Gisty

Gisty summarises any web page with a single click — no second click, no waiting on a tiny popup. WHY GISTY Most summariser extensions make you click, wait for a dropdown to load, click "summarise," then squint at a 300px-wide popup. Gisty skips straight to the summary the moment you click the icon, in a real resizable, movable window — not a locked-in popup. FEATURES - Single click → instant summary, no extra steps - Resizable, movable panel — use it like a real window, not a cramped popup - Four summary styles: Brief, Bullets, Detailed, ELI5 - Built-in chat — ask follow-up questions about the page, or anything else; Gisty knows the article and can reason beyond it - Text-to-speech — listen to the summary or any chat answer - Choice of AI provider — Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or Grok (xAI). Use whichever you already have a key for - Live model discovery — Gisty fetches the current model list directly from your chosen provider, so it's never stuck on an outdated model - Light and dark themes - Re-summarise on demand, switch tabs and it catches up automatically - Full-width summary by default — chat only appears when you use it, maximising reading space - Draggable split — adjust the summary/chat ratio to your preference; persists across sessions BRING YOUR OWN KEY Gisty needs an API key from at least one AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or xAI). Several offer free trial credit or a free tier, so you can start without spending anything. Your key stays on your device — Gisty has no server and never sees your data. FREE, NO ADS, OPEN SOURCE Gisty will always be free. There are no ads, no premium tier, no account required. Full source code is public on GitHub — inspect it, fork it, or contribute: github.com/dilippanicker/gisty PRIVACY Gisty reads the page you're viewing only when you click to summarise it. That text, along with any questions you ask, goes directly from your browser to the AI provider you've configured, using your own API key. Nothing passes through any Gisty-operated server, because none exists. Full privacy policy linked below. PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED - Read current tab — to extract the page text you want summarised - Storage — to remember your API key and preferences locally - Windows/tabs — to open the resizable panel and track which page to summarise - Network access to api.anthropic.com, api.openai.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com, api.x.ai — to send your request directly to the provider you've chosen, and to fetch that provider's current model list
