The feed never ends.This one does.
End/Feed places one calm stopping cue inside Reddit and YouTube—at the limit a person chose before the feed began.
- Local first
- Time + distance stay on device
- Always optional
- Leave, continue, or pause
- Canonical
- Exact text from YouVersion

The hand keeps moving.
Not because this next post matters. Because there is always a next post.
Attention has no natural stopping cue.
So the person supplies one.
The end you chose
You have reached twenty minutes.
Nothing is locked. The next movement belongs to you.
01 / THE PREMISE
Infinite scroll removed the ending.
Most digital wellbeing tools ask for discipline after attention is already gone. End/Feed moves the decision earlier: choose five to 120 minutes once, then meet that choice inside the feed.
It does not block the next post.It makes continuing a choice again.
02 / THE BOUNDARY
The product watches the clock. Never the feed.
Stays in the browser
- Exact active seconds
- Exact scroll distance
- Threshold preference
- Every post, video, and comment
- URLs and browsing history
May reach the providers
- One self-selected state
- One coarse time bucket
- One coarse distance bucket
- Nothing else
03 / THE HANDOFF
AI reflects. It does not author Scripture.
- 1
A person names the moment
Five fixed states replace surveillance and free-text profiling.
- 2
YouVersion supplies the text
The server retrieves exact canonical passage text from a versioned, allowlisted reference.
- 3
Gloo grounds one reflection
A strict schema and word limits keep the response inside the retrieved passage.
- 4
Failure stays visible
If either provider fails, no canned verse is presented as live.
04 / THE PROOF
Built to be challenged.
The repository includes the working extension, live route, deterministic evaluation notebook, and browser acceptance evidence.

05 / INSTALL
Choose an ending before the feed chooses the evening.
The open-source proof runs as a Manifest V3 Chrome extension on Reddit and YouTube. Film mode lowers the threshold to ten seconds for honest, reproducible judging.
