Against brain rot

One page
a night.

IT’S TIME TO ANTIROT.

Write it, post it, then read strangers’ pages for one hour. Then the app closes.

Feeds are built to never end.

Endless scroll, short video and constant notifications keep us looking, not thinking. ANTIROT turns every habit the rot built into its opposite.

Every app on your phone is measured by how long it keeps you. The feed has no last page, the next video starts before you decide, and the phone buzzes to call you back. ANTIROT is built the other way round.

You get one page a night. You answer one question in words, and add a photo if you want. Posting opens one hour of strangers’ pages, turned like paper. Then the app closes.

The machine that does one thing.

By day it opens for ten minutes an hour. Nobody has a name, only a number, and there are no public likes or followers, so there is nothing to count.

Write it on a typewriter

Read

Posting opens one hour of strangers’ pages, turned like paper. One short comment each.

Sleep

The hour ends and the app closes. By day it opens for only 10 minutes an hour.

For subscribers · The monthly album

Your month, printed and posted.

Every photo you post in a month is printed as a stamp, set in a leather album with the words you wrote under it, and posted to your door.
