomodoro timer app. Before you start focusing, you place an "order" by choosing from 26 foods across 5 categories in the app. You can select "Deliver Now" to start focusing immediately after ordering, or choose "Schedule Delivery" to set a future time for a planned focus session. When the scheduled time arrives, the app will send you a notification to remind you to begin. While focusing, you earn 1 focus point per minute. If your points exceed the cost of the food you ordered, the surplus will be stored in your account. Don't exit early — doing so will deduct 20 points and you won't receive the food you ordered. After a focus session ends, you receive the food you ordered, the satiety value it provides, and a corresponding sticker. Reaching 100% satiety unlocks achievements, and stickers can be used in the sticker pool. The app also includes a schedule feature that tracks your daily focus time, foods earned, and upcoming scheduled focus sessions. Join Focus Feast and enjoy productive, rewarding time!
