DyslexiaAway
Extension Actions
A simple browser extension that applies a dyslexic-friendly font. For some of us, that small change makes reading a lot easier.
Features:
• Fonts: Choose from Andika, Lexend, Shantell Sans, OpenDyslexic, Atkinson Hyperlegible, or use any custom font available on your system.
• Adjustable spacing: Change letter spacing, word spacing, and line height.
• Site exclusion: Skip pages where the font change isn't needed.
• Light & dark themes: Matches your system theme or choose manually.
• Minimal overhead: Runs with near-zero CPU usage. Stays asleep unless settings change.
• No data collection: Everything happens locally. No tracking or ads.
Why I built this:
I've always struggled with reading. Whenever I faced a wall of text, I'd instinctively reach for audios, videos, or anything visual instead. Traditional fonts just felt heavy and exhausting to concentrate on. Discovering dyslexic-friendly fonts made reading less boring and actually enjoyable.
I tried many great accessibility tools, but I found I just needed something minimalist and fast: only the font, spacing, and site exclusions. I created this to solve my own struggle, and I hope it helps you too.
Open Source:
This is my small contribution to a community that's given me so much. The code is fully open on GitHub if you want to peek under the hood:

- Amazing extension!!! I was struggle to read different websites, since the font changes from one to another. And you even included Atkinson Hyperlegible, which in my option it's the best one out there Thank you!
