Archive Dive

A Refreshing Way To Interact With The Internet Archive

Doomscroll the Archive.

Archive Dive is a unique streaming experience that brings the vast and eccentric collection of the Internet Archive to your mobile device in a modern, vertical feed.

Privacy Focused: No tracking, no algorithms harvesting your data.

3 WAYS TO DIVE
Forget the algorithm updates and trending dances. Archive Dive connects you directly with a universe of media across three dedicated modes:

📺 Video Feed: Swipe through a bottomless pit of content. Watch classic childhood cartoons, forgotten TV shows, movies, indie films, bizarre ephemeral footage & more.
🎵 Audio Feed: Discover underground mixtapes, live concerts, old-time radio broadcasts, and vintage vinyls with a built-in audio player that keeps playing in the background.
📖 Documents Feed: Browse thousands of graphic novels, manga, instruction manuals, government documents, news articles and out-of-print books. Launch the immersive full-screen reader to view original scans page-by-page.

🚀 KEY FEATURES

🔍 Discovery & Personalization
• Build Your Algorithm: Choose from over 100 specific tags across Video, Audio, and Text directories (like Manga, Noir, Documentary, Hyperpop, Experimental, or Sci-Fi).
• "Variety Sort" Engine: Our custom randomizer mixes up your feed based on your tag choices, delivering a chaotic but tailored mix of media so you never get stuck browsing the same type of content twice.
• Smart Filters: Looking for something specific? Filter your current feed by Decade (1800s - 2020s) and Language.
• Turn On Weighted Tags: Looking to take full control of the content you see and make it less random? You can adjust each tag to change how often it's shown in the feed.
• Customize Your UI: You can either keep the Default color scheme or completely customize the colors of the UI to your liking.
🏛️ The Museum
• Save Your Favorites: Built-in bookmarking lets you save the weirdest and best media you surface.
• Create Exhibits: Organize your saved videos, albums, and books into custom folders, crafting your own personal curation.

🎥 Modern Player, Classic Content
• Vertical & Horizontal Swipe Navigation: The familiar, intuitive interface you already know, applied to the internet's largest digital library. Vertical scroll for new content, horizontal scroll to move through multi-part playlists and albums.
• Other Controls: Double tap sides to rewind (-10s) or fast forward (+30s) or use the video scrubbing bar.
• Source Intel & Reviews: Found something fascinating? Read the original Internet Archive reviews directly in-app, or tap the "Web" button to open the original source page for deeper research.
