You still think of yourself as a reader. The unread pile says otherwise. The problem usually isn't time. Your eyes jump ahead and dart back until you've read the same paragraph four times, and the book goes back on the pile.Stillpoint holds every word at one still point instead. Drop in a PDF or EPUB and the words come to you, one at a time or in short phrases, aligned so the letter your eye locks onto never moves. After a minute it feels less like reading and more like listening.Privacy you can verify: there is no server. Parsing, your library, highlights and reading positions all live in your browser, and your files never leave the device. Open the network tab and check.Documents survive the stream: tables, images, figures and code are shown as the real thing, not read out as word soup.Built for finishing: no speed-reading hype. Most people settle around 400 to 600 words a minute, dense sentences slow down by themselves, and progress is chapter-scoped like an audiobook.No account, no upload, works offline as an installable PWA. Free forever, funded by a tip jar. Honest limits: scanned image-only PDFs need OCR and there is none yet, and DRM'd EPUBs won't open.
