Guide

What Summarize Anything does

Summarize Anything summarizes copied articles, messages, or text into a concise overview or structured takeaways. The summary follows the language of the source text. It reads from your clipboard and shows the result in a preview above your keyboard.

Guide

Why it belongs on the keyboard

Long text arrives while you are busy with something else. A summary above the keyboard gives you the gist in the app you are already in, so you can decide what to do next or reply right away.

Guide

Know its limits

A summary leaves things out by design. For anything where details matter, such as contracts, instructions, or numbers, read the original.
