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.
