TL;DR ::

Sumr is your go-to tool for cutting through the clutter of lengthy articles, providing clear and concise summaries to help you stay informed efficiently.

• Open web page in Safari
• Instantly get insights with Sumr
• Ask follow up questions about the current page
• Share the bullets alongside with the source URL

The Problem ::

Most people don’t read beyond the headers. And it’s not entirely users’ fault - articles are often cluttered and unnecessarily long. Some articles might even become obsolete while you’re reading them, so we need to choose wisely what to read and what to skim.

The Solution ::

Sumr quickly gives you an idea of an article. It’s perfect for poorly written or cluttered long web articles, product pages, company profiles, job postings, etc. You are getting an idea of the content beyond the headline, but without investing too much time.

Key Features ::

• NEW: Ask follow-up questions about the current page! Find anything, extract, format.
• Works Right in Safari: Sumr integrates seamlessly with Safari, the browser you probably use daily.
• Works Only When Needed: AI in Sumr isn’t gatekeeping or standing in your way; it’s there if you need it, as it should be.
• Minimal and Simple Operation: One-button summarization, one-button share – simple things we need the most.
• Translate or keep original: Sumr can output summary in your language or keep it in the original language.
• Local Storage for Summaries: Summaries are stored per page, on your device. Revisit websites and access previously created summaries without re-summarizing, saving you both time and API usage costs.
• Cross-Platform Availability: Sumr works seamlessly on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. You can give it a lucky try on Vision OS too.
• Cost-Effective Usage: By using your own OpenAI key, there are no subscription fees. You only pay for what you use, with no mediators involved. Summarizing one article costs you fractions of a cent.
• Sharing Features: Sumr arguably outperforms web clippers. The sharing button grabs the summary along with the source URL, perfect for storing in (Apple) notes. The copy button only copies the summary bullet points, ideal for sharing with friends on social media before starting your usual mutually respectful and civil discussion.
• Privacy and Control: You can choose what websites Sumr has access to and revoke access anytime. Sumr only looks at the page when you click the Summarize button and clears the content listener right after that. The Clear button removes the summary from the device completely.
• Model selection: You can choose between GPT models for summarization.

Initial Setup:

1. Install: Download and install Sumr from the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, MacOS (you can try Vision Pro too).

Pricing ::

The core functionality of Sumr is free.

• Costs of using the API is about $0.0015 USD for summarizing a 1000-word article.
• Meaning you need to summarize ~7 pages of that size to pay 1 cent.

We have full costs break down with examples on the pricing page.

Optional subscription (coming soon)

• We will fine-tune a custom model, specially trained to summarize in the way we find it useful.
• For those, who will want to use this special model, we might create a subscription.
• Also that would allow those people to use the app, which don’t want to bother with getting API keys.

We will always keep the API option available to make the app accessible to everyone.

Advanced Features

• Ask follow-up questions (released!)
• Alter default summarization - prompt and length (Coming Soon)
• Change the model type - custom GPT model (so that you can use your fine-tuned model), Anthropic, Gemini, Gemini (Coming Soon)
• On-device model (Might be Coming Soon)

The advanced features are currently will be offered as a one-time purchase - just as the follow-up questions are now.
