The feed thatmakes you sharper.
Capture any video or article, and Distil Reads turns it into a card you read in the minutes you actually have. Same scroll. Same pull. You just end up smarter instead of emptier.
Free to start · Bring your own API key
You already scroll for hours. We just point that pull at something worth keeping.
The swipe, the “just one more,” the ease of falling in — we rebuilt that exact feeling. The only thing that changes is what you walk away with: instead of an hour gone and nothing learned, every card leaves you a little sharper.
Save from everywhere you already read.
A YouTube talk, a long essay, a doc, a random tab — capture it in one click from the browser extension, and it lands in your feed as a card, distilled and ready for the right moment.
The right read finds you in the right moment.
When you capture something, tag it to the situation you'll be in when you're ready for it — Commute, Deep Work, Dinner. Open that Occasion later and your feed is already curated for exactly where you are. No calendar, no guilt-pile of open tabs.
Fit any read into the time you've got.
Pick 5, 15, or 30 minutes and Distil Reads writes the read to fill it — not a padded article, an honest distillation sized to your time. A focus timer counts you down, so a 40-minute talk becomes a clean 15-minute read that fits your day.
The main points, before you read a word.
Every card leads with an AI summary and the key points. Then, as you read the full distillation, highlight what matters in meaningful colors — Main point, New insight, Contradiction — and pin a note in the margin, so the ideas become yours, not just seen.
A feed that ends in understanding, not a like.
It scrolls like the apps you already know — but there's no like button and no one to perform for. When you finish a card you tell it the truth: Archive it as understood, Not quite to bring it back later, or Save it to keep. The feed answers to your comprehension, not your dopamine.
Three steps, then it's a habit.
