Manifesto
We’d rather be useful than addictive.
The feed wants you. It wants thirty minutes of you, twice a day, every day, for the rest of your life. That is the deal it offers — slow leaks of context-free novelty in exchange for the attention you used to spend on your career, your friends, your home.
A daily brief, not a feed
Scrollcut watches the same firehose you would, and at 09:00 UTC it ships you a single page. Five to ten items. Opportunities first. One reason each thing matters now. One thing you could do today. End of brief.
If you read everything, you’re done — close the tab, go to lunch, get back to your real work. We don’t want you in the app. We want you to finish.
Anti-features, on purpose
- No infinite scroll. There is a literal end of the page.
- No engagement metrics. We won’t track how long you read.
- No DM templates or auto-replies. The brief points you at the door — you walk through it.
- No notifications past one daily email. Nothing buzzes you.
- No dark patterns to keep you in the app. If you cancel, you cancel.
Bring your own signal
Scrollcut is yours. The signal that ranks tomorrow’s brief comes from your saves, your bookmarks, your Notion plans — not from a global engagement model. When you tell us what you’re aiming at, we trust you. When you change direction, the brief follows on the next compose.
A note on attention
Attention is the only finite resource you actually own. We’d like to give some back.
