Focus & Attention Tools

  • Highlight sentences, zoom text , custom Typography, Morphology mode (bolding prefixes, roots, suffixes), Ph·o·no·lo·gy mo·de (highlighting pho·ne·tic patterns)

  • ReadPro is a browser extension created to support ADHD and attention-challenged users who often find it difficult to maintain focus during online reading. While most reading tools assume users can sustain attention and organize information consistently, ReadPro acknowledges real attention patterns—frequent context switching, mental fatigue, and difficulty returning to key points. By combining a simplified reading view with structured highlighting and fast review, ReadPro helps users stay present while reading and revisit important takeaways in seconds.

  • Users with ADHD often struggle with long-form digital reading—not because they lack motivation, but because the web environment is optimized for distraction. Pop-ups, ads, dense layouts, and endless scrolling create cognitive overload, making it difficult to stay on task, retain information, and return to key ideas after attention breaks.

  • ReadPro provides a focus-first reading workflow—minimizing distractions, guiding attention, and enabling frictionless highlighting—so ADHD readers can stay engaged and build a personal library of key takeaways for quick review.
