Focus Scroll — Reader Mode & Highlighter

Reader mode with a focus zone: text sharpens as it enters your reading line, distractions fade. Highlight, take notes, export.

Most reader modes clean up the page and stop there. Focus Scroll goes one step further: it keeps your eyes on the line you're actually reading. THE FOCUS ZONE As you scroll, text flows through a focus zone in the middle of your screen — sharpening as it enters, gently fading and blurring as it leaves. The paragraph you're reading is always crisp; everything above and below softly recedes. No more eyes wandering across a wall of text, no more losing your place, less eye fatigue on long reads.
