About the startup
Pressly turns books, documents, and articles into a fast, focused reading flow on iPhone and iPad. Instead of scrolling, it displays one word at a time at a fixed focus point so you can move through text at 270–700 WPM with less visual friction. Its adaptive pacing adds pauses at punctuation and longer words, while consecutive repeated words grow progressively larger to keep patterns visible and prevent words from blurring together. Import EPUB, text-based PDF, and TXT files, paste text, or save readable articles from a link. ORP highlighting, quick step-back controls, dictionary lookup, and hands-free playback help you stay engaged and act on more of what you read. Progress and files stay on-device. No account, ads, or cloud library. Pressly Pro is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription.
