Arch Buddy

There's a stack of unread text between you and what you need to know. Arch Buddy is your personal Robo-Archivist—turning that wall into a timed, winnable session. Scan any printed page with your camera, paste a link, upload a document, or load a full ebook — then read one precise word at a time, at a speed you control, with the power to pause and rewind. RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) speed reading strips away the friction and puts the text right in front of you, word by word, until you're through. Every session builds something that stays. Your personal Archive grows richer the more you read. By earning Bookmarks and Scrolls, you unlock new Realms, Augments and Arch Buddy companions. Watch as your reading speed increases, your shelves fill and the ancient library changes around you. Maintain your streak and your reward multiplier climbs. Each reading session genuinely matters. WHAT ARCH BUDDY DOES: — Scan text from any surface — your first scans use AI for extra-sharp results, then fast on-device scanning — Import documents (PDF, DOCX, RTF, TXT) or pull clean text from any URL — Read full ebooks (EPUB, PDF), split into chapters with progress saved per chapter — RSVP speed reading at 100–1200 WPM with smart Dynamic Speed ramping — Highlight colour customization that expands as you unlock new Realms — A living Archive home screen that reflects your reading history — Collectible Realms: Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Futuristic and more — Craft your Arch Buddy with unlockable skins in the Foundry — Streak multiplier that climbs as you keep your daily reading streak — Full dark-mode design built for focus, not distraction Arch Buddy is for people who want to hone their attention span. Not a speed-reading flex. Not a productivity dashboard. A quiet, evolving sanctuary where every page you finish earns something permanent. The library is waiting. The Arch Buddy is ready. The text is not going to read itself. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
