Quiet Reader

A calm, distraction-free reader view for any article.

Quiet Reader turns any article into a quiet room. One click strips away ads, popups, autoplay, and the forty-tab noise around it, leaving just the words — set in a theme and typeface you actually chose. You know the drill. You open an article, and before you've read a sentence, a cookie banner slides up, a video starts playing, three ads shift the layout, and a newsletter popup covers the paragraph you were on. Reading online has become an obstacle course. Quiet Reader skips all of it. Features: 🌙 Four carefully crafted reading themes ✍️ Eight built-in fonts with adjustable size, spacing, and width 📖 Optional Bionic Reading mode 💧 Reading progress indicator with estimated reading time 🔒 Privacy-first: works locally, no tracking, no data collection, fully offline Quiet Reader only requests the permissions it needs and runs only when you activate it. Built with the same calm design philosophy as The Boy Who Collected Silence, a cozy interactive fiction about rediscovering silence in a noisy world.

PDFs and images aren't supported either — Quiet Reader will tell you when it can't find an article rather than guessing. Read more quietly. Press Alt/Option+R.
