Shortify is the first summarizer that works seamlessly inside all your apps, without leaving them. Anywhere you can share, you can Shortify. It's perfect for articles, Youtube, PDFs, and clearing out your backlog of tabs. Get started free. 🩳🥳
Hey Product Hunt,
I made Shortify as a fun weekend project because I was spending way too much time on my phone. Between Youtube, Apple News, Substack, and Safari — there's just too much content. A lot of existing summarizers force you to use a specific browser, or takes you out of your app, or have weird privacy-invasive trackers. I wanted to make one that's private, intuitive, and works inside every app.
Shortify works in any app that has a share button. Use your apps normally, and when something's too long, just tap Share, then Shortify, and you get a summary that's ~85% shorter — all without leaving your original app.
My favorite use cases:
- shrinking 15 minute Youtube videos sent from friends ("you gotta watch this!")
- reading "thinkpieces" that have a bit too much history (usually from my RSS reader)
- clearing out my backlog of 500 tabs in Safari ("I'll read this one day")
- sites/apps that are too cluttered (skips the ads/plugins)
- getting the gist of an article before committing to reading it
Shortify is not a subscription. Everyone gets 100 Shorts (credits for summaries) free, and they never expire. How much time could you save? Well, with 1000 Shorts and a reading speed of 238 wpm (Brysbaert 2019), you'll get about 72 hours of your life back for the cost of 2 coffees. 🥳
I learned a bunch building this, and now I actually do use Shortify every day. I hope it saves you time too. So far it's been tested by my friends, but now I'd love to get your feedback. Thanks for hunting! 🩳
Best,
Johnny
@johnnylin Congrats Johnny! Your app is a game changer for people with short attention spans like me 🙋♀️. I'll make sure to use my 100 Shorts wisely and enjoy my newfound free time! ☕️👏
This app sounds amazing! I'm always on the lookout for privacy-focused tools and Shortify seems like it fits the bill perfectly. Can't wait to try it out and declutter my tabs! 🙌🏼

Love it, what a time saver and in my opinion, the critical elements of the article are captured so that full comprehension is still achieved despite the "precis format" . I havent tried it on an instructional video . . . yet.
