The product

Distilled Books is a Sookshum product. It gives busy readers the key ideas of a nonfiction book in under 15 minutes, as text or audio, with personalised recommendations and a library of their own.

What we built

A complete, published consumer app, plus the admin panel behind it:

  • Background audio with chapters, lock-screen controls and CarPlay support.
  • Discovery and library: explore, recommendations, reading history and a personal library.
  • Habits: streaks, onboarding, daily reminders and push notifications.
  • Sign in with Google or Apple.
  • Ads and subscriptions working side by side.
  • A Supabase back end with Firebase analytics and crash reporting, and a Next.js admin panel for managing content.

Why we built it

Building our own product keeps us honest about what it takes to ship and run an app end to end: store releases, subscriptions, notifications and the support that follows. The same Flutter architecture runs in our client apps.
