description

Sky Reader extracts article text from webpages and removes ads, sidebars, and other distracting media. It is designed to improve focus and comprehension by providing a clean, customizable, and fun environment for reading.

Reading Tools
Article Extraction: Formats the main text of any webpage into a simplified layout.

Text Segmentation (Optional): Divides long, dense paragraphs into smaller, manageable units to make complex information easier to digest.

Line Gradients (Optional): Applies a subtle color shift to each line of text. This visual aid helps the eye track your place on the page and prevents accidental line skipping.

Lightning Read: A speed-reading tool that displays text one word at a time in rapid succession.

Customization & Workflow
Annotations: Create and save notes directly within your formatted articles for research or study.

Custom Themes: Build and save your own color schemes and font settings to reduce eye strain.

Manual Input: Paste specific passages or snippets into the extension popup to apply your reading settings manually.

PDF Export: Save any article as a PDF with extended page margins, designed for taking handwritten notes on printed copies.

Session History: Maintains a list of recently formatted articles during your current browsing session for quick re-access.

Technical Detail
Sky Reader is built to be lightweight and memory-efficient, with a minimal footprint on browser performance. All text processing is handled locally to ensure a fast and private experience.

Sky Reader turns webpages into focused reading environments, leaving just the article and clearing out ads, sidebars, and other distractions.

Sky Reader is a simple, lightweight, and memory-efficient reading mode extension that brings a wide range of customizable settings to your browser, designed to enhance the focus, comprehension, and enjoyment of your reading experience.

With one click, Sky Reader cleanly extracts and formats article text from any webpage — no images, ads, or distracting media, just the writing.

If you only need to format a specific passage, you can also type or paste text directly into the popup's input field. This makes it useful for research, note-taking, and working through longer texts in sections.

Recently formatted articles are saved within your current browsing session, so you can re-open them at any time without having to reformat the page.

Any formatted article can be saved as a PDF document, with extra page margins included for comfortable handwritten note-taking alongside the text.

Line gradients are an optional reading aid that subtly color each line of text, making it easier to track your place on the page. With gradients enabled, your eye is less likely to drift to already-read lines or accidentally skip ahead — improving reading flow without you having to think about it. They're on by default but can be disabled instantly from the toolbar.

The Lightning Read feature displays one word at a time in rapid succession, training your brain to read at speeds typically only achieved by practiced speed readers. With regular use, it can meaningfully increase your words-per-minute without sacrificing comprehension.
