Focus Reader

Paste a link above. The page gets stripped to its text and re-typeset for an attention system that wanders.

• Spacing beats font choice. Line height, line length and letter spacing move comprehension more than any “special” typeface.
• Short lines (60–70 characters) cut return-sweep errors — the place attention most often drops.
• Focus mode + chunking turn an endless page into finishable pieces, which is a task-initiation problem as much as a reading one.
• Every break asks you a question. Stopping to say what you just read is the best-evidenced way to cut mind-wandering and keep any of it.
• The progress bar counts reading, not scrolling — a block only counts once you've actually sat on it.
• It remembers where you stopped, along with anything you highlighted (h) or noted (n).
