## What is Gist?

Gist turns any article, video, or podcast into a clean AI summary in seconds — right from iOS's share sheet.

Found something worth reading but don't have 15 minutes? Share it with Gist. You'll get the key points, the most important quotes, and an estimated read time, so you can decide whether to dive in — or just move on with what you need to know.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open any article, video, or podcast in Safari, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or any other app.
2. Tap the Share button and pick "Gist."
3. Gist summarizes it with AI and opens your summary in the browser. Done.

Every summary you create is saved to your Recent Gists inside the app, so you can revisit anything you've read and pick up where you left off.

BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY READ
• One-tap summaries from the iOS share sheet — no copy-pasting URLs
• Works with Safari, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, News, Reeder, and any app with a Share button
• Clean, shareable summary pages you can send to friends or coworkers
• Local history of every Gist you've made, newest first
• No account, no sign-up, no tracking — just share and read

WHO IT'S FOR
• Execs and knowledge workers drowning in newsletters and Slack links
• Students speed-running research
• Curious people who want the substance without the filler
• Anyone tired of "this article will take you 18 minutes to read"

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Gist doesn't require an account and doesn't collect personal information. Each install gets an anonymous ID used only for rate limiting. Your summary history lives on your device. See our full privacy policy at gist.website/privacy.

Questions, feedback, or a URL that won't summarize? Email support@gist.website — we read every message.
