Save it now, read it in one swipe. Every link comes back as a 30-second gist — nothing to file, nothing to organize. Your list empties itself.
You've saved 500 links you'll never read. Gisto is the read-later app where saved links come back already read — a 30-second gist for every article and video, in one calm list that empties itself.
FOLLOW CHANNELS, NOT FEEDS
Follow the YouTube channels you actually care about. When they post, Gisto summarizes the new video and leaves the gist in your inbox — no opening YouTube, no recommendations rabbit hole. Just the few channels you keep up with, quietly kept up with for you.
Read later, calmly.
Open tabs on every device. Newsletters you swear you'll "get to eventually." A group chat link you meant to read three days ago. Gisto turns that endless pile into one calm reading list — and gives you the gist of each one, so you decide what's actually worth your time.
No feed to scroll. No algorithm choosing for you. No notifications begging for attention. Just the things you saved, ready when you are.
THE GIST, NOT THE NOISE
Every link you save comes with a short, clear summary — the gist. Before you commit to a 20-minute read, you already know what it's about and whether it's for you. Skim first, read deep only when it earns it. It's the difference between a reading list that grows forever and one you actually finish.
A READER THAT RESPECTS YOU
When you do read, Gisto strips out the pop-ups, banners, and clutter and gives you clean, comfortable text. No ads. No tracking feed studying what you click. Your reading is yours.
• Save anything in a tap. Articles, newsletters, videos, threads — share to Gisto from any app and it's waiting for you later.
• Distraction-free reader. Just the words, in a layout built for actually reading.
• Star the keepers. The pieces worth remembering are one tap away, always.
• Everything else archives itself. Finished items quietly move on — a clean slate, not a guilt pile.
LESS DECIDING, MORE READING
Most "read later" apps quietly become another inbox: folders to maintain, tags to manage, a backlog that guilts you every time you open it. Gisto goes the other way. It handles the busywork — sorting, cleanup, organizing — so the only two things you ever do are read and star. Fewer decisions, less mental clutter, more of the reading you actually wanted.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Save a link from anywhere with the share sheet.
2. Gisto pulls the gist so you know what you're getting into.
3. Read what matters. Star what you love.
4. Whatever you finish archives on its own.
MADE FOR
• Tab hoarders who never quite make it back to "read it later."
• Newsletter readers drowning in an overflowing inbox.
• Curious people who save more than they'll ever get to — and want help getting to the good parts.
• Anyone who wants more of what matters and less of everything else.
WHY WE BUILT GISTO
We were tired of saving things we never read, and of apps that turned reading into one more thing to manage. Gisto is intentionally small. It won't gamify your reading or gamble for your attention. It keeps the good stuff in one place, tells you the gist, and then gets out of your way.
Start with a 7-day free trial. After that, a Gisto subscription keeps your reading list — and your gist — going.
SUBSCRIPTION
• A subscription is required to keep using Gisto after the 7-day free trial.
• Billed monthly or annually to your Apple Account at the price shown in the app.
