About this app

Summarise any screen in one tap. tldr Summary is a floating AI summariser that reads whatever's on your screen and gives you the gist - no copy-paste, no switching apps, no faff.

Tap the button. Get the summary. Move on.

Works in every app on your phone - browsers, Reddit, Gmail, news apps, PDFs, docs, anything with text on screen. Powered by Anthropic's Claude AI for human-quality summaries that actually make sense.

WHY TLDR SUMMARY

Most AI summary apps charge £4.99 a week - that's over £260 a year. tldr Summary Pro starts at £2.49 a month. Same quality AI summaries, a fraction of the price.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Summarise any screen, any app, in one tap
- Choose your style - Classic, Bullet Points, ELI5, Scientific, Executive Brief, Critical Analysis, Q&A, Statistical
- Adjust summary length from one to four sentences
- Read summaries aloud with built-in text-to-speech
- Review your full summary history (Power plan)
- Draggable floating button - put it wherever suits you

PLANS
Free - 5 summaries a day, no card required, no account needed
Pro - 10 summaries a day, more styles, from £2.49/month
Power - 50 summaries a day, all styles plus history, from £4.99/month

HOW IT WORKS
① Enable the accessibility service (one-time setup)
② The tldr button floats over whatever app you're using
③ Tap it - AI reads the screen and summarises the text
④ Done

BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU USE YOUR PHONE

We all skim. We all scroll past walls of text hoping to catch the important bit. tldr Summary skips straight to the point - so you never have to wade through filler, padding, or fluff again.Whether it's a 10-minute read you have 30 seconds for, a dense email from your boss, or a Reddit thread that somehow became 400 comments, tldr Summary gets you up to speed instantly.

PERFECT FOR
→ News readers who want the story, not the spin
→ Students cutting through dense reading material
→ Busy professionals drowning in emails
→ Researchers skimming long articles and PDFs
→ Anyone who's ever scrolled to the comments to find out what happened
