Replace your scroll with something worth your time. Devoro turns spare minutes into reading you actually remember: pick anything you're curious about, read it one word at a time, and finish with a quiz and a proper “Devoured.” Devoro uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) to show text one word at a time at a single fixed point, with the key letter of each word highlighted. Your eyes stay put, your attention has one target, and it's easy to stay with the text. OPTIONAL: APP LOCK Want a push? Switch on App lock under your daily goal and choose the apps you open without thinking: social feeds, short videos, games. Until you've read today, opening one shows a “Read first” page instead, with the article you were in the middle of one tap away. Read a few minutes at your speed, hit your goal, and those apps open normally for the rest of the day. • Off unless you switch it on. In Normal mode you can pause it for the day or switch it off any time • Continue where you left off, or pick something new • Free locks 1 app. Premium locks up to 50, adds set hours and Strict mode • On iPhone, your picks stay on your phone, inside Apple's Screen Time framework LEARN Type any topic (philosophy, nutrition, how satellites work) and Devoro writes an article on it for you. Want more? Ask for a whole curriculum and work through it article by article. Choose your portion: Bite, Snack, Meal or Feast. Every article ends with a quiz that shows what stuck. READ Bring your own content. Paste a link, import a PDF or EPUB, drop in plain text, or share a link to Devoro from another app. Devoro does not bypass paywalls and only imports readable content you provide.
