What is Sumr?

Sumr is an iOS, iPadOS, macOS and VisionOS app that summarizes web pages and YouTube videos from Safari's share sheet, then lets you ask follow-up questions. It supports 40+ languages, custom prompts, local storage with iCloud sync, and either its own AI provider or a provider you supply.

Sumr is an Apple-first tool that condenses web pages, YouTube videos, product listings, job posts and legal documents into short summaries. The workflow is built around Safari's share sheet: you open a page, tap Share, pick Sumr, and receive bullet points almost immediately. From there you can ask follow-up questions about the content, share the bullets along with the source link, or return to the main app to revisit saved summaries later. It targets readers who skim a lot of material on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Vision Pro and want the gist without leaving the browser. The app keeps a library of past summaries on device, with optional sync through iCloud across Apple hardware. A search field lets you dig back through that archive, and custom prompts let you shift the output toward a particular format or focus rather than accepting a single default style. Output arrives in more than 40 languages, so the summary language does not have to match the source page language. It also handles YouTube pages, not just text articles, which widens the practical use beyond reading lists. The notable structural choice is provider flexibility. Sumr can run on its own bundled AI service or connect to an AI provider you already pay for, which matters for people with existing API arrangements or strict data preferences. That said, page content still leaves the device and goes to whichever provider you select, so the privacy model is local storage plus third-party processing, not on-device inference. Summaries are saved locally, but the text of the page is transmitted when you request a summary. Against general chatbots and browser reading modes, Sumr's advantage is speed of capture: summaries take a couple of taps from inside Safari instead of a copy-paste round trip. Its weakness is scope. There is no Android client, no Windows or Linux app, and no browser extension for Chrome or Firefox outside the share-sheet path. Readers who live outside Apple's ecosystem, or who need team-wide sharing and admin controls, will find it narrower than multi-platform summarizers.

How do you use Sumr?

  1. 1Install the app on an Apple device
    Download Sumr from the App Store on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Vision Pro. The same app covers all supported Apple platforms.
  2. 2Pick an AI provider
    Open settings and choose whether to use the bundled provider or connect your own AI account. This decision drives both cost and how page content is processed.
  3. 3Summarize a page from Safari
    Open any webpage in Safari, tap Share, then select Sumr from the share menu. A summary appears within seconds, with an option to ask follow-up questions.
  4. 4Refine with follow-up questions and prompts
    Ask questions about the summarized content, or apply a custom prompt to steer the output toward the format you need. Change the output language if it differs from the page.
  5. 5Save, search and share results
    Summaries land in the main app's saved list, where you can search them later or share the bullets together with the original source link.
  6. 6Review pricing and provider options
    Before committing, check the detailed pricing page to compare the subscription against the bring-your-own-provider route and confirm what the free trial covers.
