Ustaad उस्ताद

Coming soon

Scroll less. Learn more.

Mindful scrolling, short lessons, a stopping point. The feed you open when you'd otherwise open another reel.

We'll email you when the app releases.

The idea

You already have a few idle minutes. Ustaad just makes those minutes count - then lets you stop.

How it works

Frictionless like a feed.
Useful like a teacher.

  1. 01

    Mindful scroll

    When the idle minutes arrive, switch to a feed that teaches. No shame. Just a better next few minutes.

  2. 02

    Swipe a lesson

    Thirty seconds to a few minutes. One idea. Natural narration. No filler.

  3. 03

    Optional recall

    After about ten lessons, a few questions on what you just saw. Skip anytime. No punishment.

  4. 04

    A stopping point

    Set five, ten, or fifteen minutes. When today's session is done, the app lets you be done.

Launch library

Small on purpose.

Fifty excellent lessons beat a thousand mediocre ones. Human, specific, reviewed.

  1. 01 Psychology Procrastination, bias, motivation, memory
  2. 02 Communication Listening, better questions, saying no
  3. 03 AI & Technology What AI is, prompting, hallucinations
  4. 04 Money basics Compound interest, inflation, emergency funds
  5. 05 Productivity Deep work, two-minute rule, time blocking
  6. 06 General knowledge How planes fly, GPS, why the sky is blue
  7. 07 Stories Epics, inventions, failures worth studying

Coming soon

Be first in line.

Ustaad is mindful scrolling: short lessons instead of another reel, then a stopping point. Not a clone of school, and not another infinite dopamine machine.
