Focal.

Focus-assisted reading.

Focal

Focal shows you one word at a time at a fixed focal point, so your eyes stay still and your attention stays put — at a pace where speed and comprehension actually coexist. It's built for the article backlog you never get to, the report you need to absorb in four minutes, and the long read you keep meaning to finish.

Read from anywhere

Paste text, upload documents (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, TXT, Markdown), import any article URL, or browse public-domain books.

Smart pacing

Optimal-recognition-point highlighting, natural pauses at punctuation, a gentle warm-up, and one-swipe sentence rewind.

Made to fit you

Dark, light, sepia and high-contrast reading themes; adjustable size, speed, and word position.

Private by design

Everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads — and we run no servers.

Coming to Google Play. Focal is a free Android app. Have a question first? Read the FAQ or learn what makes it different.
