distill captures your perspective — not highlights, not summaries — after every book, podcast, or article. then surfaces it back when your thinking has had time to shift.

how it works

quick vs deep capture

quick distill for passing thoughts (unlimited). deep sessions for rigorous 5,000-word synthesis (limited to 3/month for free users).

write what stuck

when you're done, write what you actually think. no prompts, no AI — just you.

your library grows

every reflection you write lives here. search it, revisit it, watch it grow.

old thoughts come back

weeks later, a past reflection resurfaces. you'll be surprised how your thinking changed.

questions you might have

i already have a note-taking app. how is this different?+
note-taking apps store information. distill is a thinking tool — it makes you process what you consumed and resurfaces your past thinking so it compounds over time.
what if i don't have time?+
each reflection takes about 2 minutes. if you had time to read the book or watch the video, you have time to write one paragraph about it.
is my data private?+
yes. your reflections are private by default. you own your data and can export it as markdown or json at any time.
do i need to pay?+
no. you get 3 deep sessions per month for free. quick reflections are always unlimited.
