## What is Gist?

With Gist, it's easy to magically shorten articles with cutting-edge AI. With a single tap, condense thousands of words into just a few hundred, preserving only the parts that matter. Gist articles aren't simple bullet points or a superficial summary—they retain the structure and writing style of the source. They sound just like the original piece. It's like the author wrote a whole new—much shorter—article, just for you.

Gist works in all the places you already read, like Safari, Files, NYTimes, Apple News and more. Inside any reading app, find "Share" and look for "Read with Gist". It's that easy. And in Safari, you can save a shortened article for later, right alongside your other tabs, with just a tap.

Gist articles are up to 80% shorter than the originals, all while retaining key facts, quotes, and other essential source material. Gist is perfect for...

News. Instead of just reading headlines, Gist gives you the best parts of every story. With Gist, focus on the facts and insights, not filler and fluff.

Recipes. Gist intelligently detects and keeps ingredients and cooking steps, while stripping away distractions.

PDFs. With support for documents up to 15,000 words in length, Gist is perfect when you want to quickly understand an interesting new paper or a daunting instruction manual.

As the saying goes, "If I had more time, I would've written a shorter letter."

Gist requires a monthly subscription of just $0.99.
