Shredding that doesn’t
fight your brain.
Quiet, batch-fed, and it remembers so you don’t have to.
Load the whole stack instead of feeding one page at a time. It stays quiet and predictable, privately saves every page on the device — never the cloud — then shreds the original. No jam-dread, no “did I shred the right thing?”

Paper in. Safely saved. Then shredded.
Feed in your papers — it scans and safely backs them up, then shreds. Nothing is ever lost.
Mount. Scan. Verify. Shred.
Install in Minutes
Place the Scanner Shredder attachment on top of your existing office shredder. No tools required — installs in under 10 minutes on any standard top-feed model.
Duplex Capture
Feed documents as normal. Both sides are automatically scanned at 300+ DPI. The system detects each page and initiates scanning without any buttons or intervention.
Hold & Confirm
The hold-and-verify gate keeps the document until the scan is confirmed legible and safely synced to your cloud storage. Nothing is shredded until it is archived.
Secure Destruction
Once verified, the gate releases the document into the shredder. A timestamped audit log records the event — who, what, when — for compliance reporting.
The Problems We Hear
A growing pile of paper on the home-office desk — tax records, old contracts, letters with personal info. Every time I try to shred something I freeze: did I scan this? I end up putting it back in the pile. The pile never shrinks.
100+ sensitive client documents a month from a home office. The shredder breaks every few months — and there's zero way to prove what I destroyed if a client ever asks.
An office manager spends ~3 hours a week at the shredder. Documents jam constantly, and there's no proof of destruction for compliance audits.
A shredder built for a brain, not an office.
DISSID’s founder is AuDHD — autistic and ADHD — and built this because every shredder on the market felt hostile to use: the noise, the one-sheet-at-a-time tedium, the nagging “did I shred the right file?” Every design choice traces to a friction he hits himself. That founder–market fit is the wedge, not a bio line.
For some of us, destroying something we haven’t backed up isn’t just inconvenient — it’s a full stop. You hold a document over the shredder for twenty minutes. Not because you forgot to scan it. Because you can’t be certain you did.
Most people scan, then shred — two devices, two steps, two moments to fail. We didn’t need a reminder app. We needed a machine that made it physically impossible to destroy something unsaved. Not a workflow. A gate.
The same gate that removes the anxiety for individuals also generates a verifiable destruction record for teams with compliance requirements. One mechanism. Two markets.
Why this matters
- 40M+adults in North America with attention or executive-function differences (~15% of adults) — the primary market no shredder was built for
- ~$27Bassistive technology market, growing ~7% annually
- 4.5M tonsof paper shredded annually in North America — none of it digitized first
- ~$3Bglobal document-shredding market — zero scan-before-shred products
Shred Away Your Anxiety!
The paper pile you keep avoiding stops being a source of dread. Remote workers, home-office users, anyone with a stack of sensitive paper that keeps growing — every feature exists to replace the nagging doubt with a single, calm pass through the machine.
Never Destroy the Wrong Record
Every page is captured and stored before it is ever cut — so a document you still needed is never gone for good. The pile on your desk stops being a source of dread when you know anything you feed through will be kept first.
A Hardware Gate, Not a Promise
A mechanical hold-and-verify gate physically blocks the shredder blade until the scan is confirmed stored. Not a setting you have to remember to enable — the machine enforces it on every page, every time.
Everything Saved, Forever Findable
Every scan lands in your cloud — organized, searchable, retrievable in seconds. No more wondering if you kept a copy somewhere. A $19/mo founding rate keeps the archive running; public price $29/mo after launch.
Built sensory-first, not office-first.
DISSID was designed with neurodivergent people from the first prototype. Quiet, batch-fed, predictable — and it keeps a verified record of exactly what it destroyed, so you never have to wonder.
Quiet enough to forget it's on.
No sudden grinding, no jam-shriek. For anyone who flinches at a shredder's noise, DISSID stays low and predictable. The sound you're bracing for never comes.
Load it. Walk away.
Batch-feed a stack instead of feeding sheets one at a time. It logs what it destroyed, so remembering isn't your job anymore.
Same every time. Proof every time.
It behaves identically on every run — no jam-anxiety, no second-guessing. The per-document record answers “did the right thing get shredded?” before you can spiral on it.
Designed with us, not retrofitted for us.
Built with neurodivergent users from the first prototype. The accommodation isn't a setting you switch on — it's how the machine works.
The same hold-and-verify mechanism that removes “did I shred the right thing?” anxiety also produces an immutable, auditor-ready record of every destruction event — so an ND-inclusive workplace gets a real accommodation staff will actually use and a destruction trail that stands up to:
One calm pass.
It sits on the shredder you already own. Feed the pile — it scans and privately saves every page, then shreds. Nothing leaves the device; nothing is lost.

Built by someone who needed it too
Every project below started as a personal friction point — the same design constraint driving the Scanner Shredder.
Wayfinder
Private betaXR that guides you to your lost keys, wallet, meds. An attention prosthesis for when your brain doesn't encode where you put things.
WordNudge
Private betaA wearable that taps your wrist when you've over-talked. Self-awareness, on tap. Built for ADHD.
GymNote AI
Private betaZero-interaction workout logging; the friction that makes ND folks quit the gym, removed.
…alongside computer-vision, compliance-automation, and AI tooling work. Same brain. Same obsession with removing friction.
