CLI

The Rapid Reader CLI lets you send content to the app directly from your terminal. Pipe in text, pass a file, or read from your clipboard — all without leaving the command line.

Installation

Install the CLI globally via npm:

npm install -g @rsvp/cli

Or with your preferred package manager:

pnpm add -g @rsvp/cli
# or
yarn global add @rsvp/cli

Usage

Read a File

Pass any supported file (PDF, EPUB, Markdown, or plain text) to open it in Rapid Reader:

rsvp read document.pdf
rsvp read book.epub
rsvp read notes.md

Pipe Text

Pipe output from any command directly into the reader:

cat article.txt | rsvp read
curl -s https://example.com/article | rsvp read

Read from Clipboard

Read whatever is currently on your clipboard:

rsvp read --clipboard

Send to Cloud Inbox

If you have a Pro account with cloud sync, send content to your cloud inbox so it appears across all your devices:

rsvp send document.pdf
rsvp send --clipboard

This requires an API key. Generate one in Preferences > Apps in the web or desktop app.

Configuration

Set your API key for cloud features:

rsvp config set api-key YOUR_API_KEY

View current configuration:

rsvp config list
