The news, distilled. Your time, respected.
Most news apps are built to keep you scrolling. Distill is built to let you stop. It reads the day's news, keeps what actually matters, and hands it back to you in a calm, clutter-free feed — so you can stay informed in minutes and get on with your life.
Every story that reaches your feed has to earn its place. Distill evaluates each article on three things:
• Real substance — Does it actually say anything? Thin, padded, "nothing" stories get filtered out so you never click into an empty article.
• An honest headline and summary — No clickbait, no curiosity-gap tricks. You get a straight headline and a clear summary up front, so you know what a story is about before you tap.
• A calm signal — Sensationalized, rage-bait, doom-scroll content is filtered down, so your feed stays useful instead of upsetting.
Stories that don't clear the bar simply don't show up. What's left is the news worth your time.
WHAT YOU GET
• A clean, distraction-free reading feed — no autoplay, no infinite outrage, no dark patterns.
• Honest headlines and summaries on every story, with at-a-glance substance and calm signals.
• Recent and New views — catch up chronologically, or see only what's new since your last visit.
• Topic filters — follow the subjects you care about, from world and business to science, space, tech, health, and more.
• Tap through to read the original article at the source. Distill points you to great journalism; it doesn't replace it.
• Sign in with email or Google to keep your interests and reading in sync — or just continue as a guest.
WHO IT'S FOR
If you want to be informed but you're tired of feeling worse after checking the news, Distill is for you. It's for people who'd rather read ten things that matter than scroll past a hundred that don't.
OUR PROMISE
No clickbait. No doom-scroll. No wasted clicks. Just the news, distilled — and your time, respected.
