Comfy Reader

Comfy Reader is a simplistic app optimized for touch-supported devices that are running Windows 8, 8.1 and 10, such as desktops, tablets, notebooks or laptops.

It creates a comfortable and distraction-free environment for reading articles by getting rid of graphical elements from web pages, leaving behind only the text content. This way, you can focus on school or work projects without taking a peek at anything else that's unrelated.

Since this is an app trusted by Microsoft, it can be effortlessly downloaded from the Windows Store and integrated with your Start Screen or Menu, as well as any apps capable of sharing web links, such as Internet Explorer.

While surfing the Internet, if you stumble upon an article that you think deserves your full, undivided attention, you can open the Share charm, select Comfy Reader and tap the Read Now button. This opens the app right away, which gives you the possibility to read the article even if your Internet connection is no longer active, in an offline environment.

It's possible to store as many articles as you want in the "to be read" area, mark them as read, as well as delete the ones you have finished with. Thanks to Windows built-in options, you can also take a screenshot of the app and share it with your friends using Twitter, OneNote or another Modern UI program you have installed.

All things considered, Comfy Reader doesn't bring anything new to the table and doesn't have richer options or customization properties, such as the ability to change the font and color, or at least a night reading mode (dark theme). Nevertheless, it creates a clean, distraction-free environment for reading favorite content, so you can check it out for yourself.
