Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Andres, and I love reading. eBooks, articles, I consume everything. But here's the problem: my reading list kept growing faster than I could ever finish it
I started looking for solutions and discovered RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation), a science-backed technique that displays one word at a time, helping you read 2-3x faster while actually improving focus.
I wasn't the only one with this problem. I found a growing community of people frustrated with their endless "read later" lists. That's when I knew we had to build something.
FocalRead was born from that frustration. My team and I spent a lot of time crafting every detail, from seamless content import to the perfect reading experience.
What makes FocalRead different:
• Import from anywhere: Share directly from Safari, X, Reddit, or paste any URL
• Works with books too: EPUB, PDF, DOCX, MOBI support
• Thoughtful UX: Dark/light/gray themes, bookmarks, adjustable speed (100-1200 WPM)
• Share your reads: Turn favorite quotes into shareable videos
We built this with love for fellow readers who want to consume more without sacrificing their entire day.
I'd genuinely love your feedback:
→ What content do you struggle to get through?
→ What features would make this more useful for you?
→ Is there anything confusing about how it works?
Thanks for checking us out! 🙏
— Andres
