Description
Read your books one word at a time — calm, focused, and as fast as you like. Glance shows text word by word at a single point, so your eyes stay still and your attention stays on the story. Import your own EPUB and MOBI books or save articles from the web, then read at the speed that feels right — from a gentle 100 to 1,000 words per minute. Your library, your way • Import DRM-free EPUB and MOBI books, or save any web article or pasted text to read offline • Two ways to read: scroll the full text, or switch to word-by-word speed reading — turn your phone sideways for a distraction-free view • Glance remembers where you stopped and carries you straight into the next chapter Made for reading, not for scrolling • Tap to pause, double-tap to go back a sentence, swipe to change speed • Many fonts and colour schemes, including high-contrast and colour-blind-friendly options • Reading stats and goals to build a daily habit • Translate any sentence with one long press • Works on iPhone and iPad, in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian Respectful by design Pay once, keep it forever. No ads. No tracking. No subscriptions. No account. Your books never leave your device. Just you, the words, and the moment. Note: books bought from Kindle or Apple Books are copy-protected (DRM) and can't be opened by any third-party reader.

We built one too, had a good laugh at it, and kept everything free anyway. No subscription, no trial, no "Pro". Just a lot of new stuff: READING COMPANION (Apple Intelligence, can be disabled :-) ) • Catch Me Up: a quick recap of where you left off, for when "I'll continue tomorrow" turned into three weeks. • Chapter summaries, character cards and questions about the story. • Runs entirely on your device and only knows what you've already read. Spoilers stay in the book, where they belong. • A quick comprehension check after a chapter, in case you're wondering whether 600 WPM was a good idea. • It only works as good as Apple Intelligence allows it to. Take it as a "i think it's.." rather than "it definitely is". It's still useful to quickly remember who that character in that too long and complicated novel was. SMARTER SPEED READING • Adaptive pacing: tricky words and names get a bit more time, "the" gets less. Same overall speed. • Phrase mode shows up to three words at once, plus an optional preview of the next word. • Long words are split instead of being shrunk to ant size. • Pause When Looking Away (optional, Face ID iPhones): look away and Glance waits for you. Nothing is recorded, it just notices you're gone. • Enable or disable these settings at will :-) SPEED TRAINING • Measure your reading speed, then train it with five-minute daily drills that only get faster while you still understand what you read. • As we don't employ a bunch of authors (sadly), these drill texts are AI generated. So, just practice with them and enjoy good literature by actual human authors :-) YOUR PROGRESS • Charts for your daily reading time and your speed over time. • An optional daily reminder. It skips days you've already read, because it's an app, not your mum. BOOKS, NOTES & MORE • Books now read in real paragraphs, and Glance remembers the exact word you stopped at. • Highlight passages, add notes and export them as Markdown. • PDF import. Yes, finally. • Share web pages or text to Glance from any app, and share your saved links with friends. • Widgets for your Home and Lock Screen, Siri ("Continue reading in Glance"), Shortcuts and Spotlight. • Separate font sizes for portrait and landscape, with a tiny live preview. • Better support for languages written without spaces, like Chinese and Japanese. ALSO • Fully translated into German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (both kinds), Russian and Ukrainian. • The What's New screen lets you switch the new features on or off right away. • Plenty of fixes under the hood. Your library comes along for the ride, of course. If something's broken, let me know and I'll fix it! Technical Analysis
