An ADHD accessibility plugin that applies Bionic Reading formatting to notes in Obsidian's Reading/Preview mode.
Features

How It Works
The plugin hooks into Obsidian's Markdown post-processor pipeline. When you switch to Reading mode, it processes each text node and bolds the first portion of every word — creating visual fixation anchors that guide your eyes and improve reading speed.
