Focal
You have 47 books on your "to read" list.
What if you could actually finish them?
RSVP speed reading. Train your brain to read 2-3x faster.
We scroll through 10,000 words a day.
But can't finish a single book.
Social media trained your brain for distraction. Short videos. Infinite feeds. Now reading feels like work. You start books but never finish them. That stack on your nightstand? It's been there for months.
Your brain isn't broken.
It's undertrained.
The average person reads 200 words per minute. But your brain can process information at 400, 500, even 800 WPM. You've just never learned how.
One word at a time.
Zero distractions.
Focal uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) — the same technique used by speed reading champions. Words flash at your chosen pace, eliminating the eye movement that slows you down.
No more re-reading sentences. No more losing your place. Just pure, focused reading.
Three ways to read.
One app.
Speed Mode
RSVP reading at 100-800 WPM. For when you want to crush through chapters and make real progress.
Subtitle Mode
See ~12 words at a time with the current word highlighted. Same speed as RSVP but way more relaxing. For focused reading without the intensity.
Normal Mode
Classic reading experience. Swipe through pages, highlight passages. For Sunday mornings and lazy afternoons.
Import your EPUBs. Read your own books. Switch between modes with a tap. Your library, your rules.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Import EPUBs
Drag and drop. Your books, not ours.
100-800 WPM
Start slow. Build up. Go beast mode.
