Read more in less time. Rive uses RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation) to show you one word at a time at a pace you choose—so you stay focused, reduce subvocalization, and build real speed-reading habits.
READ ANYTHING
• Start instantly with eight classic books built in: Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Treasure Island, A Tale of Two Cities, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Ulysses, and Wuthering Heights
• Paste any text—articles, notes, chapters—and start reading in seconds
• Import from the web: paste a URL and Rive fetches and extracts the main article text
• Share from Safari, Notes, or any app: use the Share sheet and choose Rive to add it to your library
(Free includes the eight classics plus your first few imports; Rive Pro unlocks unlimited imports—see below.)
SMART RSVP READER
• One word at a time, with the optimal recognition point (ORP) highlighted so your eyes land in the right place
• Adjust speed from 150 to 900 words per minute with a simple slider—find the pace that fits you
• Jump back or forward 10 words anytime; play and pause with one tap
• Progress is saved automatically. Pick up exactly where you left off, across all your items
TRAIN YOUR SPEED
• Find Your Speed — Gradually increases pace so you discover your comfortable reading speed (free)
• Two more guided modes—Build Speed and Comfort & Focus—are included with Rive Pro (see below)
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• See total words read, total time read, and your average WPM
• Filter stats by today, this week, this month, or all time
• Yearly streak calendar shows every day you read or trained—build a habit that sticks
RIVE PRO
Upgrade to unlock everything:
• Unlimited imports — save articles, books, and pasted text without limit
• All training modes — Build Speed and Comfort & Focus, alongside Find Your Speed
• Reading insights — trend charts for words read, reading speed, and training progress over time (7, 30, and 90-day views)
• Support an independent developer building Rive
Rive Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings.
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
• Clean, minimal reader so you focus on the words
• Optional accent themes (e.g. blue, green) for the interface and reading highlight
• Light and dark mode support
Rive is built for anyone who wants to read more without spending more time—whether you're catching up on articles, revisiting classics, or training yourself to read faster and with better focus.
