Keeps the good parts of your AI chats. It sits on top of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini in the browser, lets you highlight answers and annotate them in the margin, then pulls the keepers into a document you can export.
Watch out · Needs an account. Storage is local by default and cloud sync is opt-in and encrypted (the site says AES-256-GCM), but sync still means the data leaves your machine. Every claim here is the product's own — we have not verified the encryption.
No subscription
What to know▼
How it works
Installs as a browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc) and adds highlighting and margin notes directly on the chat pages you already use. Selections collect into a "book" you can export as PDF, HTML, Markdown or PNG.
What's different
Covers three assistants rather than one — a thread can move between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Notes stay on the page where you made them instead of in a separate app you have to remember to open.
Pricing
Free tier: no credit card, no time limit. Pro is $89/year or $249 lifetime; the first 100 buyers get a $79 one-time Founder Lifetime.
Best for
People who use more than one AI assistant every day and keep losing good answers in the scroll-back — researchers, writers, and students who turn answers into flashcards.
Watch out
