Every feature strips one more thing between you and the text.

Paste text, drop a file, or select anything on your Mac and hit a global hotkey. Reads in under 100ms.

ORP pivot

The Optimal Recognition Point letter is highlighted so your eye anchors at the same spot for every word. No searching.

File library

Connect a folder of .txt and .md files. Browse and flash from your library without touching Finder.

System-wide hotkeys
