CollectPaste

Collect text snippets while you research — a floating basket on every page. Copy them out together. 100% local, no account.

Stop juggling tabs, notes apps, and a clipboard that only remembers one thing. CollectPaste is a floating basket for text you find while reading. Select something worth keeping, click "+ Add" (or press Ctrl+Shift+S), and keep reading. Every snippet you collect — across any number of pages and tabs — waits in a small panel until you're ready to use it. When you're done, one click on "Copy all" hands you everything at once, ready to paste into your doc, email, or AI chat. WHY YOU'LL KEEP IT INSTALLED ✔ Collect from anywhere — works on any website, across all your tabs. Your basket follows you. ✔ One copy instead of twenty — no more bouncing back and forth between the article and your notes. Read now, paste once later. ✔ Stays out of your way — the panel shows just your latest snippets, collapses to a tiny pill (Ctrl+Shift+D), and can be dragged anywhere on the page. ✔ Every snippet remembers its source — see which site each quote came from, so you never lose track of where you read something. ✔ Forgiving by design — deleted something by accident? Undo. Cleared the whole basket? Undo that too. ✔ 100% private — everything lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no tracking, no data ever leaves your browser. The only permission it needs is local storage. PERFECT FOR • Students gathering quotes and sources for essays • Researchers and analysts pulling facts from many pages • Writers collecting references and inspiration • Anyone assembling context to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini • Online shoppers comparing specs, prices, and reviews HOW IT WORKS Select text on any page → click "+ Add" or press Ctrl+Shift+S Minimize/Maximize the panel -----> Press Ctrl+Shift+D Keep browsing — collect as much as you want from as many pages as you want Click "Copy all" → paste everything, anywhere Hit "Delete all" when you're done.
