Readinity - RSVP Reader

Supporter version - https://ko-fi.com/s/f4768395b0 Read books, articles, and saved text on your Garmin watch - one word at a time. Readinity brings RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) speed reading to your wrist. A single word flashes in the center of the screen at the pace you choose, so your eyes never move and you can read while walking the dog, waiting in line, riding the train, or resting between sets. No scrolling, no zooming, no squinting at a tiny page. WHY IT WORKS Your eyes spend most of their "reading" time jumping between words, not actually reading. RSVP eliminates that movement by parking every word in the exact same spot. Trained readers reach 400–700 words per minute this way with no loss in comprehension. FEATURES • Adjustable reading speed: 100–250 WPM free, up to 800 WPM for supporters • ORP highlight — the focal letter of each word turns red, anchoring your eye (supporter feature) • Punctuation pauses — short breath after commas, longer after sentence ends, so it reads like speech • Tap to play and pause, skip ±10 words, jump back to the start • Resumes where you left off when you reopen the app • Glance widget shows your current word position at a glance • Dark theme for AMOLED battery savings (supporter feature) • Always-On Display mode with dimmed word • Three font sizes • Works on every supported Garmin device with no per-screen art — looks identical from 240px vivoactive up to 454px epix2 INCLUDED READING (FREE) • The Isa Upanishad — Juan Mascaró's translation of the opening Upanishad, a ~2.5-minute read • Moby-Dick opening paragraph (Herman Melville) • A short productivity essay • Speed-reading facts BRING YOUR OWN TEXT (SUPPORTER) Paste any article, poem, or passage (up to about 2,000 characters) into the app settings in the Garmin Connect mobile app and Readinity will display it. A companion phone app for syncing longer texts is planned for a future update. CONTROLS • START or center tap — play / pause • DOWN, or bottom-of-screen tap — skip forward 10 words • UP, or top-of-screen tap — skip back 10 words • MENU — options (restart, skip, speed info) SUPPORTER UNLOCK Readinity is free with a 250 WPM cap, the four bundled samples, and standard rendering. A one-time supporter key unlocks higher speeds (up to 800 WPM), custom pasted text, the red ORP focal letter, and dark theme. Keys help fund development and keep the app ad-free, tracker-free, and account-free. PRIVACY No accounts. No telemetry. No network calls. Your text stays on your device. TIPS • Start at 200 WPM if you're new to RSVP. Bump up when it feels comfortable. • The red ORP letter is doing real work — let your eye relax on it. • Punctuation pauses are on by default; turn them off in settings for raw words-per-minute drilling.
