Overview
⚡ Read Faster. Understand More. Stay Private.
SkimFlow AI is a modern speed-reading and AI summarization tool built right into your browser. Whether you're skimming articles, research papers, or PDFs — SkimFlow helps you read up to 3x faster with RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) and get instant AI-powered summaries, all without your data ever leaving your device.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔒 100% ON-DEVICE AI — YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
Unlike cloud-based summarizers, SkimFlow AI uses Chrome's built-in Summarizer API powered by Gemini Nano. Everything runs locally on your machine — no servers, no data uploads, no third-party access. Your reading habits and content remain completely private.

✨ KEY FEATURES
⚡ RSVP Speed Reading
Display words one at a time at your chosen speed (50–1000+ WPM). RSVP eliminates eye movement, helping you read significantly faster while keeping comprehension high.

• Key Points — Bullet-point breakdown of main ideas
• TL;DR — Quick one-paragraph overview

• Headline — Single-line summary
✂️ Read Selected Text
