Gloss — Your web, annotated & shared. ავტორი MrPython

Gloss is a personal knowledge layer for the internet. Highlight passages, attach sticky notes, drop bookmarks, and draw shapes directly on any webpage, then come back later and pick up exactly where you left off.

Unlike a folder of bookmarks, Gloss anchors every annotation to the actual content on the page. Highlights stay glued to the text they mark, notes stay pinned where you wrote them, and everything is saved automatically.

Annotate any page
- Highlight text in any color and add comments
- Sticky notes, text boxes, and bookmarks
- Emoji and icon stickers for visual organization
- Draw rectangles, circles, arrows, lines, and freehand
- Paste images onto pages and capture screenshots to your clipboard

Share your screen live
- Serverless WebRTC screen sharing — no accounts, no servers, no uploads
- Exchange a copy-paste connection key for a direct, encrypted peer-to-peer link
- Share your screen as the host, or watch live in a dedicated viewer tab
- The stream goes straight between the two of you and never touches a server

Review and organize from your dashboard
- Every page you have annotated, browsable and searchable
- Full-text search across quotes, notes, and comments

Privacy
Your annotations are stored locally on your device. Gloss does not track you and never sells your data. The only network requests are for bookmark icons and, if you choose to upgrade, license activation through Freemius. Live screen sharing connects you directly to the viewer (peer-to-peer) — your screen never passes through a server, and capture only starts when you confirm the browser's screen picker.
