Memolight by memolight

Memolight is a Chrome extension for keeping personal context about usernames, authors, and text you encounter on the web.

On built-in supported sites, Memolight shows markers next to detected usernames and authors. On other domains, text markers work only after you explicitly add the domain and grant access. You can also select text on a page and save it as a phrase memo from Chrome’s context menu.

Click a marker to save a note, short label, and color. Hover over a saved marker to quickly preview its content. For newly created memos, Memolight also stores a sanitized source URL, page title, and short surrounding text snippet so you can understand the original context and reopen the source later.

On the management page, you can search, filter, sort, edit, and delete saved notes, view their source context, export readable CSV files, and export or import encrypted backups.

- Context menus: Saves text selected by the user as a phrase memo after an explicit context-menu action.
