This AI bot handles the mindless scrolling on the internet for you, allowing you to avoid the mental clutter.
Say goodbye to doomscrolling. Get the news you actually care about, sent directly to your phone.
Noscroll
Spending excessive time on social media and engaging in doomscrolling is detrimental to your mental health. We all have an intuitive sense of this, and numerous studies support it. However, the fear of missing out keeps us fixated on our feeds nonetheless.
Noscroll, a new service powered by AI, aims to address this issue by scanning the internet for you and messaging you only the information that matters. The concept is straightforward: no feeds, no mental clutter, just the essential information.
How does it work?
To start, you can text Noscroll’s AI agent at (415) 718-4828. It will send you a link to connect your X account, allowing it access to your likes, bookmarks, and the accounts you follow.
Next, you inform the bot in simple language about the topics you wish to follow and those you are not interested in. It then gathers information from various sources on the web, including news sites, blogs, Reddit, Hacker News, Substack, research papers, and more. You can even specify particular sources for it to keep an eye on.
The bot will then send you news digests at a frequency that suits you. If you prefer occasional updates, a weekly summary might suffice, while more avid news readers may want multiple updates daily.
Each digest contains links and a brief summary, with the option to read the full article by clicking through. You can also respond to the bot to discuss what you’re reading and adjust your digest preferences.
Who created it and why?
Noscroll was developed by Nadav Hollander, who was previously the CTO at the NFT marketplace OpenSea. He told TechCrunch that his experience with X inspired the idea. “It’s phenomenally entertaining and really informative in ways you just don’t get from regular media,” he noted, but acknowledged that the platform has a “toxic culture.”
He wanted to enjoy the news without the negativity, so he built the tool himself with the help of a friend from the open-source community. Noscroll costs $9.99 per month, but you can try it free for a week. Find it at Noscroll.com.

I just switched to my first major foldable, and I finally understand the appeal.
I had dismissed foldable phones after previous frustrating experiences with flip phones, but a larger screen changed my perspective completely.
For a long time, I've viewed foldable smartphones as a solution seeking a problem. They tend to be pricey, delicate, and often seem to overcompensate for their existence. While I have admired the engineering behind them, I never fully grasped how they would enhance my everyday life. To me, a traditional flat phone made more sense—simpler, more affordable, and sufficient for almost everything.
I was never particularly enthusiastic about foldables.

I used the OnePlus Nord 6, and now most flagship batteries seem underwhelming.
OnePlus' latest mid-range phone reminds me how conservative most flagship models still are.
What stood out to me after using the OnePlus Nord 6 was not just its battery capacity. The entire phone felt oddly normal despite its impressive stats. A 9,000mAh battery seems like something that would belong in a bulky gaming device or a rugged phone with no polish.
So, even though its battery capacity resembles that of a power bank, the Nord 6 is a reasonably conventional-looking mid-range phone offering battery life that makes many premium flagships look timid.
