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
