AI summarization that captures what matters — in any macOS app
ToneMate's AI summarizer lets you compress any long text into a clear, structured summary in seconds — directly in the app you're already using. Select a long email thread, a research article, a meeting transcript, or any document, trigger ToneMate with your global keyboard shortcut, and get a concise summary with the key points, decisions, and next steps. No switching apps, no copy-pasting.
You control the format: request bullet points for a quick scan, a narrative executive summary for a presentation, or a list of action items after a meeting. The AI understands context and priorities — it doesn't just shorten the text, it extracts what matters and presents it in a format you can act on immediately.
Chain summarization with other ToneMate actions for even more power: transcribe an audio recording and immediately summarize it, or summarize a long document and then translate the summary into another language. Works with any AI model — local via Ollama or MLX for privacy, or cloud AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google for speed.

Everything you need to know about AI summarization on Mac
What types of content can ToneMate summarize?
ToneMate can summarize any text you can select on your Mac: emails, Slack threads, research papers, reports, legal documents, meeting notes, web articles, product documentation, and more. As long as the text is selectable, ToneMate can compress it into a clear summary.
Can I choose the format of the summary?
Yes. You can specify the format in your context or preset: bullet points for a quick overview, a numbered action item list after a meeting, a narrative executive summary for a report, or a one-sentence TLDR. The AI follows your format instructions closely.
Will the AI miss important details?
ToneMate is trained to identify the most relevant information — key decisions, action items, risks, and core arguments. If there are specific points you always want preserved (e.g., dates, names, budgets), add them to your preset context and the AI will prioritize them.
Does it work with very long documents?
Yes. Select any portion of text — a few paragraphs or a long multi-page section — and ToneMate will summarize it. For very long documents, summarizing section by section and then combining gives the most accurate result.
Can I summarize in a different language than the original?
Yes. You can ask ToneMate to summarize a document and output the summary in a different language. For example, summarize a long English report and get the key points in Spanish, or the other way around. Great for multilingual teams.
Does it work in any macOS app?
Yes. ToneMate works system-wide via a global keyboard shortcut. Select text in Mail, Notion, Safari, Pages, Slack, or any other macOS app and run Summarize instantly — no need to copy and paste text into a separate tool.
Stop reading everything. Start understanding what matters.
