Your shelf · Set in OpenDyslexic · Tonight
A dyslexia-friendly reading app, with the load shared
Concrete things first: the OpenDyslexic typeface is available on every book in the catalog, the type scales as large as you like, there are three calm themes including a high-warmth paper, and the audiobook can read along so eyes and ears split the work. None of it is a separate mode, none of it costs extra, and switching takes two taps.

What a page looks like
This is the opening of Wuthering Heights set in OpenDyslexic on the Refined Dark theme, speaker colors on — a real render, not a mock-up. The heavy letter bottoms are the typeface’s signature; many readers find it keeps letters from flipping and lines from swimming. If it does nothing for you, the serif and system faces are one tap away — it is a menu, not a commitment.

Your shelf · The rest of the kit
Five things, each small, that stack
- OpenDyslexic everywhere. Not on a special shelf — every book, including anything a Plus member has prepared on demand.
- Type size without penalty. Scale up and the layout re-flows; the page count adjusts and the audio sync follows. Nothing breaks at large sizes.
- Three quiet themes. Refined Dark, Warm Paper — a low-glare, high-warmth cream many readers find gentlest — and Soft Light. All three keep the same verified contrast for every speaker color.
- Audio that reads along. Complete LibriVox recordings matched page by page, 1× to 2×. When decoding is expensive, the narration carries the line and the eyes confirm it — details on the read-along page.
- Colors that make lost places cheap. Losing your line costs less when the paragraph you need is the teal one. Speaker colors and the scene banner mean recovery is a glance, not a re-read.
Your shelf · For the resource lists
For librarians and the people who make lists
If you maintain a resource page for readers who want classic literature with OpenDyslexic and synchronized audio in one place: that is precisely what this is, the relevant titles are all Project Gutenberg texts, the audio is LibriVox, and the featured books are free in full. Questions to hello@chromatics.mobile — a human answers.
OpenDyslexic, the warm theme, and a narrator who keeps your place — set once, then just read.
