Micro Reading vs Taoist Diary

Micro Reading OS turns the spare minutes in your day into real reading progress. Paste an article, import a book, or scan a page, then read it one word at a time with RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) — a focused format designed to cut down on wasted eye movement and help you stay with the text, whether you have two minutes or twenty. This isn't a speed-reading gimmick. It's built around realistic, comprehension-first pace (roughly 300–500 words per minute), so you make steady progress without losing the thread. FOCUSED RSVP READING • One word at a time, with ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) highlighting to guide your eye • Adjustable reading speed • Customizable text size and reader themes • Simple gestures: tap to pause, double-tap to resume, swipe to rewind, long-press to bookmark • Prefer pages? Switch to page view and turn pages with a swipe • Progress tracking for every document KEEP READING IN OTHER APPS On iPhone, pop your reading into a floating Picture-in-Picture window and keep going while you check a message or switch apps. BRING YOUR OWN CONTENT • Paste text straight from your clipboard • Import EPUB, PDF, and plain text files • Search your library and jump back into anything you've saved • Bookmark key passages and return to them later • Organize your library into custom Reading Lists • Everything you import is available offline MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Every screen adapts to iPad, with a comfortable reading width in portrait and landscape. READ ON APPLE WATCH Continue an RSVP session right on your wrist — your place stays in step between iPhone and Apple Watch, even for long books. Control playback with simple gestures or the Digital Crown and feel haptic feedback as you read. Your reader colors and theme carry over automatically from iPhone. A HOME SCREEN WIDGET THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING See your current book at a glance and control playback — pause, resume, skip, adjust speed — without unlocking your phone. ALSO ON MAC Read and manage your library on Mac, with a menu bar companion for quick playback control. UNDERSTAND YOUR READING • Daily reading goal • Reading streaks • Stats on time read, words read, and sessions completed BUILT FOR REAL-LIFE READING Micro Reading OS isn't about turning every session into a race. It's about making use of the small moments already in your day — a few minutes in line, a chapter on the commute, a paragraph before bed. One spare moment at a time.

Taoist Diary is a quiet reading app. One meditation arrives each morning — a short passage from the Taoist, Buddhist and Stoic traditions, with a line to carry into the day. THE DAILY MEDITATION Three hundred and sixty-five mornings, each one built the same way: a title, a line from the source, a short reflection, and the name of the text it came from. Nothing to scroll through, nothing to catch up on. One day at a time. THE SHELF Ten complete works, in public-domain translations, free to read: • Tao Te Ching — Laozi • Zhuangzi — Zhuang Zhou • The Four Lesser Classics — Taoist canon • Actions and their Retributions — Anonymous, Sung dynasty • The Classic of Filial Piety — attributed to Confucius and Zang-tze • The Dhammapada — the Buddhist canon • The Sutta-Nipata — the Buddhist canon • Meditations — Marcus Aurelius • The Discourses of Epictetus • The Encheiridion — Epictetus You can read every one of them without paying anything, and without an internet connection once the app is installed. THE TALES Fifty-eight parables, retold from named sources across eight traditions — Taoist, Buddhist, Chinese, Greek, Indian, Sufi, Stoic and Zen. One arrives each week. Every tale names the work it came from; none of them were invented for this app. LISTENING Everything above can be heard as well as read: the daily meditation, nine of the ten books, and the tales, narrated. There is background music you can leave on underneath, or turn off. Listening is the part that costs. Reading is not. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Reading is free — the daily meditation and all ten books, always. Listening is a subscription: US$1.99 per month or US$19.99 per year, with seven days free before anything is charged. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage the subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
