Questions about Summarize
Does Summarize upload my files?
No. Summarize runs entirely on your Mac, so your files never leave it and it works offline.
Will Summarize change my original files?
No. Results are saved as new files in a dated folder in Downloads › OneMacTools, and your originals are left exactly as they were unless you turn on an option that says otherwise.
Does Summarize need Apple Intelligence?
It uses Apple Intelligence's on-device model when it's turned on, for the best results. When it's off, OneMacTools falls back to on-device text recognition and rules, and tells you.
