Local Morning Paper

Habitual live browsing sends repeated requests to the same handful of sites throughout the day, often for content that hasn’t actually changed, generating tracking data along the way and requiring a live connection every time. Existing options don’t quite fit: RSS needs a feed many sites don’t offer, save-for-later tools (Pocket, Wallabag) require a manual save action per item, and full site-archiving tools are built for a different job entirely.

The idea is a lightweight local app: configure your regular sites, schedule an overnight pre-fetch, and open a clean reader in the morning where everything you care about is already there as a local snapshot (no live requests, no refreshing the same pages throughout the day out of habit). Scoped deliberately to public, content-focused sites (news, blogs, documentation) rather than anything requiring login or heavily dynamic, real-time content.

A personal daily-reading tool, built around one specific, consistent set of daily-read sites rather than general-purpose web archiving.
