Distill

About

Distill turns the articles piling up in your Chrome Reading List into one
synthesis — sized to the time you actually have.

Most reading tools assume you have five free minutes. Distill doesn't. Pick your
window and it collapses everything you saved into a single brief that fits:

• Headline (~10 seconds) — one line for the whole list.
• Brief (~2 minutes) — the gist, in bullets.
• Read (~10 minutes) — a structured long-form take, with sources.
• Digest (~30 minutes) — the full map of your week: a concept atlas that clusters
  what you saved, cross-links the ideas, and reweights it all for what matters to you.

How it works
• Distill reads the URLs and titles already in your Chrome Reading List.
• It extracts each article's text on your device — articles, plus PDFs, Word docs,
  EPUBs, Google Docs, Markdown, and more.
• It sends that text to Distill's hosted backend, which generates the synthesis and
  streams it back. No API key to manage.

Built to stay out of your way
• Free, with daily caps. No account, no sign-in, no payment.
• No ads, no trackers, no analytics vendors. We don't sell or share your data.
• A short profile (role, stage, interests) — entirely optional — reweights each
  synthesis toward what you care about. It stays on your device except when it's
  included in a generation request.
• Light and dark themes.

Distill is part of the productivities.fyi suite. If it's useful, you can support
its development on Ko-fi — entirely optional, nothing is gated behind it.

Requires Chrome 120 or later (for the Reading List API).
