Summarize open in OneMacApp, with its settings in the inspector.

How it works

Three steps.Nothing to learn.

  1. 1

    Drop what you need to read

    PDFs, text and Markdown files, images of pages, and audio or video recordings all work. Recordings are transcribed first.

  2. 2

    Pick a style

    Key Points gives you a short bulleted list. Paragraph gives you one short block of prose. For recordings, pick the spoken language too.

  3. 3

    Press Summarize

    Each summary is saved as a text file in a dated OneMacApp folder in Downloads and shown in the app. Your files stay as they were.

The details

Everything you’d want.Nothing you wouldn’t.

  • Apple Intelligence, on-device

    Summaries are written by Apple’s on-device language model. Your documents are not uploaded to any server.

  • Handles long documents

    Long text is condensed in parts, then combined into one summary, so a lengthy report still comes back as a few lines.

  • Sticks to the source

    The model is told to use only facts from your text and to keep names and numbers, so the summary reflects what the document says.

  • Reads more than text

    Scanned pages and images are read with on-device OCR, and recordings are transcribed on your Mac before they are summarized.

No. The summary is written on your Mac. Nothing you drop in is uploaded.

Yes. Drop the audio or video, choose the language that is spoken, and press Summarize. The recording is transcribed on your Mac first, then summarized.
