How it works
You reach for Instagram or TikTok. Raptus intercepts — not with a wall, but with a short paragraph of text. 90 seconds max.
Guide your finger along each line. This is a speed reading technique. Your brain learns to eliminate subvocalization — the bottleneck slowing you down.
Finished? 15 minutes unlocked. You earned it. Over 30 days, your reading speed doubles. You start thinking faster than people around you.

Why Raptus works
You already reach for Instagram 80 times a day. Raptus doesn't fight that. It attaches to the trigger and redirects the first 90 seconds.
Your reading speed in words per minute is tracked daily. "You now read faster than 89% of people your age." That number is addictive.
You choose: tech, business, psychology, science. The algorithm adjusts difficulty automatically. Never too easy. Never overwhelming.
You don't delete Instagram. You earn it. After 30 days users report reading the equivalent of 6 books — without trying to read a single one.
Join the waitlist. First 100 members get lifetime access for $19/year. No app yet — just your spot.
