About FocusFlow Reader
FocusFlow Reader turns any article, blog post, or long-form page into a calm,
distraction-free reading view — in one click. It strips away ads, navigation
bars, sidebars, popups, and forms, and rebuilds the content as a clean,
comfortable reader overlay right on the page. No accounts, no setup, no
waiting: open a page, trigger Reader Mode, and just read.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• One-click reader view — a polished overlay replaces the cluttered page
instantly, with no reload and no leaving the site.
• Automatic clutter removal — ads, nav bars, sidebars, footers, forms,
cookie banners, and other distractions are stripped so only the words,
headings, and images remain.
• Heading outline — every heading becomes a clickable outline in a side
panel, so you can skim and jump through long reads effortlessly.
• Multi-section navigation — pages with several content sections get a
simple carousel bar (previous / next) to move between them.
• Light, dark, and system themes — pick a theme or let FocusFlow Reader
follow your operating system's light/dark setting automatically.
• Reading comforts built in — toggle images on or off, show or hide the
outline, and jump to the top or bottom of the article with floating
scroll buttons.
• Keyboard-first — toggle Reader Mode anytime with Alt+Shift+R
(Option+Shift+R on Mac).
HOW TO USE
1. Open any article or long-form page.
2. Start Reader Mode in whichever way you like:
– Click the FocusFlow Reader icon in the toolbar, then "Open Reader Mode"
– Right-click the page and choose "Open Reader Mode"
– Press Alt+Shift+R (Option+Shift+R on Mac)
3. Read. Use the top bar to toggle images or the outline, switch themes,
or close the reader to return to the original page exactly as it was.
PRIVACY
FocusFlow Reader works entirely on your device. All page processing happens
locally in your browser — the text you read is never sent anywhere. The
extension collects no personal data, no analytics, and no browsing history.
The only thing it stores is your theme preference (light/dark/system), saved
locally in chrome.storage on your own machine. No remote code is loaded or
executed.
