About Jiffy Reader

Jiffy Reader is an extension that allows for Bionic Reading on any website!

Jiffy Reader uses Bionic Reading to help you to read faster, better, easier and with more incredible focus than ever before.

Jiffy Reader creates focus points based on the principles of Bionic Reading that guide your eyes and make it easier to glide through text. The focus points are created by manipulating font weights, opacity and color.

With Jiffy Reader you customize how the text is manipulated to create focus points.

Jiffy Reader's goals are to make reading, fun, comfortable and easy while reading. Basically, we want you to have the best Bionic Reading experience possible when compared to other Bionic Reader extensions.

We have received lots of love and support from many people some of whom have expressed how Jiffy Readers helps improve their reading and focus with ADHD and academic work.

We hope that by using the Jiffy Reader extension you too will be able to read large amounts of text faster, more easily, with greater comprehension and focus.
