Read, highlight and annotate the web without distractions
Reader Mode is a distraction-free reader that removes ads & clutter from the web. It includes text-to-speech, dyslexia support, highlighting, annotations, bookmarking & research tools. Available as a browser extension, web app, and mobile & desktop app. ✨
It’s been a while—5 years to be exact, since I first launched Reader Mode! A lot has changed, but one thing that hasn’t is my passion for continuously developing and improving it. Fast forward to today, over 300,000+ people have been using Reader Mode to enhance their reading experience!
And over the years, Reader Mode has evolved beyond just a reading tool. It now focuses on three main areas: 📖 Reading – A clean, distraction-free experience with powerful customization 🔖 Bookmarking & Research – Highlighting, organizing, and saving important content ♿ Accessibility – Making reading easier for everyone, including dyslexic users
One of my biggest goals was to ensure that Reader Mode keeps evolving, unlike many products that fade away after launch. That’s why I’ve focused on delivering the most requested and impactful features—including the long-awaited multi-color Web & PDF highlighter! 🎉 It took a lot of work to integrate it smoothly into the existing extension and app, and I’m super proud to finally launch it alongside other highly requested features like:
What’s New in Reader Mode 2.0? ✅ Web & PDF highlighter (multi-color!) ✅ Highlight labels for better organization ✅ Permanent Copy to save cleaned-up articles ✅ Auto-sync with Evernote & Notion ✅ Smart tag suggestions based on past usage ✅ New customizable shortcuts ✅ Editable articles for personalized reading ✅ Folder/Collection icons for easier navigation ✅ Improved text-to-speech (TTS) engine ✅ Auto-run rules with regex for better automation ✅ Embeddable collections & profiles ✅ More dyslexia-friendly fonts for better accessibility ✅ Improved Dyslexia Ruler – Now smoother and more effective than ever!
