## What is Side Brain?

Your second brain for the web. Save articles, read without distractions, and find anything instantly with AI-powered search.

Side Brain turns any webpage into a clean, focused reading experience. One tap in Safari saves the article, strips away ads and clutter, generates an AI summary, and makes it searchable — all on your device, all offline.

SAVE FROM SAFARI IN ONE TAP
See an interesting article? Tap the share button and select Side Brain. The article is saved, cleaned up, and processed automatically. No manual copying, no bookmarking chaos — just a fast, frictionless capture flow that works with any webpage.

READ WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS
Enjoy articles the way they were meant to be read. Side Brain removes ads, pop-ups, cookie banners, and visual clutter. What remains is pure content in a clean, beautiful reading view designed for focus.

AI SUMMARIES IN SECONDS
Don't have time to read the full article? Side Brain generates key takeaways so you can grasp the main points at a glance. Decide in seconds whether an article deserves your full attention or a quick skim is enough.

TRANSLATE TO YOUR LANGUAGE
Reading in a foreign language? Side Brain translates entire articles into your preferred language using AI. Perfect for researchers, students, and professionals who follow international sources.

SMART SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS YOU
Forget keyword matching. Side Brain uses semantic search to find articles by meaning. Ask "articles about productivity tips" or "that piece about climate change" and get relevant results — even if those exact words never appear in the article.

WORKS OFFLINE
Every saved article is stored locally on your device. Read on the plane, in the subway, or anywhere without an internet connection. Your entire article library is always with you.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays on your device. Side Brain does not collect, share, or upload your articles, reading habits, or personal information. No accounts, no tracking, no cloud sync to third-party servers.

POWERED BY GOOGLE GEMINI
Side Brain's AI features — article summaries, translations, and semantic search embeddings — are powered by Google Gemini. We send only the article content needed to generate each result, and nothing is retained for training.

WHO IS SIDE BRAIN FOR?

• Busy professionals who save dozens of articles but never find time to read them
• Students and researchers who need to quickly understand long academic or news articles
• Non-native speakers who want to read international content in their own language
• Curious minds who collect articles from across the web and want them organized in one place
• Anyone tired of ads, pop-ups, and website clutter ruining their reading experience

HOW IT WORKS

1. Find an article in Safari or any browser
2. Tap Share → Side Brain
