About

ReadItWiser

Features
Read full description

ReadItWiser is an AI article reader that scores what is worth reading before you open every saved link. Bookmark an article and AI summarizes, translates, gives it a 1–5 reading-value score, and flags hype or weak evidence. News, AI updates, medicine, science, social issues — the more you follow, the more exaggerated claims, promotional posts, and thin articles you have to filter. ReadItWiser helps you decide what deserves your time first. With Pro, GPT can automatically review your inbox within a monthly allowance of 100,000 tokens. ■ Apple AI, with GPT when you need it - On-device Apple Intelligence: generate summaries, tags and reading-value scores on compatible devices. On-device processing works offline. - Private Cloud Compute (PCC): on iOS 27 or later, use Apple's cloud AI for long-article summaries, Reader translation and detailed article analysis without a ReadItWiser subscription. A network connection is required. - PCC uses Apple's daily AI allowance associated with your iCloud account. Your iCloud+ plan may provide more access. The app shows quota status and reset times when Apple makes them available. - GPT is an optional addition. Reading notes, inbox batch review and GPT autopilot use your Pro or ticket allowance. Deep dives with web search use purchased tickets. ■ Features - One-tap save from X, your browser, or any app via the iOS share sheet - Article extraction and offline reading - AI auto-translation in the reader (read foreign articles in your own language — on by default) - Automatic markdown of hype, exaggeration, and guru-sales tone - Full-text search (title / body / tags), highlights and notes - Batch AI review of your inbox (Pro) - GPT autopilot (Pro) ■ Plans - Free: saving, reading, and Apple AI are free. PCC requires a supported environment and Apple quota. No free GPT trial. - Pro (monthly/yearly): ad-free reading and 100K GPT tokens per month. Charged at purchase, no free trial. Web research uses purchased tickets. - One-time analysis ticket: top up GPT analysis without a subscription. ■ About subscriptions Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription (see in-app for pricing; no free trial). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. ■ Apple Intelligence compatibility On-device AI requires iOS 26 or later, a compatible device, Apple Intelligence enabled, and a supported region and language. Compatible iPhones include iPhone 15 Pro models and iPhone 16 models or later. PCC requires iOS 27 or later, a network connection, and Apple's model availability and AI allowance. If you reach the limit, wait for it to reset or review the iCloud+ options offered by Apple. ReadItWiser Pro is not required for Apple AI. On other devices, saving, article extraction, offline reading, search, highlights and GPT analysis with a paid allowance remain available. ■ Terms & Privacy - Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://readitwiser.com/privacy/ ■ Support support@qooq.co.jp
