Why Devoro

Tame the feed.

350 WPM

You might notice something funny happening right now. There's a voice in your head trying to pronounce every single word as it flashes by. That's subvocalization, your brain insisting that reading means "hearing." But your eyes are actually much faster than that inner narrator.

The uncomfortable part is letting go. It feels like you'll miss everything if you stop sounding out the words. You won't. Your brain is perfectly capable of grabbing meaning without the audio track. Give it a few moments and you'll feel the shift. You'll surprise yourself, understanding without hearing.

Once the voice quiets down, your attention has nowhere to hide. There's no skimming, no zoning out halfway through a paragraph. Every word gets its moment, and your focus has to keep up. It's surprisingly good exercise for your brain and your attention.

That's what Devoro is built around. You pick any topic, and the app creates a short read just for you. Five minutes lost to a feed you won't remember turn into five minutes where you actually learn something. The more your attention gets trained, the more your curiosity gets fed.

What feels uncomfortable now will feel natural after just a few sessions. Speeds that seem impossible today, like 900 or even 1200 words per minute, become reachable with practice. Imagine how much you could learn at those speeds.

Try it. This is how every read in Devoro looks. [6]

Devoro gives your attention one word at a time, in one spot. Nothing to skim, nowhere to drift. Turn up the speed and it becomes a workout.

Slow your breath, settle on one spot and let the words arrive. It's a few minutes of calm focus, and every read is something you chose to learn.

Devoro is a speed reader first. If you'd like a nudge, switch on App lock under your daily goal: the apps you pick stay shut until you've read today, then open for the rest of the day.

  1. Switch it on: Settings, Daily goal, “Lock apps until I hit it”. Off unless you turn it on.
  2. Pick your apps: The feed, short videos, anything your thumb finds on its own.
  3. Read first: Open one early and your read is waiting. Hit your goal and they open until tomorrow.

Questions, answered.

Devoro is built to replace the scroll with something just as quick but worth your time. Read your own content or learn something new, one word at a time, and finish with a quiz.

Most people get comfortable at 400 to 600 words per minute after a few sessions. With practice, much faster becomes realistic without turning into a blur.

It gives the same restless moment a better place to go. You still get something new, but the session has one target, an end, and something worth remembering.

Yes. Paste a link, import a PDF or EPUB, add plain text, or share from another app. Devoro doesn't get around paywalls.

No. On iPhone your picks stay on your phone, inside Apple's Screen Time framework. On Android, Devoro only notices which app opened, never what's on screen, and nothing leaves your phone.

Devoro is live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on Google Play for Android.
