Real focus when you read.
People want to read. Their phones won't let them.
Open a book, read two paragraphs, check a notification, re-read the same paragraph, give up.
The problem isn't you. It's how reading apps work.

Each word is centered on screen. Your eyes stay still. Distraction becomes structurally impossible.
The Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) is highlighted so your brain processes each word instantly.
Adjust to what feels comfortable. Smart pauses at sentence boundaries keep the rhythm natural.
One word. One focal point. Your eyes stay still while the story comes to you. No pages to scroll, no paragraphs to lose your place in.
Anyone who struggles to focus while reading on their phone. It's especially helpful for people with ADHD, students with heavy reading lists, or anyone who keeps abandoning books halfway through.
Traditional readers show full pages of text, which lets your eyes wander and your mind drift. FocusWord shows one word at a time, keeping you locked into the content. You can't scroll ahead or get distracted by how much is left.
Rapid Serial Visual Presentation. Instead of moving your eyes across lines of text, words come to you one at a time at a fixed point. It eliminates the eye movement that causes fatigue and distraction.
It marks the Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) -- the spot in each word where your brain recognizes it most efficiently. Centering words on this point reduces cognitive load and makes reading feel effortless.
EPUB files. That's the standard format for ebooks. You can export EPUBs from most ebook stores or convert other formats using free tools like Calibre.
Completely. All your books and reading progress stay on your device. We don't have servers, don't collect data, and don't track you. No account needed.
Yes. FocusWord is available on both platforms with the same features and experience.
Free on iOS and Android.
