Struggling to Focus While Reading? Transform Your Reading Experience!

Introducing my innovative Chrome extension designed to help you engage deeply with text and truly internalize what you read. If you often find it challenging to concentrate and remember key information, this tool is for you. Leveraging the renowned Feynman Technique—widely regarded as one of the best learning strategies—our extension enables you to actively engage with content instead of just skimming or listening passively.

Why Choose this Extension?

Many of us face the same dilemma: we force ourselves to read, sometimes even at 1.5x speed, only to realize we haven’t actually absorbed anything. With daily reading demands, it’s crucial to turn this task into a productive and effective experience. After extensive research and trial-and-error, I've developed features that make reading manageable and rewarding.

Key Features:
1. Bionic Reading: Break long paragraphs into manageable sentences with a color overlay, enhancing your focus and comprehension.

2. Article Structure Analysis: Automatically highlight key sentences based on article types to make long article manageable—whether it’s definitions, wiki-like documents, or opinion piece—tailored to your content.

3. Jump-to-Sentence Functionality: Click on highlighted sentences to navigate directly to their location in the original article for seamless reading.

4. Layman's Terms Explanation: Complex concepts are simplified with relatable examples, making learning accessible—like explaining to a 10-year-old!

5. Quiz Me: Test your understanding with engaging quizzes that transform reading into an interactive experience. Perfect for those of us who thrive on dynamic activities to stay focused!

6. Active Summarization: Quickly summarize selected paragraphs to maintain engagement without the urge to skim.

7. Reflection Note-Taking: Internalize what you learn by taking reflective notes, practicing the Feynman Technique to reinforce your understanding.

8. Feedback on Your Notes: Receive constructive feedback to improve your note-taking and deepen your comprehension.

9. Text-to-Speech: Listen to selected text read aloud, catering to different learning styles.

10. Dynamic Article Analysis: Different content types require different focus areas; my extension helps you identify and break down important parts effectively.

Get Involved!
This extension is designed for those who share similar struggles with reading. I am a solo developer and I look forward to your feedback. Join me in redefining how we engage with text, and transform reading into a more productive, enjoyable activity!

STOP PASSIVE SCROLLING. START DEEP READING.

Do you finish a long article only to realize you’ve forgotten everything you just read? Most web reading is "passive." Our extension turns the web into an active workspace, helping you concentrate, scan faster, and actually internalize information.

Whether you struggle with focus or simply have too much to read, this tool provides a scientific approach to digital literacy.

--- KEY FEATURES ---

SMART SKIM MODE (Bionic-Style)
Scan text at lightning speed. By emphasizing the "anchor" parts of words and fading out auxiliary "stop words," your brain focuses on the core logic: Who did what, and why.

GUIDED READING OVERLAY
Keep your place and reduce eye strain. Use an adjustable color band or spotlight to guide your eyes through dense blocks of text without losing your line.

INFORMATION HEAT MAP
Stop wasting time on fluff. Our topographic scrollbar marks paragraphs with high information density in red. Quickly distinguish between core insights and "word salad" at a glance.

AI-POWERED COMPREHENSION (BYO API Key)

Summarize: Condense long sections instantly.

Definition: Get technical context for difficult terms.

Explain Simply: Converts complex jargon into analogies and plain language.

Ask Anything: Query the text directly without leaving the page and copy text into your AI chatbot window.

Text-to-Speech: Listen while you read to boost multi-modal learning.

--- THE FEYNMAN METHOD: MASTER WHAT YOU READ ---

Don't just read—prove you understand it. Use our built-in tools based on the renowned Feynman Technique:

Generate Quiz: Test your knowledge based on your selected text.

Reflect & Write: Prompt yourself to summarize the concept in your own words.

--- WORKFLOW & INTEGRATION ---

SYNC TO NOTION: Save your summaries, AI explanations, and personal reflections directly to your Notion workspace with one click.

--- SETUP & PRIVACY ---

FREE FEATURES: Reading modes, overlays, and Text-to-Speech work immediately out of the box.

AI & NOTION: Notion features are free but require a one-time setup. AI tools require you to input your own API key (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, etc.).

YOUR DATA: We value privacy. Your settings are stored locally in Chrome sync. Text is only sent to external providers (like OpenAI or Notion) when you explicitly trigger those features.

WE DO NOT COLLECT YOUR API KEY OR NOTES

Transform your browser into a powerhouse for learning. Install now and start reading with purpose.
