Short-form scrolling is what we do by default when we have a couple of spare minutes. This habit quietly deteriorates your brain.
You have five minutes.
On the train. Waiting for coffee. Before bed.
Instead of another 47 pieces of content you won't remember, open one idea worth keeping.
What you get
No feeds designed to trap you, no autoplay. Just the parts that make five minutes worth spending.
A fresh, curated mix of short chapters across your favorite domains every day, so the habit builds itself.
Pick a domain and dive as deep as you want, at your own pace, whenever curiosity strikes.
Bookmark chapters and come back anytime, so nothing good gets lost in an endless scroll.
A simple, honest way to watch the habit take hold, one bite-sized chapter at a time.

Why SoRead exists
I personally built this tool for myself, to get rid of hours of meaningless scrolling which was frying my brain :)
I wanted to replace scrolling on bed time but it was difficult to know where to start to find good content to read, content that might intrigue me and make me want to go deeper on it.
One day I said, what if I make an app that provides me intriguing knowledge on my favorite domains with zero effort. Then SoRead came out.
