Chrome extension capture

Updated Jul 21, 2026

Grab text, images, and links from the web into notes, boards, or mind maps without breaking your reading flow.

Clip while you browse

Research and reading produce fragments. The Browser Notes Chrome extension sends selected content into your local notes workspace so capture stays close to the page you are on.

Choose a destination: new or last note, sticky board, or mind map. Open the side panel when you want the capture UI to stay available across tabs.

Install from the Chrome Web Store, then keep using the same local-first app — the extension is a capture pipe, not a second cloud.

Try it in Browser Notes

Free, local-first — no account required.
