I a world full of digital distractions, reading online can feel overwhelming—especially for people with ADHD or neurodivergent minds. Auto-playing videos, blinking ads, endless comment sections, and walls of unformatted text make it hard to concentrate. This is where Zen Reader comes in.
Zen Reader is a free Chrome extension that transforms chaotic webpages into clean, structured, and calming reading experiences. Designed specifically for those who struggle with attention, it removes the noise and presents information in digestible, scrollable blocks—restoring focus and turning reading into a zen-like experience.

Why Zen Reader Was Built
As the internet grew more complex, so did its noise. While Readability Mode or Reader View existed, they lacked personalization and the right kind of structure for people who need more than just a decluttered screen.
Zen Reader was built with the ADHD user in mind—someone who wants:
Less scrolling, more comprehension
Visually clear reading blocks
A sense of progression while navigating content
Optional text-to-speech
The goal? Not just to simplify webpages, but to make reading online a focused and rewarding activity.

Features That Make Zen Reader Different
1. Block-by-Block Reading
Instead of dumping the entire article at once, Zen Reader breaks it into sections that you scroll through at your own pace. This reduces cognitive overload and creates a feeling of progression.
2. Distraction-Free View
Ads, popups, floating videos, sidebars—gone. Zen Reader filters them all out, leaving just the content you came for.
3. Text-to-Speech (TTS)
Built-in TTS allows users to listen to content in a calm, neutral voice. Perfect for multitasking or for auditory learners.
4. Custom Styling Options (Coming Soon)
Soon you'll be able to adjust font size, line height, and color themes to match your preferences—just like reading in your own space.
5. Lightweight & Private
Zen Reader doesn't track your activity, doesn't bloat your browser, and doesn’t inject code into every page you visit. It only activates when you want it to.

Who Is Zen Reader For?
While anyone can benefit from a calmer reading environment, Zen Reader is especially useful for:
People with ADHD or attention challenges
Neurodivergent users looking for sensory simplicity
Students and researchers reading long articles
Readers who get easily overwhelmed by cluttered webpages
If you've ever clicked on an interesting article and closed it 10 seconds later due to distraction, this tool is for you.

Why Zen Reader Matters
There’s a growing awareness around mental health and neurodiversity, but few tools are built with those realities in mind. Zen Reader is part of a new wave of assistive technology—not just for accessibility, but for empowered and peaceful interaction with the internet.
Reading shouldn’t feel like a fight against the page. With Zen Reader, it doesn’t have to.
