Replace doomscrolling with Microlearning.

What do you most want to get better at?

This picks your topics and the first books we put in front of you.

Good. That’s a real one.

We’ll build the whole plan around helping you what you picked — the topics, the books, and what comes back to you.

Any of these you’ve been meaning to read?

Picked for the goal you just chose. Keep the ones you recognise — they go in your library on day one.

That shelf is the point.

Not to make you finish them — to take the one argument each is actually making and hand it to you in five minutes, then bring it back until you have it.

What made you look for this now?

Nothing is wrong with “no reason”. It changes the tone we use, not the plan.

How much non-fiction do you get through now?

There is no wrong answer. It sets how much we start you with, so day one is not a wall.

Everyone starts somewhere.

Most people who sign up here have not finished a book in a year. That is the normal case, not the sad one — and it is the case this was designed around.

What actually gets in the way?

Be honest — the next screen is about this answer, and only this answer.

Forgetting is the default

Do you ever feel behind in a conversation, because everyone else seems to have read the thing?

Almost everybody says yes. It is the reason most people give for wanting to read more.

That feeling is not about intelligence.

It is about recall. The people who sound well-read are not reading more than you — they can reach the thing they read. That is a different skill, and it is trainable.

Where do your ideas come from at the moment?

No judgement — it tells us what your five minutes is competing with.

Your memory was never the problem

People who read every day and people who have not opened a book in a year forget at the same rate. The difference was never discipline — it is whether anything ever brings the idea back.

That is the whole of what we built.

What actually holds your attention?

Pick as many as are true. This decides whether we open on text or on audio.

Halfway. This part is quick.

Three short ones about how you take things in, and then the plan. Nothing here is a test and nothing is permanent — all of it is editable in the app.

When you learn something new, which comes first?

It changes whether a card opens with the claim or with the evidence.

And where do ideas usually land for you?

Some people think by talking it out. Some need it quiet first. Both are fine.

That’s the shape of your plan.

Four questions left, and they are the practical ones: how long you have, when you would open it, and what to call you.

Read it, or hear it?

Both are included either way. This only decides what we open on.

What would make this worth it?

Pick as many as are true. These become what your progress is measured against.

Noted. That is what we will measure.

Your profile counts ideas recalled, not books finished. It is the only number that goes up when something has actually stuck.

How long have you got, on a normal day?

Pick the one you would still do on a bad week. That is the one that survives.

When would you actually open it?

One reminder goes there, and nowhere else. We are not going to nag you.

Last one — what should we call you?

It goes at the top of your day. It is not used for anything else.

Five minutes a day. Can you do that?

Not thirty. Not a chapter. Five minutes, on the days you would otherwise have spent them scrolling.
