highlight2comment

Select text on the web, add a comment, save locally, and export Markdown.

You know that moment when a whole article comes down to one sentence that actually speaks to you? The old routine: copy it, switch to your notes app, paste it, type a thought, and then honestly, forget where it went. highlight2comment does one thing. Select the sentence, add a quick comment if you want, hit Enter. Saved. The idea gets captured the second it shows up, and you never left the page. Everything lands in one Markdown log, numbered, with sources tucked into footnotes. Download it in one click, or let it write straight into your Obsidian vault. Feeding your reading notes to an AI? It's one file. Just drop it in. Free. Open source. No account, no cloud, zero network requests. Your notes live on your machine and nowhere else. One more thing: some sites block copy and paste. Selecting and commenting still works there.
