Block recognized trackers
Tracker protection is applied automatically while you browse. It rejects recognized tracking requests and provides activity details and per-site controls in Privacy and Security.
Beta testing · A calmer way to read on your iPhone
Steady Reader is a web browser and reading tool designed to make mobile reading clearer, more comfortable, and easier to shape around you—with tracker protection, adjustable text, and a focused view of the content you chose.
Reading on a phone should adapt to the person holding it—not ask the person to adapt to a busy page.
Steady Reader’s mission is to make everyday mobile reading more usable and enjoyable by combining a capable browser with automatic protection against recognized trackers, a focused article view, and optional presentation tools.
The app is intended to help readers concentrate on the published content they chose. Reader removes ads, navigation, pop-ups, and other unrelated page elements where practical while retaining useful text, relevant images, captions, and links. It is not intended to change the publisher’s meaning, replace the original page, or promise that every website will work perfectly in Reader mode.
Use the address field to enter a website or search. The Back, Forward, and Reload controls work like those in other browsers.
On a compatible article, tap Read. Steady Reader removes ads and unrelated page clutter where practical, then rebuilds the main story as one continuous surface with relevant headings, text, images, captions, and links.
Pinch in or out to change the text size and let the page reflow around the new setting. This is designed to help readers who need larger close-up text. In Reader, you can also use the text-size buttons, choose a theme, listen to the article, or use available translation controls. Tap Web to return to the original page.
Tracker protection is applied automatically while you browse. It rejects recognized tracking requests and provides activity details and per-site controls in Privacy and Security.
Pinch to enlarge or reduce text while the page reflows to fit. The control is intended to make close-up reading easier without simply magnifying the entire screen.
Reader removes ads, menus, promotional panels, and unrelated information where practical so the publisher’s main text and relevant media are easier to follow.
Open multiple pages, switch between tabs, organize tab groups, and return to recently closed or inactive tabs.
Use bookmarks, folders, History, and the Reading List to find pages again. You can import bookmarks stored in the Files app.
Find text on a page, share or copy a link, print or save a PDF, open downloads, review site permissions, and reach App Info.
Private tabs use a temporary browsing store, are not added to local History, and are not restored after the private session ends.
Some pages do not contain a recognizable article, block extraction, or depend on interactive layouts. Continue in Web view, or use Try Reader when it is offered. Always refer to the original webpage when exact formatting, interactive content, or publisher context matters.
Open Page Actions, then Privacy and Security, to review site permissions, tracking protection, Motion Zoom face-data information, and controls for clearing cache, cookies, History, suggestions, or all browsing data. Clearing data may sign you out of websites.
Important movement warning
Using a browser while walking, running, riding, driving, or otherwise moving can distract you from traffic, obstacles, changes in terrain, and other hazards. Stop in a safe place before reading or interacting with the app.
If you choose to use Steady Reader while moving despite this warning, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk. You are responsible for your actions, decisions, surroundings, and any resulting injury, death, property damage, loss, or harm to yourself or another person.
Stop using Steady Reader if you experience eyestrain, headache, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, or other discomfort. Rest and seek medical advice when symptoms are severe, persistent, or concerning.
Never use the app while driving, cycling, operating machinery, crossing streets, or in any situation where looking at a screen could put you or others at risk. Motion-responsive features do not make screen use safe while moving.
Steady Reader is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or guarantee relief from motion sickness, vision conditions, balance disorders, or any other medical condition.
Begin with comfortable settings and a stable seated or stationary position. Motion-responsive presentation may not feel comfortable for everyone. Turn it off whenever it distracts you or makes reading harder.
Reader mode may omit, reorder, or misinterpret page elements. Use the original webpage to confirm warnings, instructions, prices, dates, legal language, medical information, financial information, and other important details.
Review the destination before entering passwords, payment details, or personal information. Private browsing reduces information retained by Steady Reader, but it does not make you anonymous to websites, networks, or service providers.
Steady Reader is designed so that browser records such as tabs, bookmarks, History, reading-list items, preferences, and downloads stay on your device unless you choose to share or export something. Taylor Made SW LLC does not use the app to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
