Reading problem

Built for reading, not just chatting.

AI interfaces work well for conversation, but long answers and long threads quickly become difficult to scan, revisit, and read comfortably. ReadBooster gives that content a stable reading workspace with clearer structure, calmer typography, focused navigation, and tools for marking and preparing what matters.

Before

The original conversation

Keep chatting in the familiar source interface until you are ready to read.

After

A stable reading workspace

Read the same content with stable structure, calmer typography, and a navigable outline.

Follow long material without losing the prompts and sections that provide its context.

Reading experiences

Choose how you want to read.

Move between three complementary reading experiences without leaving the conversation behind.

  1. 01
    Document

    Read the full conversation as one continuous structured document.

  2. 02
    Focus

    Concentrate on one response at a time without losing the surrounding conversation.

  3. 03
    Guided Reading

    Emphasize the passage you are currently reading while keeping the rest of the document available. Introduced in version 0.7.4.

Reading goals

Tools that serve the reading, not the other way around.

01 / Read comfortably

Set the pace and shape of the page.

Use Document, Focus, or Guided Reading, then adjust text size, line spacing, content width, and light, dark, or system appearance. Reading presets include Default, Serif, Dyslexia-friendly, and Fast Reading.

  • Default
  • Serif

Guided Reading helps maintain visual focus by reducing competing emphasis while the surrounding context stays visible.

Fast Reading uses the open-source Fast Font project by Born2Root, available under the MIT License.

Choose a reading preset while independently adjusting the page to suit the material.

02 / Stay oriented

Know where you are, even in long content.

Use the document outline, heading navigation, and previous or next controls to move with purpose. Custom section titles, conversation refresh, and source context help the document stay recognisable as it grows.

03 / Mark what matters

Mark important passages and find them again.

Mark important passages and leave your own notes without changing the original content. Highlights and Stickers persist locally with the conversation.

  • Choose from several accessible highlight colours.
  • Review saved passages in the highlights overview.
  • Move to the previous or next highlight.
  • Recolour or remove a highlight when it no longer fits.

03 / Stickers

Local notes that remain connected to the document.

Attach local Stickers to relevant sections, move or collapse them, and use directional indicators to find saved notes above or below your current position.

Highlight a passage when the text itself matters. Add a Sticker when you want to leave your own note for a section.

04 / Prepare what matters

Keep the parts worth returning to.

When something is worth keeping, prepare it as a clean document for printing or PDF.

01

Select and arrange

Choose the sections, Highlights, and Stickers that belong in the document, then reorder sections for the printed version.

02

Shape the page

Add manual page breaks and choose A4 or Letter, portrait or landscape, margins, and spacing.

03

Print when ready

Use the browser’s print controls for a paper copy or Save as PDF when you need a portable document.

The extension is open source, contains no analytics or advertising, and keeps Highlights, Stickers, titles, and preferences in local browser storage.
