Question 1

What is Vibe Scroll?

Accepted Answer

Vibe Scroll is a native desktop app that puts TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social feeds in small, floating windows you can control with your keyboard. Perfect for having entertainment while you work.

Question 2

Why not just use the browser?

Accepted Answer

Browser tabs get buried, pause when unfocused, and can't be controlled with media keys. Vibe Scroll stays on top, keeps playing, and responds to your keyboard's play/pause/skip buttons.

Question 3

Is this an official app from TikTok/Instagram/etc?

Accepted Answer

No. Vibe Scroll is an independent app that displays the mobile web versions of these platforms. We're not affiliated with Meta, ByteDance, Google, or any social media company.

Question 4

Which platforms are supported?

Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Twitter/X, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Facebook. All 7 platforms included.

Question 5

Can I use multiple accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Create unlimited profiles per platform. Each profile has its own login, cookies, and algorithm. Switch between them instantly.

Question 6

Can I adjust window transparency?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Window Opacity control lets you adjust transparency from 20% to 100%. Use ⌘+⌥+O to decrease opacity by 10%, ⌘+⌥+P to increase by 10%. Perfect for seeing documents or code behind your window while browsing.

Question 7

How do keyboard video controls work?

Accepted Answer

Use your keyboard's ⏮ ⏯ ⏭ keys (usually F7, F8, F9 or dedicated buttons) to play, pause, and skip videos. Vibe Scroll responds to these system-wide, so you can control videos without switching windows.
