Reedy for Mac — the closest native equivalent
Reedy is a well-liked RSVP reader on Android and in the browser, but there is no first-class Mac app. If you have come looking for “Reedy for Mac”, QuickReadMac is the native answer: the same one-word-at-a-time reading, plus system-wide text capture, local file import and on-device speech.

When Reedy is the better choice
If you read mostly inside a browser on Windows, Linux or a phone, a cross-platform tool will serve you better — QuickReadMac is macOS-only, on purpose. It trades portability for being genuinely native: a system-wide shortcut, local PDF and Word parsing, Apple's on-device voices, and no account or upload anywhere.
When QuickReadMac wins
If your reading happens on a Mac — papers in Preview, docs in Safari, contracts in Word — and you want to press one shortcut on whatever is in front of you and start reading faster, without pasting text into a website, this is what QuickReadMac is for. Three-day free trial, then one payment from $29.99. No subscription.
