Product principles

A polished reading workflow, not a pile of settings.

The feature set is intentionally focused: fast relief, readable defaults, privacy-first behavior, and controls that stay discoverable.

01

Immediate relief

One-click tools for clutter, tiny fonts, distracting layouts, and difficult long-form pages.

02

Readable by design

Dyslexia-friendly typography, reflow, sizing, spacing, and high contrast help text feel easier to follow.

03

Private by default

Page content and selections are processed locally in the browser unless you explicitly opt in.

04

Simple controls

Clean, focused controls help readers fix the page without managing overwhelming settings.

Feature suite

Premium tools for the parts of reading that usually hurt.

Aa

Dyslexia-friendly typography

What: switch to an OpenDyslexic-like font with spacing and sizing adjustments that make letterforms and lines easier to distinguish.

Outcome: dense paragraphs and visual crowding become more comfortable to track, and users can toggle the font off any time.

One-click reader mode

What: reformat long pages into a focused reading column with adjustable font size and line height.

Outcome: sidebars, ads, multi-column layouts, and crowded page chrome stop competing for attention.

High contrast & invert modes

What: toggles increase contrast and optionally invert colors for better visibility.

Outcome: low-contrast pages and bright layouts become easier to read with local CSS-based modes.

Read-aloud

What: uses the browser's Web Speech API to speak selected text or the main article.

Outcome: listen while following along when your eyes are tired or focus starts to drift.

Local summarizer and saved reads

What: short-form summarization and saved reads are performed locally when possible.

Outcome: regain context on dense material or return to important reading without making remote processing the default.

🔒

Security & data handling

  • Preferences, saved reads, and stats are stored in chrome.storage.local.
  • Page content and selections are not sent to remote servers by default.
  • Optional cloud features will be opt-in with clear consent screens.

Engineering rationale

Designed carefully for privacy, stability, and real-world pages.

No remote logging by default minimizes data exposure, chunked TTS avoids browser speech timeouts, and the overlay reader avoids risky site DOM changes.
