Stream Reader

One line. Your pace. Nothing in the way.

A simple reader that streams text across the screen — so it's easier to stay with the words.

What it does

A line of text streaming smoothly from right to left through a reading window, one line at a time. A single line of text framed in a reading window, paused.

Instead of a full page to scan, Stream Reader gives you one continuous line, gliding by at a pace you choose.

With less on screen, it's easier to keep your place, stay with the sentence, and read without backtracking.

Speed up when you're in a rhythm, slow down when you want to savor — you're always in control.

And because it works on plain text, Stream Reader handles all major world writing systems — from Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek to Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Made to fit how you read

Import your own PDFs

Bring in a simple PDF and stream it just like anything else in your library.

Who it's for

Stream Reader is for anyone who wants a calmer, more efficient way to read. Some people use it because a full page feels noisy or they lose their place. Others just like focusing on a single line of text at a pace they set — on a commute, between tasks, or any time it beats holding a whole page in view.

Whether you're after more focus or simply a more convenient way to read, we made it with you in mind.
