Mindscrole is a personal knowledge intake and prioritization system designed for people who consume high-signal information through short-form content.
It helps transform scattered Instagram Reels, videos, and links into structured, searchable, and prioritized knowledge—without scraping platforms or violating user trust.
Most valuable information today is discovered through:
- Instagram Reels
- Short videos
- Social media snippets
- Event announcements
- Hiring posts and opportunities
But this information is:
- Ephemeral
- Unstructured
- Hard to track
- Easy to forget
- Buried inside feeds and timelines
Mindscrole exists to capture intent at the moment of discovery and turn it into something usable.
Mindscrole does not scrape platforms or automate user accounts.
Instead, it is built around one principle:
Only process content when the user explicitly chooses to.
The user decides what is worth saving.
Mindscrole is composed of four core layers:
- Native Android application
- Integrated with the system Share Sheet
- Appears when a user shares content from Instagram or other apps
- Receives only what the user explicitly shares (usually a public URL)
- Acts as a trusted bridge between social apps and the backend
The Android app is intentionally minimal:
- No scraping
- No background automation
- No access to private data
- Pure user-initiated action
- Runs on a dedicated Ubuntu machine
- Responsible for:
- Media handling
- Audio extraction
- File management
- Transcription
- Metadata storage
Core responsibilities:
- Downloading shared media when applicable
- Converting media formats
- Running speech-to-text on short-form content
- Persisting transcripts and references
This layer is built for stability, reproducibility, and control.
On top of raw transcripts, Mindscrole applies intelligence:
- Language understanding
- Content categorization
- Priority assignment
- Signal vs noise separation
Examples:
- Job opportunity vs general advice
- Event with a date vs timeless content
- Hiring announcement vs opinion
- High urgency vs long-term reference
This layer is designed to evolve over time into a personal decision support system.
A web frontend provides:
- Centralized access to everything processed by Mindscrole
- Clean views of transcripts and extracted information
- Categorized timelines (events, hiring, learning, ideas)
- One place to review what the user chose to save
The frontend is the single source of truth for the user.
- Not a scraper
- Not an Instagram automation tool
- Not a growth hack
- Not a background crawler
Mindscrole only works when the user says “this matters.”
- Respects platform boundaries
- Avoids account bans and instability
- Aligns with real user behavior (mobile-first)
- Scales without violating trust
- Keeps the system legally and technically sane
- Android Share Sheet MVP: Working
- Backend transcription pipeline: Stable
- Intelligence layer: In progress
- Frontend: Planned
Mindscrole aims to become:
- A personal intake system for high-signal information
- A memory extension for short-form knowledge
- A prioritization engine for opportunities and ideas
- A calm alternative to saving chaos
You don’t scroll less.
You lose less.
Mindscrole is built deliberately, slowly, and with intent.
