Save with the browser extension

The Indelible extension saves the page you’re on, full content and any text you select as a highlight, straight to your library. It works in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

The extension isn’t in the web stores yet. For now, build it from source and load it unpacked:

Terminal window
cd extension
npm install
npm run build # Chrome/Edge: output in .output/chrome-mv3
npm run build:firefox # Firefox: output in .output/firefox-mv3
  • Chrome / Edge: open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, choose “Load unpacked”, and select the build output folder.
  • Firefox: open about:debugging → This Firefox → “Load Temporary Add-on” and select the built manifest.
  1. Click the Indelible icon in the toolbar. It opens your instance’s authorization page (/extension/auth).
  2. Sign in and approve. The extension uses a PKCE OAuth flow and stores its token locally; your password never touches the extension.

If you self-host, point the extension at your own instance URL in its settings before connecting.

  • Click the toolbar icon, or press Alt+Shift+S, to save the current page.
  • Right-click → Save to Indelible does the same from the context menu.
  • Select text first, then right-click → Save highlight to Indelible to capture that passage as a highlight.

After saving, an inline toolbar lets you add tags and notes without leaving the page.
