SourceShelf — Research Clips by Sneg

📚 Your research, saved & citable — in one click.

SourceShelf keeps the quotes you find while reading, together with the exact page they came from. Highlight a passage, save it, and write later with the citation already in hand.

Everything stays in your browser. No account. No sync server. No telemetry. Ever.

⚡ SAVE ANY QUOTE IN ONE STEP
• Highlight text, then right-click → "Save selection to SourceShelf"
• Or hit the toolbar button to save the page as it stands
• Add a note about why the source matters, plus up to 12 labels
• The source page, title, and address are captured automatically

📁 CREATE A FOLDER IN SECONDS
• The popup's "Save to folder" menu has a "Create a new folder" link right below it — name it and it's ready for the very next save
• The library has a New folder button beside Rename and Delete
• Folders are unlimited (up to 500), and deleting one never deletes the quotes inside it — they move back to Inbox

🔍 FIND IT AGAIN, FAST
• Search across quotes, page titles, notes, labels, and source addresses
• Filter by folder; switch between a card and a compact list layout
• Full JSON backup and restore, whenever you want one

✍ CITE IT WITHOUT BREAKING FLOW
• Copy a formatted citation for any saved quote
• Export a Markdown brief or a CSV table of everything you filtered to
• Pasting into an essay, a report, or a spreadsheet is one click

🎨 MAKE IT YOURS
• Theme: match your system, or force light or dark
• Accent color: eight presets or any custom color
• Density, text size, and card-vs-list layout
• The dark, compact, large-text look in our screenshots is a real setting you can pick

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Saved quotes, folders, and preferences live in Chrome's local extension storage, for this profile only
• Nothing is uploaded, synchronized, or shared
• No analytics, no accounts, no ads, no "sign in to continue"

🆓 COMPLETELY FREE
Every feature is free with no limits and no paid tier. The only caps are storage sanity guards: 100,000 quotes and 500 folders per library, and 8 MiB per backup file.

Perfect for
Students writing papers · researchers building a literature base · journalists collecting sources · writers gathering references · analysts who need receipts · anyone who has ever thought "I know I read that somewhere."
