FocalReader – ADHD Focus Reader Firefox

FocalReader – ADHD Focus Reader

FocalReader creates a movable reading window that dims everything else on the page, helping you focus on what you're reading.

Features & Capabilities

NEW in 1.1.0 — Smart Window Pro: element-aware focus that snaps to paragraphs, headings, and articles instead of a fixed band. 7-day free trial.

Free features:
• Follow-mouse mode — focus area tracks your cursor
• Manual drag mode — position the window anywhere
• Adjustable width, height, and dim opacity
• Custom tint color • Full-width mode for line-by-line reading
• Auto-dim mode — darkens more when idle
• Per-site pause — turn off on specific domains
• Keyboard shortcuts for quick control

Smart Window (Pro):
Instead of a fixed-height band, Smart Window understands the structure of the page. Hover over a paragraph, focus locks to that paragraph. Use Shift+arrows to walk through blocks, zoom into a single sentence, or widen out to the parent section. $4.99/mo or $24.99/yr after the 7-day trial. Country-localized pricing (Purchasing Power Parity) — automatic
regional discounts.

Shortcuts:
• Alt+Shift+F — Toggle on/off
• Alt+Shift+M — Toggle mouse follow
• Alt+Shift+A — Toggle auto-dim
• Alt+Shift+P — Open popup
• Alt+Shift+C — Re-center focus
• Alt+Shift+Arrow — Resize window
• Shift+↓/↑/←/→ (Smart Window only) — Navigate blocks

Privacy:
FocalReader does not read, store, or transmit the content of pages you visit. The focus overlay runs entirely locally. Pro license keys are validated against Gumroad's API on activation and every 6 hours thereafter; that is the only
outbound network call the extension makes, and only for paying users. Free users have zero network activity. Full policy: focalreader.com/privacy

Built for people with ADHD, dyslexia, or anyone who gets distracted while reading online.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.
