Scout replaces infinite algorithmic feeds with goal-driven Trails you curate yourself. Pick a direction: get better at cooking, understand AI, start a fitness routine. Then scout the best videos, articles, and podcasts to get you there. When you can't decide, spin The Compass.
Free early access for waitlist members. No spam, ever.
There are things you genuinely want to watch, read, and learn. But every time you open an app, the feed hijacks your intentions.
There's no "done." No closure. Just one more video, one more scroll, forever. You close the app feeling worse than when you opened it.
You saved that cooking tutorial weeks ago. Instead, you're 40 minutes into videos you never asked for, picked by a system designed for engagement, not your wellbeing.
2,347 videos in Watch Later. 63 open tabs. You're overwhelmed by choices, so you default to scrolling the feed. The things you actually care about keep waiting.
Every great adventure starts with a direction. Here's yours.
"Get better at cooking." "Understand AI." "Start a fitness routine." Every Trail starts with a direction worth heading.
See something good? Tap Share → tap Scout it. Two taps and it's on your Trail. Works from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Safari. Anywhere you find things worth keeping.
Open Scout instead of social media. Pick from your finite list, or spin The Compass and let it choose for you. No decision fatigue. No spiraling.
Finish your Trail and hit The Summit: confetti, your earned Badge, a shareable card, and the satisfaction that doomscrolling never gives you.
Every Badge moves you toward your next Scout Rank: Tenderfoot → Explorer → Pathfinder → Ranger → Trailmaster. Your next adventure is already calling.
Unlike bookmarks you forget and feeds you can't escape, your Trail is a living path designed to be completed.
Can't decide what to watch? Spin The Compass. It picks one random find from your Trail. No more decision fatigue.
15-minute timed sessions to browse and scout new finds. Go in, collect, get out. No spiraling.
Long-term storage for finds that aren't on active Trails. Save things for your kids, for next year, for "someday." Basecamp is forever.
Saved something 90 days ago and never watched it? It gently fades. Your Trail stays fresh, not a graveyard of good intentions.
"What stuck with you?" Quick prompts after exploring that turn passive watching into something you actually remember.
Finish a Trail and reach The Summit. A celebration screen with confetti, your earned Badge, and a shareable card. The moment that makes you want to start your next one.
Every Badge you earn moves you up: Tenderfoot → Explorer → Pathfinder → Ranger → Trailmaster. Your cumulative journey has a progression arc, not just individual wins.
See something good in any app? Tap Share → tap Scout it. Two taps and it lands on your Trail. Lower friction than scrolling past it and hoping you'll remember later.
We're not here to block your screen. We're here to give you a better way to explore.
Monthly Expeditions with shared Trails, shared progress, and shared accountability. This is what turns an app into a movement.
"The Learning Sprint," "30 Days of Mindful Media," "Hobby Kickstart." New Expedition every month.
See how many explorers are participating, how many reached the summit, and where you are on the Trail. No rankings. Just momentum.
Finish a Trail and earn a Badge you can share: your goal, what you explored, and the time it took. Every Badge is an invitation.
See what your friends are scouting. Not a feed, just a quiet list of their latest finds. Social discovery without the social pressure.
Your active Trail on your Lock Screen or Home Screen. See your progress, spin The Compass, or jump straight in. All without opening the app.
Explore 10 educational finds in 14 days. Pick your own topic. Just make it something you've always wanted to learn.
"You have 1,440 minutes today. Roughly 1,411 of them will be spent the same as any other day. The other 29 could change everything."
Inspired by Designing Your Life by Dave Evans & Bill Burnett
Most of us spend 98% of our time in the transactional world: routines, obligations, autopilot. The other 2% is where growth lives. Scout exists to make sure those 29 minutes aren't lost to an algorithm.
No recommendations. No algorithm. No engagement tricks. You decide what goes on your Trail.
We never see, track, or sell what you scout. Your Trails are encrypted and yours alone.
The best app is one you eventually close. We optimize for your satisfaction, not our engagement metrics.
You have 1,440 minutes today. 1,411 are spoken for. Scout guards the 29 that could actually change your life.
No ads. No data selling. We charge for features so we never need to sell your attention.
Free tier is free forever. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime.
You have 1,440 minutes today. Only about 29 of them are truly yours. The ones not claimed by routine, obligation, and autopilot. Now ask yourself how many of those 29 you're losing to mindless scrolling. Not watching things you chose, but things an algorithm chose for you. Even if Scout helps you reclaim just 30 minutes a day, that's 15 hours a month you get back. Time to cook, to learn, to build, to rest, to become more of the person you actually want to be.
That's what you're paying for. Not an app. Sovereignty over your own attention. Every free platform profits by keeping you scrolling longer. Their product is your time. Scout is built by Veritasity Labs, a company founded on one principle: veritas, meaning truth. The truth is that your attention is the most finite resource you have, and you're giving it away for free to algorithms designed to exploit it.
$3.99 a month funds a tool that works for you instead of on you. No ads, no data selling, no engagement tricks. We charge you so we never have to sell you.
Dr. Nicole LePera writes in How to Do the Work that healing begins when you start making choices your future self will thank you for. Scout is one of those choices. Your future self. The one who actually finished that cooking trail, who finally understood AI, who built the habit instead of just saving the bookmark. that person will look back and be glad you made the switch. That's the deal.
Be first on the trail when Scout launches. Free early access, no credit card required, and a free tier that's free forever.
