Words are displayed one at a time with a highlighted focal letter, training your eyes to stay centered and eliminating subvocalization — the habit that slows most readers down. Import your own books, articles, and documents in EPUB, PDF, TXT, or Markdown format. Paste any web URL and the app extracts the article text automatically. Your entire library lives on-device. Features: - RSVP reader with a color-highlighted focal letter for each word - Adjustable speed from 50 to 1,000 words per minute - Two play modes: Play/Pause or Press to Play (hold to read, release to stop) - Chapter navigation for multi-chapter EPUBs - Import documents: EPUB, PDF, TXT, and Markdown files - Read web articles by pasting a URL - 7 monospace font choices including JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, and Courier Prime - Adjustable font size - Reading position saved automatically — pick up where you left off - Pure black dark theme designed for OLED screens - No account required. All data stays on your device.

MicroTrack helps you turn focused work into a record you can trust. Start a work block, track time, log what moved forward, and rate how much energy it took. Over time, you build a clearer picture of where your hours go and which work drains or drives you. Break larger goals into smaller subprojects with time targets, so complex work feels manageable and measurable. Review your recent sessions in Insights, spot patterns in time and energy, and export your history when you want a deeper look. When you need stronger accountability, lock a personal reward behind a timer and finish the block before you cash it in. It’s a simple way to make hard sessions stick. With Live Activities, a clean timer, session logging, project breakdowns, and energy tracking, MicroTrack sits between a basic focus timer and a lightweight work system — built for builders, creators, and anyone who wants a more honest trail of their work.
