Overview

Parsely - Focus Reading Mode Transform how you read online articles. Parsely creates a calm, distraction-free reading environment that helps you focus on what matters - the content.

[How It Works]
Click the Parsely icon on any article page to enter focus mode. The article is presented one paragraph at a time against a clean, dark backdrop, eliminating sidebar clutter, ads, and visual noise. A subtle highlight on the original page shows exactly where you are in the article.

[Key Features]
- Paragraph-by-Paragraph Reading: Navigate through articles at your own pace using arrow keys or scroll
- Progress Tracking: Automatically saves your reading position so you can continue where you left off
- Source Highlighting: See exactly which paragraph you're reading highlighted on the original page
- Bookmarks & Notes: Mark important paragraphs and add personal annotations
- Highlight Notes: Select any text and attach a note to remember key insights
- Customizable Display: Choose from 5 font families, adjust background opacity, and set your preferred font size (16-28px)
- Reading Stats: Track time spent and paragraphs read when you finish an article
- Minimap Navigation: Visual progress indicator shows your position in the article

[Perfect For]
- Long-form articles and essays
- Research and studying
- Reducing reading fatigue
- Staying focused without distractions

[Privacy First]
- Parsely works entirely in your browser. Your reading progress, bookmarks, and notes are stored locally on your device.
