Overview

Soft Reader is a low-glare document reader for people who spend long hours with bright files on screen.

It opens supported PDF and DOCX documents in a custom dark reading workspace with a subtle background, page-first layout, and a calmer visual tone than pure black themes.

Why people use it:

- Read bright documents with less visual aggression.
- Keep the focus on the page instead of a heavy interface.
- Drop local files directly into the reader.
- Switch between subtle tone presets for different reading conditions.
- Use a lightweight On / Off popup when you want Chrome to handle files normally.

Current features:

- Dark reading mode for PDF and DOCX
- Page only reading mode
- Direct URL support for compatible documents
- Local drag-and-drop workspace
- Interface languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic

Soft Reader is designed as an accessibility-minded reading tool for people who prefer softer document contrast, work at night, or are sensitive to bright white backgrounds.
