DyslexiaAway

A simple browser extension that applies a dyslexic-friendly font. For some of us, that small change makes reading a lot easier.

Features: • Fonts: Choose from Andika, Lexend, Shantell Sans, OpenDyslexic, Atkinson Hyperlegible, or use any custom font available on your system. • Adjustable spacing: Change letter spacing, word spacing, and line height. • Site exclusion: Skip pages where the font change isn't needed. • Light & dark themes: Matches your system theme or choose manually. • Minimal overhead: Runs with near-zero CPU usage. Stays asleep unless settings change. • No data collection: Everything happens locally. No tracking or ads. Why I built this: I've always struggled with reading. Whenever I faced a wall of text, I'd instinctively reach for audios, videos, or anything visual instead. Traditional fonts just felt heavy and exhausting to concentrate on. Discovering dyslexic-friendly fonts made reading less boring and actually enjoyable. I tried many great accessibility tools, but I found I just needed something minimalist and fast: only the font, spacing, and site exclusions. I created this to solve my own struggle, and I hope it helps you too. Open Source: This is my small contribution to a community that's given me so much.
