BrainFeed is a personalized learning feed designed to redirect your scrolling habit and build compounding knowledge. Set a custom goal like "how to get my first 100 users," or drop in a link to that long article or YouTube video you’ve been avoiding. BrainFeed transforms them into a bite-sized, scrollable feed of cards that you can easily get through while waiting in a line. Unlike traditional feeds, BrainFeed uses spaced repetition to ensure you actually retain what you read.

Hi Product Hunt! Arnav here, building BrainFeed with my co-founder Aasrith.
I try pretty hard not to lose time to feeds, but they usually win anyway. When I have a few free minutes, I inevitably end up on YouTube Shorts, and it feels terrible when those minutes turn into hours. Meanwhile, the things I actually want to learn just sit in a "saved" folder, never to be opened.
Quitting these apps sounds simple, but it doesn't kill the time and urge to scroll. Aasrith left Instagram and just ended up on TikTok. We realized scrolling isn’t the problem; what you scroll is. So, we built something worth scrolling instead.
You tell BrainFeed what you want to learn, or drop in an article or video you’ve been avoiding, and it converts them into short cards you can finish while standing in a queue. You can also see what other users are learning and join their goals. Instead of scrolling and forgetting, it uses spaced repetition to help you actually retain the insights.
We are officially live on the App Store! The best way to try it right now: create/join 3 goals, paste in one link you’ve been meaning to read but haven't got to, and see what it turns into.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and whether BrainFeed earns a spot on your home screen.
@alohiya95 Huge congrats on launching🙌qq what’s the maximum number of links or goals a user can track at one time on the free tier?
BrainFeed
@alohiya95 @vikramp7470 Thank you :) You can have up to 15 active goals, and share up to 15 links.
the reframe here is smart, scrolling isn't really the addiction, it's just the easiest habit to fall into when you're bored. question on the spaced repetition part - if I drop in a one-off article I've been avoiding, does it actually resurface cards from that specific piece a few days later, or is spaced repetition only tied to the ongoing goals? curious how it decides what's worth bringing back
BrainFeed
@omri_ben_shoham1 You decide whats worth bringing back. You simply double on the card to enroll it for spaced repetition and brainfeed takes care of it through a gamified experience (we call it the star field). The article you drop would be split into topics, so you would get to choose which topics are worth it.
Dropped in a 30-minute YouTube video I'd been putting off and it actually broke it into manageable cards I could get through on my coffee break. The spaced repetition part is what sold me, I remember more after one session than I do from skimming a dozen articles.
BrainFeed
@emirhan26363 Thats amazing! The star field will take care of the spaced repetition. You could also browse through the goals we have and see if you find something interesting or create one yourself
I just keep doomscrolling on Instagram. Does BrainFeed have topics such as finance, investing, and psychology ? Could it build my feed around those ?
BrainFeed
@reda_roqai_chaoui It does! All three are in there as categories, you just select them as your interests and the feed will be around it. The 2 other ways to have more control over your feed is by
Creating goals: like “I want to understand futures and options"
Sharing content from YouTube, articles, etc into BrainFeed
You can do one or all of these.
Let me know if it helps with the doomscrolling!
You had me the second I realized the concept. So, when is it available on Android and or Windows?
BrainFeed
@paul_maetschke Thats great! We're running the closed testing for android right now, you could join it through this link: https://groups.google.com/g/brainfeed-android

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Aasrith.
One of the things we cared a lot about while building BrainFeed was making AI generated learning feel transparent.
Our cards include source links, so you can see where the information comes from and explore the original material whenever you want.
We want to push AI as far as it goes in personalising learning, but it shouldn't be a black box.
Would love to hear what you think!
