Highlight. Click. Understand.

PointDexter is a friendly study buddy that sits in the corner of every web page. Highlight any word, phrase, or paragraph. The buddy slides over and explains it in plain language with one click.

How it works: • Highlight text on any page and PointDexter glides to your selection • Click the buddy for a short, clear explanation • Tap "Nerd out" for a deeper dive with links and clickable terms • Hit "Search about it" to look it up on Google • Ask follow-up questions right in the bubble

Works everywhere: • Regular websites, articles, and research papers • PDFs (opens them in a readable viewer automatically) • Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides (copy and click to explain) • Any page, any text, any subject

Extra features: • "Ask about this page" to ask questions about the entire page or get a summary • "Explain copied text" to explain anything on your clipboard • Double Ctrl+C shortcut (opt-in) to copy twice fast and explain instantly • Two character skins to switch between PointDexter and SlickDexter • Math support with LaTeX equations rendered beautifully

Privacy first: • No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking • No ads, no analytics • Your text is sent only to generate an answer and is never stored • All settings stay local on your device • Full privacy policy included in the extension

Free tier: 15 explanations per day, resetting at midnight. Pro with higher limits is coming soon. Join the waitlist from within the extension.

Built for students, researchers, and the endlessly curious.
