What was I on yesterday?

Write #notes as things happen. Log progress. Distil your day.
A Mac desktop app for knowledge workers. Log what you do with contextual tags and distil it into what you need to know.
08:55 on a random saturday

09:01
I have my #ticket, and @bob want something. And I should follow up on the new #project work.
09:03
Was there anything else?
09:04
I'll check the log.
10:00 what it is
10:02
The day is a timeline.
Not a complex node based second brain. Log your activity, move fast, keep active. Quick notes, made faster with templates for your common activities.
10:03
Informationally dense.
Tag things with #tag, people with @person, resources with /home. You can add more too. Every tag can carry context — so the AI knows what #big-project actually is when it distils your day.
10:08
Write notes as a habit.
Struggle to get into the logging mindset? Built in pomodoro to prompt you to log and structure your work. Plus a habit tracker so you can watch the habit build over time.
10:16
Days and weeks, distilled.
What's important is what you are doing. Use statuses to track task completion and highlight what you need to get done.
14:00 how it feels
14:30
Hit ⌥ + L. Type. Hit return. That's it.
19:00 principles
19:00
Simple, Quick
This isn't an all-in-one note taking app. This is a drop-off point to leave stuff so you can keep moving fast and effectively.
19:05
Supply your own AI
Bring your own Anthropic API key and you handle the cost. Or pay $20/year and we handle it for you.
19:06
Plain text, always.
Every summary is plain text. No proprietary formats, no lock-in, exportable. Your notes are yours.
19:20
Actively developed.
Distillog is under active development. See what's planned on the roadmap and let us know what would make your workflow better.
20:00 the ask
20:00
The app is free. Log all you like, build the habit, and see if you think it would benefit your workflow.
20:02
For AI summaries, we use Anthropic. We have made it easy for you to add your own key, but for those that don't we need to charge.
20:08
$20/year for daily and weekly summaries
