STOP DOOM SCROLLING. START READING.
We've all been there: opening an app to check "just one thing" and emerging an hour later, wondering where the time went. Doom scrolling is designed to trap you - optimized for engagement, not enrichment.
Electric Pants takes the opposite approach.
YOUR FEED, YOUR RULES
Subscribe to RSS, Atom & Reddit from the sources you actually care about. No algorithms deciding what you see. No infinite scroll designed to keep you trapped. Just the content you chose, presented beautifully.

THE PHILOSOPHY
The name Electric Pants is a deliberate play on doom - as in doom scrolling. We believe your time should flourish, not disappear into an algorithmic void.
Stop scrolling through what others want you to see.
Start reading what matters to you.
Download Electric Pants and let your time bloom.
Beautiful and easy way to keep up with News and Reddit without the infinite scroll doom loop. A nice reader and video viewer is also built in. Honestly it dramatically improved my relationship with media and that feedback loop of rage bait and commentary.
