Serious lifehack: Stop doom scrolling. Start boom scrolling. Use X whilst walking incline on the treadmill. Heart rate 130 beats per minute. Scroll past all noise. Find links valuable to friends.

cleo is an ios app that pairs whatever book you're reading on kindle with an llm (o3) โ ask questions, get recaps/summaries, or listen/discuss (think audiobooks but interactive). the llm has context on exactly where you are + the book contents.
best part? no complex setup needed. just link your kindle account and that's it. it just works.
