Apogee

What is Apogee?

Apogee is a browser extension that summarizes web pages, videos, PDFs, DOCX files, and pasted text using artificial intelligence. It runs entirely on your device without sending data to external servers. The tool was created as a privacy-focused alternative to discontinued projects like Mozilla Orbit.

The extension uses your computer hardware to run models locally. It supports WebGPU on Chromium browsers and falls back to WebAssembly on Firefox and other browsers. For users who prefer larger language models, Apogee can connect directly to a local Ollama instance or a self-hosted llama.cpp server over a local network connection.

Installation requires no account creation or API keys. Users select a summary format and generate results directly from the extension popup. Cached models remain available after the first download, allowing offline use. The project is released under the MIT license and welcomes community contributions.
