Recap is an open-source browser extension for summarising sections of any webpage through ChatGPT.
Its purpose is making large volumes of web content manageable, returning precise and concise summaries rather than asking you to read everything at full length.
The control it offers is what separates it from a whole-page summariser: you choose exactly which sections of text get summarised, so a long article can be condensed where it matters and left alone where it does not.
It runs on ChatGPT, which produces summaries that keep the substance of the original while being materially shorter.
One practical requirement is worth knowing before installing: the extension needs a ChatGPT account to operate. Recap itself is free and open source.
