## What is Distill News?

Distill is the anti-doomscroll news app. Every story is read and scored by us before it reaches you. We look for substance, and for how calmly it's written. Clickbait titles and digging for the content are switched out for informative titles and 2 sentence summaries before even clicking the article.

WHAT MAKES DISTILL DIFFERENT

• Honest headlines - every story gets a rewritten, hype-free title and a straight summary of what actually happened
• Substance and Calm scores on every article, so you know what you're walking into
• 14 genres, from World and Politics to Gaming, Food, and Travel - pick exactly which ones make up your feed instead of an algorithm controlling it
• A feed that respects your time: it ends. No infinite scroll engineered to keep you hooked
• New stories arrive on your terms — a quiet pill tells you what's arrived; nothing ever shifts under your thumb
• Your genres and reading state sync across devices

Distill reads everything so you can read what matters. A few minutes, a few times a day, informed, not exhausted.
