Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

Apogee is a browser extension that summarizes articles, videos, PDFs, DOCX files, and text entirely on-device using WebGPU, WebAssembly, or local Ollama/llama.cpp servers. It prioritizes privacy by avoiding any cloud APIs, offering features like grounded highlighting, multi-language translation, and smart retrieval for Q&A. Inspired by Mozilla's discontinued Orbit project, it improves on it by being fully local and private.

Target audience: general users, privacy-conscious individuals, developers interested in local AI
