Calmer reading with ADHD or dyslexia
A few low-pressure settings to explore when attention, visual tracking, or fatigue make reading harder.
People with ADHD and dyslexia have different experiences, and no interface can promise the same result for everyone. The goal here is simply to make experimentation easy and reversible.
Reduce the number of decisions
Try a short focus session with a 10-minute target. Keep one mode, one type size, and one book ready so starting takes less energy. The session can end automatically and show a small summary.
Adjust the page to your eyes
- Increase font size and line spacing until the text feels unhurried.
- Try OpenDyslexic if its shapes feel more comfortable; keep the standard sans or serif option if they do not.
- Use sentence or paragraph mode when a single-word display loses context.
- Use warm or sepia themes if a bright white background feels harsh.
Build in permission to pause
Pause before you are exhausted. A slower pace, a chapter break, or a few words skipped can be more useful than pushing through. Mark & Meter has no streaks, leaderboards, or notifications competing for your attention.
