For Mac, iPhone & iPad

Everything you reuse, one keystroke away.

The canned reply, the IBAN, the passport scan, the portfolio PDF. Press ⌥ Space in any app, type a few letters, press ↩ — and it lands where your cursor already was.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the quick turnaround. Here are our bank details for invoice #0142:

Best,

Animation: while writing an email, pressing Option-Space opens the Summon panel. Typing “iban” finds the saved bank details, and pressing Return pastes them into the email.

Speed

Faster than finding it.

No window to find, no tab to switch to, no clipboard to babysit. The panel appears over your work, and disappears again the moment you've got what you came for.

0.55ms

to re-rank 2,000 items on every keystroke — measured by the test suite, which fails the build if it slips.

One place

Snippets, images, files. Together.

Summon isn't where you write, and it isn't where you keep everything. It holds the handful of things you reach for again and again — so it can be very good at getting them to you.

A library that stays out of the way

Nested folders with their own icon and colour, tags that cut across them, and pins that float what matters to the top.

The Summon library window, with folders in the sidebar and items in a list

Fill in the blanks

A snippet with blanks becomes a small form. Tab between fields, ↩ to insert.

Search that reads

Text in images and PDFs is recognised on your device, so a phrase on page four is one search away.

Privacy & the vault

Private is the default.

Mark anything sensitive and it's encrypted on your device, with a key Apple never sees. A locked item is still findable by its name — but nothing in its contents, its file, or even the text in a scan will match.

  • No account, no analytics, no tracking — in the app or on this site
  • AES-GCM encryption, a per-item key, unlocked with a PIN, passphrase or Face ID / Touch ID
  • “Encrypt everything” seals your whole library before it syncs
  • Text recognition and summaries run on your device, never on a server
  • Open source, so every claim here can be checked — read the code
