Glasp is a social reading network that happens to be a\n  great highlighter. Web Highlights is a personal library that happens to let you share. Neither is wrong, but you\n  should know which one you’re signing up for.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  You also don’t need an account to start.

There’s no Web Highlights AI server, so\n  your pages never leave your computer for it.\n\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n  The honest catch: on-device AI needs a desktop browser that ships the model. Chrome works on Windows, macOS and\n  Linux; Edge only on Windows and macOS. It doesn’t run on phones, and the free plan has a daily allowance (one\n  summary, one new chat and one generated deck per day).
