An iPhone and iPad app that condenses self-help books, tests their advice against real-world experience, and keeps the useful bits.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

Each title is divided into six sections, including the ideas, reported results from people who tried them, a “Bullshit?” chapter, reader disagreement, an action to take, and one point to retain. The editorial process is described unusually concretely: ten ordinary people read every line, and seven must laugh before it survives. The site also says readers can browse by idea rather than only by book, with three books available before year-long or permanent access.
