TapLine
Read full descriptionHide full description
TapLine is a reading app designed for people who want to read more but struggle to start ā especially those with ADHD, busy schedules, or a brain that drifts after a few lines. The secret is Single-Sentence Mode. Instead of a full page of text, TapLine shows you just one sentence at a time. Tap to move forward, swipe to go back. It feels like scrolling a feed ā but you're actually reading a book. WHAT MAKES TAPLINE DIFFERENT - Single-Sentence Mode breaks any book into bite-sized pieces, so you can read for 2 minutes on the subway and actually retain it - No overwhelming walls of text ā just one thought at a time - Build a mini-reading habit that fits into your real life - Supports EPUB format so you can import your own books WHO IT'S FOR - People with ADHD or other attention challenges - Busy commuters who only have a few spare minutes - Anyone who buys books but never finishes them - Readers who feel guilty every time they reach for their phone instead TapLine was built by an indie developer with ADHD who got tired of feeling bad about not reading. It's not about reading faster ā it's about reading at all. PRO FEATURES - Unlimited book imports - Full reading history and progress tracking - Customizable font size and display settings Download TapLine and read your first book ā one sentence at a time.

Wisp is a calm auto-scroll reader: the text rises at exactly the pace you set while your eyes stay near the centre of the screen. No page turns, no tapping, no losing your place. Bring your own books and PDFs ā or send Wisp any web article and let that flow too. This is not word-flashing (RSVP). It is a continuous, natural flow ā so you keep comprehension and the rhythm of real sentences. WHY WISP ⢠Auto-scroll that respects your reading ā one smooth, continuous stream. ⢠Set your speed in words per minute; change it live with a slide. ⢠Tap to pause or resume. Drag to jump anywhere, then flow on. ⢠Focused mode spotlights the active line ā tune the focus strength to your eyes (Pro). ⢠Your speed and your place are remembered for every book. ⢠Four paper tones (white, warm, dim and true black) and a choice of typeface, previewed live as you set them. ⢠Pause and look away: when you resume, the text eases back to your pace instead of jumping to full speed. ⢠Set an optional session goal, and see time left at your own pace instead of percentages. READ ANYTHING ā ARTICLES FROM THE WEB ⢠Share a page from Safari, or paste a link, and Wisp strips it down to clean reading text. ⢠Filter your library to just articles, each with the time it takes at your pace, so you know what a five-minute gap can hold. ⢠Once saved, an article reads offline ā no connection, no tracking, no clutter. YOUR LIBRARY ⢠Import your own TXT, EPUB and PDF files. ⢠Bookmark any spot, add a note about the thought that pulled you away, and return to it exactly. ⢠Local-first: everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up. LISTEN (Pro) ⢠Have any book or article read aloud, right on your device and fully offline. ⢠The page follows the voice and the spoken sentence is highlighted, so you never lose your place. ⢠Set the narration pace from 0.5Ć to 2Ć. Natural on-device voices for English and Turkish; system voices cover many more languages. FREE & PRO ⢠Your first 5 books are free, plus 5 web articles every month. ⢠Go Pro for unlimited books and articles, Listen, focus-strength tuning, and more ā as a yearly or monthly subscription.
