Cognitive Workflow — ADHD & Distraction-Free Reading

AI Chrome extension for ADHD & focused reading: stop losing your place to tab rabbit holes.

For readers with ADHD or executive-function overload, switching tabs to look up one unfamiliar term often derails a 45-minute reading session. Vezz me keeps the answer right on the page so you never leave your flow.

Best fit

Best for neurodivergent readers, students, and knowledge workers who want to eliminate context-switching traps and 'wall of text' paralysis.

Step-by-step workflow

How to run this workflow in place.

1

Break 'wall of text' paralysis on dense paragraphs

When your eyes glaze over a 300-word block of text, highlight it and press your shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+X) to get a clear 3-bullet entry point.

2

Never open a 'quick Google tab' mid-article

Looking up one acronym in a new tab leads to 12 open tabs and a forgotten article. Answering in place protects your working memory.

3

Tune the panel for calm visual ergonomics

Customize panel colors, opacity, font size, and auto-hide timers so the overlay feels calm and non-intrusive.

Key details

Why this approach works better than switching tabs.

Why context switching is the #1 enemy of focused reading
Every time you leave a webpage to open a search tab or chatbot, your brain has to hold the original sentence in working memory while navigating a new UI.
  • On-screen answers keep the source paragraph and the explanation in the same visual field
  • Zero unsolicited popups or blinking sidebar icons while you are reading normally
  • Use the ELI5 Bridge or Executive 3-Bullet Brief preset to create an instant 'cognitive ramp' into hard material
Customizable UI that respects sensory preferences
Bright white popups or cluttered multi-tab sidebars can feel overwhelming.
  • Set soft custom background and text colors in the Vezz me popup
  • Configure an auto-hide timer or dismiss with a single click so the page returns immediately to normal
  • Works identically across Chrome and Firefox
Frequently asked questions

Common questions about cognitive workflow — adhd & distraction-free reading.

Will Vezz me distract me with popups when I'm just highlighting text to read?

No! Many ADHD readers highlight text with their cursor as an eye-tracking anchor while reading. Because Vezz me only activates when you press your keyboard shortcut (not on mouse selection), you can highlight text as much as you want with zero popups.

Which prompt preset is best for getting unstuck on a dense paragraph?

We recommend importing the 'Executive 3-Bullet Brief' preset (for fast structure) and the 'ELI5 + Real Technical Mapping' preset (for intuitive analogies).
