Read what happens in the film
A week of saved videos piles up until it covers the screen: twelve videos, 9 h 44 m of watching. Life doesn’t have a watch later.
In a Slack channel, Alex types “@Sumbly what have I missed this week?”
Sumbly replies: “Here’s your week, Alex. 12 new videos from 5 creators you follow.” Each one becomes a short summary of its key ideas: 52 minutes of reading instead of almost ten hours of watching.
Just ask. In any channel. Key ideas, in minutes. Always linked to the original.
Hours of content. Minutes of insight. Sumbly. More time for what matters.

Everything below describes Sumbly as it will ship.
What is Sumbly?
Sumbly is an iPhone app that turns long videos from the creators you follow into short, readable summaries of the key ideas. The original video remains the source of truth.
When will Sumbly be available?
Sumbly is in prelaunch. A release date has not been announced yet. This page will be updated when App Store availability is confirmed.
What is free, and what do Premium and Premium+ add?
Free gives you Sumbly’s picks: a few summaries we choose every week, new ones every Monday. Premium is your own pile: follow anyone you learn from and get 50 summaries a month, for videos up to three hours, for $9.99 a month. Premium+ is the same with 150 summaries a month, for $19.99.
How does the pile work?
With Premium, new videos from the creators you follow gather in one pile each week. Sort it in a minute: swipe right to read a video, left to let it go. Each summary you keep uses one of your monthly summaries (50 on Premium, 150 on Premium+), and videos you don’t sort leave the pile after about a week.
Do I need to paste links?
No. You find creators by searching inside Sumbly and follow them once; their new videos come to you.
Can every video be summarised?
No. Sumbly summarises videos up to three hours long that have a usable transcript. A summary can be unavailable or incomplete for livestreams, videos without a transcript, or content that cannot be processed reliably.
Which languages does Sumbly support?
Sumbly works with videos in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Polish, and writes each summary in the language of the original.
Can I return to the original video?
Yes. Every summary links directly to the original video, so you can verify details or enjoy the full conversation.
Will Sumbly work with Slack?
Yes, it’s coming soon. Mention @Sumbly in any Slack channel and ask what you’ve missed: it replies with short summaries of new videos from the creators you follow, each linked to the original.
