Keep Your Place While Reading

Reading long blocks of text online, it's easy to lose your place. Your eyes drift to the wrong line. You re-read the same sentence twice.

The reading guide adds a horizontal bar that follows your cursor. Move down the page, and the guide moves with you. Your eyes always know where to look.

Learn how to use the Reading Guide


What You Can Customize

Color: Pick any color that helps you track your position without being distracting.

Width: Make it thin and subtle or thicker and more visible.

Transparency: Adjust how solid or see-through the guide is.

Lock position: Keep the guide in one place if you prefer.


How It Helps

Prevents line skipping: Your eyes won't accidentally jump to the wrong line.

Reduces re-reading: You know exactly where you stopped.

Less mental effort: Instead of actively tracking your position, the guide does it for you.

Supports dyslexia: Visual guides help many readers with dyslexia maintain their place in text.
