Rapid Reader 1.1.0: Your Settings, Remembered

Your reading preferences now persist between sessions, plus a quicker way to adjust your reading speed.

#release-notes#settings#wpm#usability

Version 1.1.0 focuses on quality-of-life improvements that make your daily reading sessions smoother. Your settings now save automatically, and adjusting your reading speed is faster than ever.

What’s New

Persistent Playback Settings

No more re-adjusting your preferences every time you open the app. Rapid Reader now automatically saves your playback settings between sessions. Your reading speed, font choice, theme, and other preferences will be exactly how you left them.

  • Settings save automatically
  • Works across browser sessions (web app)
  • Syncs when you return to the app

WPM Popover for Direct Speed Editing

Want to set a precise reading speed? Click on the WPM (words per minute) display to open a new popover where you can type your exact target speed. This is faster than using the slider when you know exactly what speed you want.

  • Click the WPM number to edit directly
  • Type any value from 100 to 1500 WPM
  • Press Enter or click away to apply
