Lens is a personal AI accessibility layer. One profile, adapted on every page. The AI runs on your device — your reading never leaves your computer. No overlay toolbar. No site cooperation. No medical labels.
WIRED — The accessibility overlay industry has come under sustained criticism for what an open letter signed by 830+ accessibility professionals describes as systematically degrading rather than improving the experience of users who rely on assistive technology.
Lens takes the inverse architectural posture: rather than asking every website owner to be accessible to every conceivable user, it equips the user with a portable, AI-mediated accessibility layer that travels with them across every page they visit.
User-side, not site-side. Privacy-first by architecture.
Describe how you want the web to behave once. Lens figures out the rest, on every page.
A news article, a legal document, and a checkout form get different treatment for the same user.
Lens uses your browser's built-in AI. Page content never leaves your computer. Works offline. Optionally connect your own Anthropic key for stronger quality.
Lens never traps you. One click, you're back on the original page.
Banking, government, and health portals are off-limits by default. Editable.
Stored on your device. Never sold. Encrypted opt-in sync between your devices.
Not a freemium tier. Not a free trial. No plans to charge.
Every feature. No usage caps. No account. No upsells.
"Lens is built for doing good, not making money. If it helps one person read the web more easily, it's done its job."
