BrainFeed — Turn doomscrolling into learning

Open Loop

The 5 minutes you opened your phone for became 47.

Where did the time go?

The feed didn't ask you for a decision. It just kept giving you the next thing. By the time you noticed, the five minutes were forty-seven and there was nothing to show for them.

You didn't fail at attention. You met a system designed to remove every stopping cue.

Contrarian

Most learning apps lose at the exact moment social apps win.

They ask for intent. They ask you to switch into study mode. They ask for a streak. Idle scrolling has none of that — and that's the moment most people actually open their phone.

BrainFeed doesn't fight the habit. It redirects it.

Instant Value

Same scroll. Different ending.

You still flick through fast cards. They still hit fast. But the ones you stop on leave a fact, a frame, or a question behind — not just stimulation.

Open Loop

How the feed bends to your goals.

You don't pick categories. You describe a real goal in a short chat. BrainFeed structures it and weaves it into the feed.

Step 01 · Chat

Talk through the goal.

A short conversation gathers context. No forms. No categories. You say what you actually want to get better at.

Step 02 · Extract

BrainFeed structures it.

The chat becomes a usable learning direction — title, angle, intensity, depth. Editable in one screen.

Step 03 · Weave

Pick how strong it should be.

Light, Balanced, or Focused. That controls how much of the feed points at the goal versus your broader interests.

Contrarian

What you almost forgot, comes back.

Underneath the scroll, BrainFeed runs spaced repetition. The things that almost slipped come back. The things you nailed wait longer.

Step 01 · Topics

Every topic has its own memory.

Cards belong to topics. Each topic carries its own schedule. Skipping noise doesn't punish you. Stopping on something does.

Step 02 · Spacing

The harder it was, the sooner it returns.

Struggle on a quiz and the topic comes back fast. Nail it and the interval stretches — 4 days → 9 → 21 → 47 → a year. FSRS under the hood.

Step 03 · Memory tab

Your own knowledge portfolio.

Not "342 cards read." Solid retention on the concepts you care about, and a queue of what's due. One question per topic when you tap in. No flooding.

Quietly running spaced repetition under the scroll.

BrainFeed isn't a feed plus a flashcard app. It's a feed where the quiz, the resurfacing, and the schedule are part of the scroll itself. After a few weeks you've got a knowledge portfolio — not a counter of cards read.

FSRS Topic-level. One question per topic per review. No flooding, no study mode. The harder it was, the sooner it comes back.

Five tabs. One feed. The rest disappear when you don't need them.

Home

The infinite feed. Four archetypes, dynamic theming, swipe right for deeper. Where most of your time lives.

Explore

Wander outside your goals. A today card, plus a topic-tree browse for the curiosities you didn't know you had.

Goals

Tell BrainFeed what you want to learn in a short chat. Pick an intensity. The feed bends — and you can subscribe to goals other people made.

Memory

What's due, in order. One question per topic. Tap in, answer one, get the next interval. Out in under a minute.

Stats

Locked-in, Active, Due. New → Learning → Review → Stable. What you've recalled this week, and which topics actually live in your head.

One short chat. Three intensities. The feed answers forever.

The opener is the same every time: "What's something you've been wanting to genuinely understand — not just look up once, but actually get your head around?" Six turns later, BrainFeed has a structured goal it can weave into your feed.

You don't pick categories. You don't fill in a form. And if someone else has already articulated a goal you'd want — you can subscribe to theirs and inherit the topics.

Light — feed stays broad. Goals are a quiet thread.

Balanced — goal cards mix in alongside discovery.

Focused — feed becomes a path. Max 3 active goals at a time.

We're not trying to beat Coursera. Or Anki. Or Substack.

Not Coursera

No study mode. No required commitment. No syllabus to fall behind on.

Not Anki

No flashcard work. The review is one question in a feed you were already scrolling.

Not Substack

Not a publishing platform. Cards are generated for what you want to retain — not what writers want to publish.

The competitor is TikTok at the exact moment you reach for your phone. Not the apps with the word learn in their name.
