Use tool ↗About smry
smry is a reading app with AI attached. You save articles, papers and files from extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera, a bookmarklet or an iOS Shortcut; it strips each to a clean layout, summarises it, answers questions with the exact passage cited, reads it aloud and lets you highlight and export to note apps or a Kindle. It also follows RSS feeds, watches web pages for changes and exposes your library through a personal API and MCP server. The operator is AgentForce, LLC in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The free tier allows 20 summaries and one audio article a day; Patron is $3 a month billed yearly.

Pros & cons of smry
For $36 a year the Patron plan covers the whole save-read-summarise-highlight loop that usually takes two subscriptions, and the audio playback is a genuine reason to keep it. The developer API and MCP server are unusual at this price. The weak spot is the company: a Wyoming registered agent address and a Delaware clause is all you get.
Pros
- Capture from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera and Safari extensions plus an iOS Shortcut and bookmarklet
- Free tier is real: 20 summaries and one audio article every day
- Developer API, MCP server and OpenAPI spec are published, not enterprise-gated
- Patron, the entry paid plan, costs $3 a month on the yearly plan
Cons
- The desktop app is still listed as coming soon
- Free tier caps audio at one article a day and two voices
- The operating entity is only visible in the terms; the marketing site names no team
Best for
- People who save more articles than they read and want a summary first
- Commuters who want saved reading turned into audio
- Agent builders who want their reading list available over MCP
Not for
- Teams wanting shared collections and collaborative annotation
- Readers who mainly want a free, ad-free app, since the free tier is ad-supported
Watch out: It fetches and stores the full text of what you send it, so check that against the terms of any paywalled subscription you feed into it.
