For people who love the internet but hate what it does to their brain. The internet has infinite content. Your attention is finite. Digital collection. Analog consumption. Turn your digital media into a printable newspaper.
I subscribe to way too many newsletters.
I read maybe 3 of them.
The problem wasn't the content. The content is great.
The problem was reading it on a screen that also has social media, and a thousand notifications fighting for my attention.
Same article on my phone = half-read, forgotten.
Same article on paper = actually finished.
So I made a tool that turns any newsletter into a printable newspaper.
You pick what you want to read, it generates a PDF, you print it (or send it to a reMarkable as I do).
My new ritual:
1. Sunday night, I pick what I want to read for the week. Generate. Done.
2. Monday morning: coffee + paper + silence.
3. No algorithm deciding I should actually be reading about AI drama instead.
It's free. Works with any Substack, Ghost, or RSS feed.

Is there a way to schedule an automated "Weekly Digest" PDF to be emailed to us, or is the curation process strictly manual?
It’s so true that our attention is finite, so having a physical copy to read without notifications popping up would be amazing for focus. I wonder how it chooses which content to include can I pick my favorite newsletters and articles manually, or does it try to curate them for me?
I love the idea of 'analog consumption' because scrolling forever really does drain my brain sometimes. Turning all that digital clutter into a printable newspaper sounds so peaceful. I’m really curious if the layout looks like a real vintage newspaper, or if it’s more of a modern magazine style.
Such a non-trivial product to launch in our eco-friendly era! You know, potentially, it can also help combat the problem of having a million of links saved for later and never revisited again. If you, say, print a couple of articles and keep them at sight - you'll defo read them.
Oh, how fun! I love this so much. Looking forward to print and deliver. 🖤
This looks useful overall. I feel giving users more visible control over tone adjustments could help people like me trust the replies more.
Reading this description made me reflect on my own habits. I save so many links and never return to them. This approach feels slower but in a good way.
Hi, I was just scrolling and stopped here because this felt different. My attention struggles a lot online and this idea made me pause and read properly.
I really relate to this idea because my inbox is full and I barely finish anything. Reading on screens always distracts me even when I want to ficus. This feels like a calmer way to actually enjoy content.
