What Readlax is
Readlax is a productivity platform combining habit tracking, brain training, speed reading, touch typing, smart notes, reader view, and a focus timer. Brain games address memory, speed reading, focus and concentration, and mental math. Reading practice uses games, mini books, news, and tests for reading speed and comprehension. Smart Notes supports Markdown, linked-note graphs, attachments, folders, tags, and change tracking. The Chrome and Edge Reader View extension removes ads and distractions, highlights phrases, and reads articles aloud with text to speech. Its Focus Timer uses 25-minute work periods and five-minute breaks. Habit tracking includes a to-do list plus daily mood, sleep-hour, and water records. Readlax lists web, iPhone, Android, and browser-extension access, with progress syncing across devices. It is paid, has no free plan, and advertises a free trial without stating its duration. Monthly, yearly, and lifetime subscriptions are described; monthly and yearly plans renew automatically.
