DoomScroller

in development

Your personal portal to the internet. YouTube subscriptions sorted into your own groups, RSS discussions, news, blogs and podcasts, plus vibes that cut across everything. AI curates the feed once; the app runs the daily chores. No recommendation engine, no doom you didn't ask for.

Get DoomScroller Read the guide

There is no setup wizard. Your AI is the setup wizard.

  1. Open it. First launch seeds a starter set of feeds, so the scroll is alive before you touch anything. The welcome screen offers a summoning prompt; copy it.
  2. Paste it to your AI. Anything that can read and write files on your machine works. Claude and ChatGPT are both tested.
  3. The app briefs the agent. It has already written a manual for AI helpers into its config folder: what the files mean, what the rules are, and that it should interview you first.
  4. The agent interviews you. What you watch to learn, what you watch to relax, what you never want to see again.
  5. Watch it rearrange. The agent rewrites your feeds, and the app reloads them live as the files are saved.
  6. It remembers. Your answers land in a taste file in the same folder, so the next session picks up where this one left off.

No API keys, no accounts, nothing to sign up for. Your whole setup is plain YAML in a folder, so anything the agent can do you can also do yourself in a text editor.

The daily dose, in the flesh

Why it feels different

Your AI runs the place

Point Claude or ChatGPT at the config folder and describe the feed you wish you had. The app reorganizes itself live while you watch.

Polite polling

Backoff, caching, no hammering, no live ticker. The doom will be there when you look.

Local everything

No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your feeds are readable files on your own disk.

Vibes and relics

Moods that cut across every section, and stars for the things that deserve to outlive the scroll.

Doom decay

A rolling window, not an archive of the internet. Old doom rots away on schedule; relics are kept forever.

Signed and sealed

Windows builds are code signed by Odikon AS, and every release ships GPG signed checksums.

Choose your doom

Get DoomScroller The vault opens for the invited. Speak the password. Read the guide Answers before you ask: setup, AI curation, polling, the skull. Also your support desk, in the sense that it answers and never sleeps.

Every release is signed and checksummed. The doom is inevitable; tampering is not.
