02 / FIND YOUR READING RHYTHM

Steady Reader

A little emphasis. An easier place to start. Adjust how much of each word is bold, then apply that style to the page you’re reading.

  • Adjustable word-start emphasis
  • Restore the original text whenever you want
  • Page formatting runs locally in your browser

TRY THE READING STYLE

A little space to pause, collect your thoughts, and find your next step.

A style preference, not a treatment for ADHD. Protected pages and some embedded content cannot be formatted.

THE GENTLE PART IS INTENTIONAL.

Helpful should
feel helpful.

Gentle Engine began with a real need: fewer scattered pages, fewer interrupted thoughts, and tools that feel like your own.

Created by Carrie Morrissey, this independent project brings practical tools and personal design together. We’re starting with browser extensions. Coordinating website themes and optional marketing workflow add-ons are next on the drawing board.

Clear about cost.

A few useful details.

Can I download the extensions now?

Not yet. Both products are in development. Store links will appear here when they are ready. No purchases are being accepted at this time.

Does Home Base connect to my calendar or Google Sheets?

The planned core edition includes tasks and notes stored in your Chrome profile. Calendar and Google Sheets connections are not included in this advertised edition. Your shortcuts can open the services you already use.

Where does my information live?

The current extension builds store preferences and dashboard content locally in Chrome. Steady Reader formats text on your device. The paid release’s purchase-activation details will be disclosed before launch. Removing an extension or Chrome profile can remove its local data.

What is coming after these tools?

Website themes with a coordinating visual style, plus optional marketing workflow add-ons. They are planned future products and are not included in the Home Base purchase.
