A night with Scout
You sleep. A raccoon in a lime hoodie does the reading.
1. Overnight
Scout reads the internet
News sites, product launches, research and GitHub: more than 50 sources, every night.
2. Before dawn
Bins the noise
Duplicates, hype, spam and sketchy downloads get thrown out. The good stuff gets a few clear lines and a credit.
3. By morning
Deals your deck
Fifteen cards from what you picked and what you’ve liked lately. Tools first, then the news.
4. Over coffee
You swipe. Done.
Like, save, skip. About 90 seconds and you know what matters. Streak +1.
Small app. A lot of care.
For developers, and for anyone who just likes tech and AI.
It learns as you swipe
Your deck starts from the interests you pick. Every like, save and open teaches Scout a little more, and skips steer it away. For You, News and the topics around your picks follow along, and old interests fade, so it keeps up as you change.

Fair questions
- Is SwipeByte free?
- Yes. Some decks include one clearly labelled sponsored card; that’s how it stays free. There’s no paid tier that gives you more cards: 15 is the point.
- Who is it for?
- Developers who want the tools and repos worth knowing, and anyone who likes tech and AI and wants the news without the endless scroll.
- Where do the cards come from?
- More than 50 public sources: tech news sites, product launches, research and open-source projects. Each card is summarised with AI, filtered for spam and unsafe downloads, and always links to and credits the original.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Start as a guest straight away. Sign in with Google whenever you like to keep your streak, Vault and interests across phones.
- Is there an iPhone app?
- It’s on the way. Android comes first.
- What happens to my data?
- Only what the app needs to work and improve, and it’s never sold. No ad trackers. The privacy policy has the details, and you can delete your account in the app. Read the privacy policy.
