Read at thought speed

Turn dense reading into a focused, fast flow.

A local-first Rapid Serial Visual Presentation reader built for people who need to move through high volumes of text without burning attention.

Product

Everything tuned for sustained reading velocity.

Hold to read, release to pause. Strobe keeps the interaction loop frictionless.

Adjust WPM, scrub position, and jump by chapters without losing your rhythm.

Pacing adapts to word length, sentence boundaries, and cognitive complexity so you read naturally.

Each word is anchored at its Optimal Recognition Point so your eyes lock on instantly.

Import PDFs and EPUBs by drag-and-drop or file picker. Paste raw text for quick reads.

Pick from curated typefaces tuned for single-word display and sustained reading comfort.

Full keyboard control on Mac and iPad. Space, arrows, escape — no mouse required.

Your imported content and progress stay on-device. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking.

Strobe remembers your position, speed, and settings automatically across sessions.
