FOCUS CHALLENGES
Choose a reading challenge that gives your attention a direction.
Velocity challenges turn an intention into a clear reading session. They range from accessible early sessions to hard-mode tests of pace, endurance, and consistency. A challenge is not a judgment; it is a boundary that makes beginning easier.
Start with a clear win
Use a short session when you are building a return-to-reading habit. The goal is to finish with enough energy to come back tomorrow.
Build endurance deliberately
Long-form challenges use sessions of up to 10,000 words. They work best when you choose a pace that lets you remain present rather than forcing yourself to rush.
Use Hard Mode intentionally
Hard Mode includes higher speed and longer-session tests, including 700–1,000 WPM options. It is there for people who want a meaningful stretch, not as a requirement for progress.
How completion works
When you finish an active challenge session, Velocity records the completion locally in your browser. Your challenge record stays on your device unless you clear browser storage.
