## What is Sumr?

Summarize it all in one tap.

Sumr turns webpages, PDFs, YouTube videos, supported social videos, and shared text into clear summaries. Use it directly in Safari or from the Share Sheet, then keep every result in one searchable library.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Share content from Safari, Chrome, Files, Mail, Notes, and other apps
• Summarize webpages, PDFs, YouTube videos, and supported social videos
• Ask follow-up questions without leaving the summary
• Customize the tone, structure, and focus with your own prompt
• Search and filter saved summaries by content type
• Export selected summaries or your full library as Markdown
• Back up and restore your summary library
• Choose your summary language independently of the source

CHOOSE HOW YOU USE AI

Use Sumr's built-in service, or bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, xAI, or an OpenAI-compatible provider. Bringing your own key does not require a Sumr subscription.

SUMR PREMIUM

Annual, Monthly, and Lifetime options unlock premium hosted summaries, PDF and supported social-video processing, Deep Sumr visual analysis, and follow-up features. A separate Follow Ups purchase permanently unlocks questions and custom prompts for bring-your-own-key users. Eligible purchases support Family Sharing.

BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES

Your summaries and settings sync with iCloud across iPhone and iPad, with support for Apple silicon Macs. Sumr is designed to stay out of the way until you need it.

PRIVACY

Bring-your-own-key summarization goes directly to your selected provider. Subscriber requests are processed and immediately discarded. Summaries are saved in the app and sync through iCloud.

### 5/5 — Gute Zusammenfassungen

*2026-04-06*

Ich mach die Einfachheit der App und dir guten Zusammenfassungen. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback! Das motiviert mich die App weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern.

### 5/5 — everyday helper

*2026-03-14*

it’s seamless, native and fast. it’s not in my way but always there if i need it. great app, would recommend anyone to download it. text appears super satisfying and it’s convenient that the summaries are stored in the same place where i read the article.

i also have some feature ideas.

context: ngl ever since i’ve created the prototype of this app, i was using it on daily basis.

### 5/5 — Such a useful app!

*2025-02-05*

I appreciate these quick summaries on both desktop and mobile. A minimal, clean UI that’s highly functional. Cheers!

**Developer response:** thank you for your kind words! it truly means a lot.

### 1/5 — Why no option for LLM

*2025-01-25*

The app doesn’t allow you to use the LLM of your choice. You must use ChatGPT’s API, which is nothing I want.

**Developer response:** i am considering adding support for more LLM providers

EDIT 1: since v2.20 Sumr supports Anthropic and custom (openAI compatible) providers
EDIT 2: since v2.30 Sumr supports Google Gemini

### 5/5 — Great Summaries

*2024-12-01*

The extension gives summaries in an easily digestible way and provides key metrics instead of a blob of text. Good for getting the gist and deciding if I want to read the full thing. Also like that it uses my GPT key for better security and privacy and does not require a subscription. Simple and useful.

**Developer response:** thank you for your positive review! it motivates me improve the app further.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.71 — 2026-07-30

This stability update fixes an issue that could prevent Sumr from opening after updating to version 2.70.

### 2.70 — 2026-07-30

Reasoning controls, more reliable Share Sheet and Safari summaries, and recovery snapshots for your library!

• Reasoning controls: supported OpenAI models now let you choose Instant, Low, or Medium reasoning. Use Instant for quick summaries or a deeper level for more complex content.
• Updated AI models: choose from GPT-5.6, Claude 5, Gemini 3.6, and Grok 4.5 when you bring your own API key.
• Share Sheet summaries: summaries created in other apps now appear in your main library more reliably, ready to revisit or continue with follow-up questions.
• Recovery snapshots: if your library needs recovery, Data Management lets you export recent safety snapshots as a standard .sumrbackup file.
• Safari extension: summarization and follow-up questions are more reliable, with quota and provider details kept in sync with the main app.
• On iPad and Mac, the share window stays fully readable over the page behind it. Bulk selection on iPad also has a clearer highlight while keeping native selection controls.
• Annual, Monthly, and Lifetime options are now shown together with localized prices and your current or scheduled plan status.

### 2.60 — 2026-04-21

Deep Sumr beta, Exports and backups are here, first-class support for xAI for the BYOK users!

- Deep Sumr beta for videos (subscribers): after a video summary finishes, tap "Deep Sumr" to add visual analysis of what's on screen - demonstrations, text overlays, ingredients, steps - then re-summarize with the full picture. Great for cooking, tutorials, product demos, and any video where the transcript isn't available or enough.
- Summaries now render markdown in the output: bold, italics, headers, and clickable links.
- Markdown export: save summaries as .md files with title, date, type, and URL in the frontmatter. Export a single entry, multiple entries, or everything at once.
- Backup your full summary history (original input, summary, follow-up Q&A) as a .sumrbackup file, and restore it incrementally on any device with duplicate detection. Great for moving between phones even if they are not on the same iCloud account or keeping a local archive.
- New provider: bring your own xAI API key and pick from Grok models alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Custom.
- Also new for providers: tap "Check API Key" in xAI settings to verify your key in one go.
- Bulk actions: swipe left on any summary to enter selection mode - delete or export multiple summaries at once. Search and filters stay active while selecting.
- Force Sync across devices when iCloud gets stuck, plus visible iCloud account status to help troubleshoot cross-device sync.

### 2.50 — 2026-03-28

PDF support is here! 
Share a PDF from Files or tap a PDF link in your browser - Sumr reads it and gives you the summary. Works with research papers, reports, invoices, anything. PDF is is a cloud feature, hence it's for Sumr subscribers only.

Also new: content type badges so you can see at a glance what each summary is (Web, PDF, Video, Text), search filters to find what you need fast, and a redesigned onboarding that actually explains what Sumr can do.

Title generation got smarter too -- Sumr now extracts the real document title from PDFs and videos instead of using the filename.

Plus a bunch of UI polish for iOS 26 Liquid Glass.

### 2.40 — 2026-03-17

- Video summarization: share TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook videos directly to Sumr
- AI-generated titles for social media summaries (those usually don't have dedicated titles; Youtube titles preserved as is
