    ADHD Reading

    freemium • Free to start
    Updated Sep 2026

    Long-form text is where a lot of readers with ADHD lose the thread: the eyes keep moving but nothing lands, and re-reading the same paragraph three times is exhausting enough that the article gets abandoned. ADHD Reading is built specifically around that failure point. You paste in an article, a study, a report, or a chunk of course material, and it re-renders the text into a format designed for attention that wanders — bolded word openings that pull the eye forward, shorter visual chunks instead of dense blocks, clearer hierarchy between sections, and condensed summaries so you can get the shape of a piece before committing to all of it. The point isn't to replace reading, it's to lower the activation cost of starting and the odds of drifting halfway through. Students use it on assigned readings, professionals on documentation and long email threads, and anyone who has a browser tab graveyard of half-read articles gets a practical way to actually finish them. It runs in the browser with a free tier, so testing it against something you've already given up on takes seconds.
