ClearRead was developed as an entry for the Swift Student Challenge 2026.
I was selected as one of 350 winners worldwide and invited to attend WWDC26 at Apple Park. 🥳

ClearRead is an iOS reading app designed to reduce friction for readers, especially people with dyslexia or ADHD. It helps you import text quickly, read with focused typography, and use on-device AI tools to simplify or explain difficult passages.
