## Description

Read faster while a quick on-device check proves your comprehension holds. Find your comprehension-safe speed. Private by design — your reading never leaves your iPhone.

Read faster — and prove you understood.

Most speed-reading apps only measure how fast you go. Dogear measures whether you actually understood what you read, so you can find your comprehension-safe speed: the fastest pace where understanding still holds.

No “read 1,000 words a minute” promises. Decades of research are clear: speed and comprehension trade off, and skimming faster isn’t the same as reading faster. Dogear is built around that truth.

HOW IT WORKS
• Pick something to read — paste any text, choose a passage from the built-in library, or read a fresh passage written privately on your iPhone.
• Pace yourself — flash one word at a time with the pivot letter held in place, or sweep a calm highlight across normal text. Adjust the speed mid-read, scrub anywhere, rewind five words, start with a 3-2-1 countdown.
• Prove it stuck — a short comprehension check after each passage, scored and explained answer by answer, shown right next to your pace.

MADE TO BE TUNED
• Speed from 100 to 900 words a minute, 1–3 words per flash
• Reading font (system, serif, rounded), text size, and paper / dark themes
• Bold word starts (bionic-style fixation anchors), pause-at-punctuation, pivot guides
• Haptics, countdown, daily reading goal, and an optional daily reminder — all in Settings

HONEST PROGRESS
• Comprehension-safe speed — your real number to beat
• A daily-goal ring, reading streak, and trend charts that plot pace and comprehension together
• Every passage is labeled with where it came from, and every check with how it was made

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Passages and quizzes are generated by Apple’s on-device model when your iPhone supports it — your text never leaves your device. On other iPhones, Dogear’s built-in library passages each include a real comprehension quiz, so the pace-and-prove loop works everywhere. No account. No tracking. No third-party ads. Privacy label: Data Not Collected.

Free. For iPhone, iOS 26 and later.

From the author of “Lessons Best Learned Early” and the “PictureBooks With Purpose” series.
