Use cases
One place for what you keep, whatever you keep it for.
A few of the ways people use Rill, each with the features it uses and how it works, step by step. Everything named here is in Rill on the web today; a feature that needs the Rill plan or an add-on says so.
Research and reading
For anyone who reads a lot for work: analysts, writers, researchers.
Save articles and papers as you find them, follow the sources you trust, and highlight as you read. Your highlights and your own notes sit in one library, so a question can draw on both.
How it worksClient meetings and follow-ups
For consultants, advisers and anyone whose week is client calls.
Record the call or bring in the transcript afterwards. Rill writes the summary, the decisions and the possible to-dos, tags the meeting with the client you name, and adds a to-do only when you tap it.
How it worksRecipes and household admin
For whoever keeps the household running.
Snap a recipe from a magazine; photograph a receipt; forward the bills. Each lands in your library with its details read, and the ones that belong together are grouped for you.
How it worksTravel, warranties and important documents
For the confirmations, warranties, policies and papers you only need now and then.
Forward a booking confirmation or snap a warranty card. Rill files it with its dates, amounts and numbers, shows the PDF as its pages when you open it, and keeps the sensitive ones sealed in the Vault if you choose.
How it worksStudy and learning
For students and anyone learning something new.
Keep course readings and your own notes together. Highlight as you read, have an article read aloud, and ask questions answered only from the material you chose.
How it worksA founder’s day
For founders and operators who juggle meetings, people and promises.
Start from Today: your calendar with the free time shown, what you owe people, and the notes from yesterday’s calls. Hand the repeat work to agents that wait for your approval before anything goes out.
How it worksWriting and thinking in notes
For people who think by writing: notes, drafts, ideas in progress.
Write in a real editor, link notes to each other, and see the themes across them on a map. When you want a second opinion, ask Rill to push back, with every counter-point sourced.
How it worksMoving from Evernote, Notion or a read-later app
For anyone bringing years of notes and saved links into one place.
Bring in an Evernote export with its attachments, a Notion or Obsidian export, and your read-later list. Notebooks stay notebooks, tags stay tags, and PDFs open as PDFs.
How it worksYour notes inside Claude and ChatGPT
For people who already work in an AI app and want it to know what they know.
Connect Rill to Claude or ChatGPT with one address. The app can search your notes, open one and read your saved pages and highlights, within what you allow. Vault notes are never shared, and every read is listed for you.
