What Gistory is
Gistory is an AI-powered read-it-later app for saving articles, finding them later, and getting summaries. When you save an article, it creates a TL;DR with three key points and key insights, plus an optional full summary. Summaries are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Hindi.
You can save articles from the web, mobile apps, or Chrome and Firefox extensions. Your library syncs across platforms, with full-text search, distraction-free reading, dark mode, and offline reading. The free plan includes unlimited article saves, 10 AI summaries per month, and a 90-day article history. Premium costs $7.99 a month and adds unlimited summaries and history, Notion and Obsidian integrations, and an ad-free experience. A seven-day trial is listed.
Gistory is available on web, iOS, Android, and as a browser extension. It does not bypass paywalls; for paywalled articles it saves the URL, title, and any available preview. Gistory says it uses industry-standard encryption, does not sell personal information, and lets users export or delete their data. It is a product of SPD Services, LLC, whose maker headquarters are in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.
