Share a link to see an AI summary
Share a link from another app or paste a URL into BriefFeed. For supported content, BriefFeed generates a summary after fetching or opening the page. Some pages need to load and have their text expanded in the reader first.

See key points while browsing Safari
Enable the included Safari extension on iPhone and iPad to see AI summaries beside supported posts, discussions, and pages. The extension summarizes supported content already loaded on the page, helping you choose what to read in depth.

Keep what is worth returning to
Save summaries with their source links and browse your saved items by author. Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your Apple iCloud account, without creating a separate BriefFeed account.

Continue from the browser extension
Connect a compatible BriefFeed browser extension on your Mac to exchange saved items through an on-device connection while the Mac app is running. Those items then join your iCloud-synced Apple library.

Supported content
On selected websites, the Safari extension supports social posts, discussions, articles, repositories, paper pages, podcast show notes, and available video text. Support depends on the site, page type, and accessible content. Video summaries use only the current video's available transcript, subtitles, timeline text, or chapters. Podcast summaries use show notes. BriefFeed does not directly analyze audio or video frames. Links that cannot be summarized can still be saved for later.

Optional Notion sync
Connect your own Notion integration to sync items you explicitly save in the Safari extension. The Notion token stays in that extension's local storage. Synced content goes directly from Safari to Notion, without passing through BriefFeed servers.

Stay connected to the source
Summary requests use the source text and limited source information needed for the summary. The extension does not send cookies or account sessions to BriefFeed. Original links remain available so you can check details and read in context.
