What it does

Three things, done well.

Flynx is a small app with a focused idea: help you read more and juggle less.

Open links. Keep moving.

Tap any link in any app. Flynx loads the page in a floating bubble so you never have to leave what you were doing.

  • Floating bubble — always on top, never in the way
  • Multiple bubbles at once, lined up and ready to read
  • Tap to expand, drag to dismiss

02 · Read easily

Reader mode that respects you.

Flynx strips out every ad, popup, and tracker before the page reaches you. What is left is the article — clean, fast, and easy on the eyes.

  • Clutter stripped before download — lighter on data
  • One font, one column, no surprises
  • Designed to be read on a phone

The internet noticed.

A few weeks after launch, Flynx was covered by some of the web's biggest tech publications.

Flynx, an Android app that has just emerged from beta, is a lightweight browser that runs in the background, offering an uninterrupted browsing experience for multitaskers. Wrapped in a minimalist layout that's easy on the eyes, Flynx helps you keep your mobile reading list organized so you don't go flying off into distracting tangents. You can even save content for viewing offline if you run out of time.

The Next Web

Don't interrupt the flow of reading your Twitter or Facebook timeline. Flynx opens any link you tap and shows it as a floating icon, with a loading bar to tell you when the link is ready to read and a Reading Mode that's easy on the eyes. There's also a Night Mode for a white-on-black reading experience, which is more comfortable while reading in the dark, and you can adjust the text size too.
