Core features · FEATURES

One extension, two abilities

CLIP · Clipping
Clip instantly with right-click

Select anything on a web page and extract it as standard Markdown with one click — banners, pop-ups and ads automatically stripped. Cleaner than copy-paste, more structured than a bookmark.

CARD · Flashcard
Make cards by selecting text

Select a keyword or concept and auto-generate a two-sided memory card. No copy-paste, no switching apps — select to create a card.

PRIVACY
No sign-in · nothing uploaded

No account, no cloud upload, no tracking. Clipping and card-making all happen locally in your browser — content lives only in your IndexedDB.

COMPATIBILITY
Full coverage across three platforms

Published on Chrome / Edge / Firefox — the same extension, the same data.

WORKFLOW
Switch between two modes

The right-click menu toggles between note mode and card mode, so one extension serves both products.

What's new · v1.0

Renamed, reworked, and ready for 1.0

This release turns the extension into a complete capture-to-review loop: new branding, redesigned card mode, screenshot OCR, smart blocks, and one-click sync with the Cnotely card system.

BRAND · New identity
Cnotely branding

Renamed to Cnotely with a fresh icon set rolled out across the toolbar, sidebar, floating button and store listing.

CARD · Redesigned card mode
Front/back tabs replace 3D flip

Edit both sides of a card side by side, then project it straight into the Cnotely review queue.

OCR · Screenshot recognition
Offline OCR with mixed CN/EN text

Drag to select any screen region — text is recognized offline with pre-processing tuned for Chinese–English mixed content.

SMART BLOCK · Structured capture
Pick elements, save as blocks

Point at page elements to capture content as clean, structured blocks — no more copy-paste cleanup.

SYNC · One-click projection
Notes to inbox, cards to review

Project anything to app.cnotely.com — notes land in the inbox, cards land in the spaced-repetition queue.

QUALITY · Polish & reliability
Multi-window delivery & i18n fixes

Single-consumer content delivery stops duplicated notes, plus fixed OCR progress and language switching.

Pairs with both products

The extension is the bridge. The editor and workstation are the destination.

The extension captures: clipping content from pages and making cards from selections. The note editor organizes; the memory card workstation reviews. Combined, they form your complete knowledge system.

Step 1 · Extension captures
Right-click clip → Markdown / select → card
Step 2 · Editor organizes
Realtime Markdown editing, export in multiple formats
Step 3 · Workstation reviews
The SM-2 algorithm schedules your review cadence
Frequently Asked

Still have questions?

Here are the most common ones. If yours isn’t listed, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.

Q01

Do I really not need an account?

That is correct. Cnotely stores everything in your browser’s IndexedDB. No servers, no sign-in, no upload of any kind.

Q02

Can I lose my data?

Since everything lives in your browser, clearing browser data, switching devices, or uninstalling extensions will delete it. We recommend regular exports as backups.

Q03

What export formats are supported?

The Note Platform supports PDF / DOCX / HTML / Markdown. EPUB and bundled PDF exports are planned.

Q04

What algorithm powers the memory cards?

We use an SM-2 based spaced-repetition algorithm — the same family as Anki. Each card’s interval adjusts dynamically based on your feedback, surfacing right before you’d forget it.

Q05

Do I have to use both products together?

Not at all. The Note Platform is fully independent; so is creating cards manually. But together, you get the full clip-to-review experience.

Q06

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge and Firefox all have extensions; the Web App runs in any modern browser.

Q07

Where is the source code?

The full source lives on GitHub — build it, audit it, fork it. See the repo root for instructions.
