About Doomersion
Summary
Doomersion turns the time Gen-Z already spends doomscrolling into language learning, replacing structured study apps and classroom drills. The mobile app serves short-form videos in the learner's target language, continuously calibrated to their current level so each scroll is slightly more challenging than the last. It targets everyday consumers who want to pick up a new language without a separate study habit.
Go-to-market
Doomersion reaches consumers directly through the Apple App Store and Google Play, with no sales motion required: users download and start watching immediately.

Doomscroll to learn languages
Doomersion (formerly Doomlingo) lets you learn languages by doomsrolling! Watch TikToks in your target language that are exactly matched to your level, and as you scroll, they get a little bit harder. Gen-Z doomscrolls 2.5-3 hours a day, and if we bake immersion into that by only showing them viral videos in another language that are matched to their level, we can make the optimal language learning method addictive for people. Hence the name, doomersion. The app gained ~15k downloads in the first two weeks, and power users spend ~3+ hours daily on the app. Feel free to download and try it yourself!
