About this extension
Transform your browser into a powerful research tool with HiNote, the ultimate extension for highlighting text, taking notes, and organizing your digital knowledge. Designed for students, researchers, and lifelong learners, HiNote makes it effortless to capture and recall important information from any webpage, all while putting your privacy first.

Capture knowledge with ease, forget copy-pasting into separate documents. With HiNote, you can simply select any text on a webpage to create a vibrant highlight. Attach your own notes to expand on your thoughts, and watch as your personal knowledge base grows with every article you read.

Key Features:

Seamless Highlighting: Highlight text on any website with a simple click and drag. Choose from a customizable color palette to organize your research visually.

Rich Note-Taking: Attach detailed notes to your highlights to capture your insights, questions, and connections.

Integrated Side Panel: View, search, and manage all your notes and highlights in a clean and intuitive interface, accessible directly from your browser's side panel.

100% Local and Private: All of your data—notes, highlights, and associated URLs—is stored locally on your own computer. We do not track you, and we never have access to your data.

Backup and Restore: You have full control. Easily export your entire library of notes for backup or migration to another device.

AI Integration (Optional): Securely connect your own API key for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic to unlock powerful features like one-click summarization and question-answering for your notes. Your key is stored locally and communicates directly with the provider.
