Engrossed for Chrome

For people who find it hard to focus: read long articles a few sentences at a time.

Click the Engrossed button on any article and it shows a few sentences at a time, with little else on the screen. Click, or press Space, and the next few appear. It breaks where a sentence ends, wherever the text allows, and it remembers your place in each article.

• A few sentences at a time, or the whole article with everything but your place dimmed.
• In longer articles, a pause every few hundred words to say in one line what you just read.
• An optional reading timer, a list of sections to jump to, and read aloud.
• Light and dark themes, and your choice of font and text size.
• No account, no servers, no tracking. It only runs when you click it.

An Engrossed app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, for books and PDFs, is on its way. No subscription. Privacy · Contact · Engrossed
