The quiet page is not empty.
It is arranged so the words carry the weight, and nothing else competes for your eyes.
Alt+Z · toggled in under a second
One shortcut turns any article into reading mode — and back — without leaving the page.
Adjust font, size, line height, and reading width once. Zen Reader carries it everywhere.
Pomodoro timer and reading-progress cues for when you actually need to finish something.
Bookmark any article to your personal library and come back to it from any device.
Select any passage to highlight and save it. Your marks stay attached to the page.
Save any article — or AI chat thread — as a clean Markdown file with one click.
Have the article read aloud to you. Keep reading with your ears when your eyes need a break.
Track what you have read, how much, and how recently — private to your account, visible only to you.
Strip images from the page for a fully text-focused view with zero visual distraction.
Pick a theme, a type size, a reading width you like — Zen Reader carries those choices to the next page, and the one after that.
Nothing is sent anywhere. Preferences live in your browser.

If you sign in, your library, highlights, and stats sync to your private account so they follow you across devices; only you can read them. We don't track your browsing, build a profile, or sell anything to anyone. Don't sign in, and nothing leaves your browser at all.
