Stop doomscrolling

Read the news. Skip the spiral.

Doomscrolling isn't only a willpower problem. Many feeds are designed to make stopping difficult. You don't have to quit the news to stop; you have to change who controls the feed.

Short answer Change who controls the feed.

No ranking algorithm, muted trigger topics, and a feed that ends — same news, without the spiral.

Why it happens

It's the design, not your discipline.

Algorithmic feeds are built to find what spikes you and serve more of it. You don't out-willpower a system tuned on your reactions — you switch to a feed that doesn't have one.

No algorithm

Nothing learns your outrage.

A feed that ends

When the new stories end, so does the feed.

Mute the spikes

Trigger topics go quiet.

What to change

Three changes that actually work

None of them involve reading less news.

Mute what drains you

The feud, the trial, the personality you keep hate-reading — mute the word and every headline about it goes quiet.

Cut the manufactured urgency

Viral-bait headlines and engagement filler are a junk format. Muuted's junk filters catch them automatically.

A calm feed

What a calm feed feels like

Your sources, in the order they published. Nothing resurfaced to re-provoke you, nothing “you might also like.” You read what's new, and then you're done.

Still informed

Same publications, direct from the source.

Still in control

Every mute is reversible in one tap.

Still honest

Muted stories are reviewable, never silently deleted.

Questions

FAQ

Does quitting the news stop doomscrolling?

It stops the scrolling and the being informed. The sustainable fix is changing the mechanics: chosen sources, muted trigger topics, no recommendation engine feeding you the next outrage.

How does Muuted help?

Muuted is an RSS reader with no ranking algorithm — your chosen sources in published order, with muted words and junk filters removing what you already know drains you. The feed ends when the new stories end.

What should I mute first?

The topics you reread without gaining anything — a feud, a trial, a personality. Mute the word, and every headline mentioning it goes quiet until you bring it back.

Your feed. Your rules.

Your feed. Your rules. Your evening back.
