Read Faster. Absorb More. Reedit Changes Everything. Reedit transforms the way you consume text using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) — a scientifically-backed speed reading technique that displays words one at a time in a fixed position on your screen. The Problem with Traditional Reading When you read the traditional way, your eyes constantly jump across the page — moving from word to word, line to line. This eye movement, called saccading, is the single biggest bottleneck slowing down your reading speed. Your brain can process information far faster than your eyes can physically move. The RSVP Solution Reedit eliminates this bottleneck entirely. Instead of your eyes chasing words, words come to you. Each word appears in the same spot, allowing your eyes to stay perfectly still while your brain does what it does best — absorbing information at incredible speeds. Why Reedit? • Read 2-3x Faster — Most people read around 200-250 words per minute. With RSVP, you can comfortably reach 400-600 WPM or more with practice. • Better Focus — One word at a time means fewer distractions. No more losing your place or re-reading paragraphs. • Less Eye Strain — Your eyes stay relaxed in a fixed position, reducing fatigue during long reading sessions. • Train Your Brain — Start at your comfortable pace and gradually increase speed as your comprehension adapts. Perfect For: • Articles and news content • Books and long-form writing • Study materials and research papers • Emails and documents • Anything you need to read faster How It Works Simply paste or import your text into Reedit, set your preferred reading speed, and tap play. Words flow to you one at a time at your chosen pace. Pause anytime, adjust speed on the fly, and pick up right where you left off. Your Reading, Reimagined Whether you're a student trying to get through coursework, a professional staying on top of industry reading, or simply someone who wants to read more books in less time — Reedit gives you the tools to consume text content more efficiently than ever before. Download Reedit today and discover what speed reading really feels like.

Focus for 25 minutes — and a building rises in your city. Focus Timer is a calm Pomodoro timer with a reason to stay off your phone: every session you finish becomes one building in a little isometric city that's yours to explore. Quick sessions raise cottages; long deep-work sessions raise townhouses and apartment blocks. Keep showing up and your city grows whole districts — leafy neighborhoods, a market square, parks, and one day, a clock tower. • One finished session = one building, forever — tap any building to see the day, the minutes, and what you were working on • Longer sessions build bigger buildings • A real little city: roads, gardens, districts, landmarks — pinch, pan, explore • Classic Pomodoro breaks, gentle and optional • Pick your length: presets, or a simple stepper up to an hour • Streaks and lifetime focus stats • No account, no ads getting in the way of the work — everything stays on your device Free for 7 days, then a single one-time unlock. No subscription, ever. Part of Appopolis — a little city of small, focused apps.
