Pressly Hover

One word at your pointer · for Mac

Let the paragraph stay where it is.

Hover over text in the app you already use. Pressly brings each word into focus beside your cursor, then moves with you.

A quiet document

Attention has somewhere to return.

Reading on a screen asks your eyes to travel across every line. Pressly Hover lets the text remain in place while each word appears beside your pointer. Move across this paragraph, click any word, and notice how the reading begins exactly where you choose.

Reading without a new reading app

The word comes to you.

Pressly Hover stays out of the way until text deserves your attention.

01

Hover a paragraph.

Pressly finds readable text in the current app and begins beside your pointer.

02

Click where you mean.

Jump directly to the word under your cursor instead of restarting the paragraph.

03

Move. It moves too.

The reader remains attached to your cursor, or waits in the corner you choose.

Direct from the menu bar

Your pace is never buried.

Open Pressly Hover from the top of your screen and tune the reading while you are still in the document.

It reads the screen.
It does not upload it.

Pressly uses macOS Accessibility access to find readable text under your pointer. The paragraph, your pace, and your preferences stay on your Mac.
