Features & Capabilities

Hands-free reading for Android and desktop. Activate autoscrolling with a two-finger tap (mobile) or scroll gesture (desktop), then adjust speed by swiping up/down. Tap left/right screen edges for quick page navigation. Works only on sites you whitelist.

Gesture-Controlled Autoscrolling

Start scrolling with a simple two-finger tap on android or scroll down on desktop. Once active, swipe up or down to continuously adjust speed—the further you swipe, the faster it changes. Tap anywhere to pause and resume. Swipe left or right to exit. Optional auto-start timer begins scrolling automatically after page load.

Tap Navigation

Tap the left side of your screen to page up, right side to page down. No dragging needed. The extension automatically detects links and buttons to avoid conflicts.

Smart Activation

Add sites to your whitelist with a three-finger tap (mobile) or through settings. The extension stays inactive everywhere else, so your normal browsing isn't affected.

Customizable

Configure default speed (1-3000 px/sec), speed adjustment increments, and auto-start delay. Toggle features on or off independently. All settings sync across your devices.

Perfect for long articles, documentation, books, and any text-heavy content where you want to reduce repetitive scrolling motions.

User Reviews

Really happy to have found an extension that allows me to tap the screen to page down!! Would it be possible to adjust how far it pages down when tapping, like 1/2 a page instead of the full screen each time? Using this to read scrolling comics and sometimes the next "page" is cutting an illustration in two, so I have to drag the screen back up a bit. Otherwise entirely happy using it :)
