Five colours, your meaning
Key point, example, open question — decide what each colour means and stay consistent.
HighlighterChrome extensionThe sentence that disappears when you close the tab
Highlight it once,
find it where you left it.
You don't have to move the sentence into another app. Mark it on the page you were reading, add a note right there, and it comes back in the exact same spot on your next visit.
Being prepared for the Chrome Web Store. Email me and I'll send one note at launch, then delete your address.

The record stays anchored to the page and the sentence it came from.

How this is built
Your records are yours.
No sign-up. Your highlights are kept in this device's Chrome storage, and cross-device sync starts turned off. If you switch it on, they travel through your own Google account's Chrome sync — never through a server of mine, because there isn't one. Every asset the extension uses, fonts included, ships inside the package, so viewing a page makes no outbound request.
- Local first
- Sync is opt-in
- No ads, no tracking
Questions
Before you install
When can I install it?
It's being prepared for the Chrome Web Store. Once it's listed you'll be able to install it from this page. Use “Tell me when it ships” above and I'll send exactly one email at launch.
Is it free?
You can install it and start using it. If a paid item is ever added, it will be shown on the Web Store listing and inside the extension.
Where are my highlights stored?
By default, only in this device's Chrome storage, with cross-device sync switched off. Sync runs only if you turn on Chrome account sync in the settings, and even then it travels through Google's Chrome sync, not through me. There is no developer server. Details are in the privacy policy.
Why does it need access to all sites?
Because you should be able to highlight on any page and have it restored when you come back. Page content isn't read for transmission or storage — only the parts you highlight yourself are saved. Browsing history and search queries are not collected.
Does it work in Firefox or Safari?
Right now it runs in desktop Chrome.
Can I share highlights with a team?
There's no sharing feature. Your records stay on your device.
