TextLoom

A Chrome extension that captures text selections from any webpage into your personal library. No copy-paste, no clipboard, no accounts.

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Q once to arm capture
2. Read normally — select text on any page, it saves silently
3. Open the sidebar to organize, tag, export

No copy-paste. No interrupt. Your selections persist across restarts.

• Passive capture: text selections auto-save via mouseup after arming
• Right-click capture: select text → right-click → Capture to Folder (no arming needed)
• Collections (folders): color-coded groups, create/edit/delete with hover-reveal actions
• Tags: inline tagging system, filter by tag, add/remove from individual or multi-selected items
• Full-text search: search across text content and source URLs
• Keyboard navigation: j/k to navigate, s to star, / to search, e to export, d to delete
• Text Fragment links: double-click a selection to open the source page scrolled to the captured text
• Export: Plain Text, JSON, CSV, Markdown (individual items or filtered views)
• Dark/light theme: toggle persisted in localStorage
• Statistics: total selections, starred, folders, tags, unique sources
• Onboarding: first-run guide for new users

Manifest V3 Chrome extension. No frameworks, no build step, no server, no AI.
