Overview

Criticly is a privacy-first AI companion for critical thinking, designed to help you analyze, question, and refine ideas instantly. Available as a lightweight Mac and Windows app, Criticly lets you select any text, from emails, research papers, Slack messages, or web pages, and get structured insights, critiques, and clarifying questions in seconds.

The tool transforms how you engage with information by distilling complexity into clarity. With 8 built-in AI tools, including Distill, Evaluate, Question, Counter, Expand, Summary, Explain, and Quiz, Criticly turns passive reading into active reasoning. It helps you extract logic, spot bias, test comprehension, and explore opposing viewpoints, all without leaving your workflow.

Unlike most AI productivity tools, Criticly is fully privacy-focused, it never stores your text, uses local execution where possible, and supports custom AI model integrations like GPT, Claude, and Gemini. Whether you’re writing, studying, or analyzing, Criticly makes your thought process sharper, faster, and more structured, a true “thinking assistant” for the modern mind.
