Reed – Speed Reading

Turn your books into a speed-reading flow – one word at a time. Free to import, private by design: no accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Reed helps you read books faster. It shows text one word at a time, right where your eyes already rest, with the key letter highlighted – the RSVP technique (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) – so you stop dragging your eyes across lines and start reading in a flow.

And unlike most speed readers, Reed never paywalls your own content. Import your EPUBs, PDFs and text files for free, and read them your way.

EASIEST SPEED READING

• One word at a time, with the optimal focal letter marked
• 2 modes: Hold-to-read & hands-free
• Set your speed (WPM) with a smooth warm-up ramp
• Swipe to scrub back and forth, word by word

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES

• Import EPUB, PDF and TXT, or paste any text
• Share files straight into Reed from other apps
• Everything stays on your device

TWO WAYS TO READ

• Speed reader for flow
• Classic reader that keeps EPUB formatting, images and chapters – plus a native PDF view with a paper page-curl

MAKE IT YOURS

• 14+ color palettes, custom themes and imported fonts, dark and light
• Fine-tune the on-screen word position
• Highlights and bookmarks with a list to jump back
• Search inside any document
• Per-document filters to strip repeating headers and page numbers
• Gentle eye-rest reminders

No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Reed works fully offline and never sends your reading anywhere. Free to download. Free to import.

Just read — faster.
