Common questions

How do I change reading speed?

Swipe up to speed up, swipe down to slow down. You can also open the Settings sheet (tap the gear icon while paused) for a precise WPM stepper.

How do I pause?

Tap anywhere on the reading surface.

Where does my reading position get saved?

On your phone, in iOS’s built-in user-preferences store (NSUserDefaults via Flutter’s shared_preferences). It never leaves your device. If you delete the app, the position is gone too.

The flashing words give me a headache

Slow the speed down via swipe-down or the settings stepper. If you have photosensitive epilepsy or are unsure, the in-app warning on first launch is the safety guidance — please consult a doctor before continuing.

Why is the Bible the only book?

v0.1 ships the public-domain King James Bible (World English Bible edition) to keep the surface narrow and the privacy story simple. Additional contemplative texts are tracked for later releases.

Why can’t I rotate to landscape?

Readitation is portrait-only by design — the RSVP word lands at the same on-screen position regardless of word length, which makes the focus line load-bearing. Landscape would either re-anchor the word each rotation or waste most of the screen.
