Bold-anchor reading
Leading letters are emphasised word by word, giving your eyes a consistent point to catch as you scan each line.
Focus reader for iPhone and iPad
Read long text without losing your place.
BioReading adds a bold anchor to the start of every word, so your eyes have something clear to lock onto while you move through articles, PDFs, notes, and pasted text.

The slider below mirrors the app's Focus control. It adjusts how much of each word BioReading emphasises.
Reading controls
Focus intensity
A lighter setting is subtle. A stronger setting creates a more obvious anchor for dense paragraphs.
What's inside
A reader that stays out of the way.
BioReading keeps the surface simple: bring text in, adjust how it reads, and keep moving.
Share from anywhere
Use the iOS Share sheet from Safari, Mail, Files, Notes, or any app that can send text, links, PDFs, RTF, or HTML.
A library that remembers
Everything you share or write is saved on your device with a read-progress bar, so you can close the app and pick up exactly where you stopped.
Clean article extraction
Shared links are reduced to their readable article text so ads, popups, sidebars, and navigation chrome do not follow you in.
Adjustable focus
Set exactly how much of each word is bold, from a quiet guide to a stronger visual anchor for harder reads.
Comfortable typography
Change text size and line spacing, then read in Light, Dark, or System theme depending on the room and time of day.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, no ads. Pasted and shared text is processed on your device.
How it works
From any app to a clean read in seconds.
BioReading uses the Share sheet flow that already exists on iPhone and iPad. No account setup — everything you send in is saved to your Library and reopens where you left off.
Choose text, a link, or a document
Start with a web article, a selectable PDF, an RTF/HTML file, a note, or plain pasted text.
Tap Share and pick BioReading
The share extension copies the content into a pending import and hands it to the app.
Read in the focused view
The reader opens with bold anchors applied and the same settings you used last time.
Saved to your Library, resume anytime
Every reading is kept with its progress, so you can close the app and reopen exactly where you left off.

Privacy
Your reading is not a data source.
BioReading has no accounts, analytics, or ads. Text you paste or share is processed locally. When you share a link, the app fetches that page directly from its website only to extract readable text.
