Make reading count

The ADHD reading app for dyslexia & neurodivergent minds.

Five reading modes built for the way different brains read, plus AI study tools and accessibility that’s free for everyone, forever. Read your way, at your own pace.

5 reading modes Accessibility always free Built for ADHD & dyslexia Free on Google Play

Accruva is a reading tool, not a medical product. It doesn’t diagnose or treat ADHD, dyslexia, or any condition.

Most reading apps were built for one kind of brain.

If your attention drifts three lines in, if the words seem to shift on the page, if a wall of text makes you want to shut the book before you start, that is not a flaw in you. Most reading tools simply were not built for the way you read.

Accruva starts from the opposite idea: brains read differently, and the app should adapt to you, not the other way round. So instead of one rigid technique, you get five reading modes, study tools that handle the busywork, and a layout you can shape around your focus.

And every accessibility feature is free. Not behind a paywall, not limited to a trial. Free for everyone, because reading tools should work for every brain.

Reading modes built for ADHD and dyslexia.

No two brains read the same way, so Accruva gives you five distinct reading modes. Match your approach to the material and to how your focus feels today. Every mode is free, on every plan.

Focus (RSVP) For deep concentration
Single-word display with optimal-recognition-point highlighting and adjustable guidance, so your eyes stay still and your brain does the reading. Up to 400 WPM on Free, 1,000 on Pro, or slow right down when you need to.
Free
Teleprompter For natural reading flow
Smooth, upward-scrolling text with the current line highlighted, like an autocue. Choose how many lines you see at once.
Free
Chunking For dense academic text
Groups words into small phrases so dense text arrives in manageable pieces instead of one overwhelming block. The active group stays highlighted.
Free
Bold Flow For contextual speed
Bolds the first part of each word as a visual anchor for your eye. Some readers find it helps them move through text; the evidence is mixed, so we offer it as one option among five. Three intensity levels, auto or manual scroll.
Free
Scroll For annotation sessions
Free-form scrollable text with your position tracked. Built for highlighting, note-taking, and slow, deep study where speed is not the point.
Free

One upload. Three ways to remember it.

You’ve done the reading. Now let AI handle the busywork. Drop in a document and Accruva turns it into study material, then schedules your reviews so it sticks.

We designed Accruva for neurodivergent readers from day one, not as an afterthought. Every accessibility feature is free. Not locked behind a paywall, not limited to a trial. Free, full stop.

The kind of motivation that makes you actually open the app.

Streaks, badges, heatmaps, and mastery rings turn reading into a habit worth keeping, with the data to show you’re improving.

Achievement Badges
Unlock achievements as you read, across categories that reward consistency, range, and the occasional late-night chapter.

Milestone celebrations, evolving streak flames, freezes for the days life gets in the way, and a recovery window so one missed day doesn’t wipe the slate.

A GitHub-style reading heatmap, WPM progress charts, mastery rings, lifetime stats, and per-document analytics.

What sets the ADHD reading app apart.
