Curiosity breaks focus
You're in the middle of work. You see something interesting. You either derail yourself or ignore it. Neither feels right. Defer is for "not now".
Instant Capture
Send text to Defer with one global shortcut. No tabs, no notes, no manual organization.
AI Explanation
Defer processes everything in the background and prepares a short explanation or summary for later.
Daily Digest
Get a short email digest of prepared insights. Close the loop without accumulating more tabs.
macOS Native
A lightweight menu bar utility built for Mac users who value flow and zero interruption.
Stay in flow. Defer handles it later.
Defer exists so you don't have to think about it. Capture context instantly, then do the thinking later.
How it works
Highlight text
Found something interesting? Highlight it and press your global shortcut.
Defer captures silently
The menu bar app grabs the text and context without breaking your flow.
AI prepares explanation
Our pipeline classifies and processes the capture in the background.
Get a short digest
Review prepared insights asynchronously via email or the web app.
You never left your flow
The entire capture took less than a second. No context switching, no tab explosion, no guilt.
Your deep work stays deep.
What it's good for
- Understanding unfamiliar libraries
- Summarising articles or threads
- Capturing ideas without breaking focus
- Reducing tab hoarding anxiety
What it's not
- A bookmark manager
- A second brain
- A place to manage content
Summaries that adapt to you
Set your preferences for how you want content summarised. Code snippets, articles, threads—each gets treated differently. Give feedback on outputs and the AI learns your style.
It learns how you read.
