What Get TLDR actually does
Read the page without reading the page
Open Get TLDR on any article and a focused sidebar distills it to the core idea, key points, and next steps — right beside the content, so you never leave the tab you're on.
- In-page sidebar summary with the essentials up top
- Word and token counts on every result
- Copy, share, or open the source in one click
Choose the way you think
Switch between built-in styles — concise, bullet points, executive, technical, action items — or save a custom prompt that frames every summary the way your work needs it.
- Five built-in summary styles
- Custom prompts you write once and reuse
- Your last choice is remembered next time
Get the point before the progress bar ends
Summarize supported video pages straight from the player or the popup, then read a transcript-grounded brief beside the video instead of scrubbing through it.
- Summarize from the player or the popup
- Transcript-based, using your chosen prompt
- Saved automatically like any other summary
Your reading, remembered
Every summary lands in a saved library you can search, revisit, copy, and export. Sources, styles, and word counts stay attached so you can find that one summary from last week.
- Search across every saved summary
- Open the original source anytime
- Export your notes when you need them elsewhere
Pick a sentence, get the point
Highlight anything on a page, right-click, and summarize just that selection — the result opens in the same sidebar so you can pull the meaning out of one passage without summarizing the whole page.
- Summarize selected text from the context menu
- Great for long threads, docs, and comment sections
- Same sidebar, same styles, same saved library
