Hi James — I'd love to see what you have in mind for the redesign.
A before/after on one screen is a low-commitment way to evaluate your work.

Looking forward to it. — Alpaslan

Three seconds.
Any content.

gist. lives quietly in your menu bar. It never runs in the background, never watches your screen. It activates only when you ask it to.

01
Press the shortcut

Trigger gist. from anywhere on your Mac — while reading email, browsing, coding, trading, anything.

Space
02
Drag to select

Draw a region over anything on your screen. An email, a chart, a legal clause, a meme, an error message.

03
Get the gist

A floating panel appears with exactly what you need to know — and the right actions for that specific content.

It reads the room.
Every time.

🧠

Context-aware actions

gist. doesn't just explain content — it understands what you need to do with it. Select an email and get a ready-to-send reply. Select a stock chart and get the trading signal. Select a legal clause and get the plain-language risk read.
