Overview
Highlight text on any webpage, pin it in place, and make quote cards. Marks return on revisit. Export Markdown. 100% local.
Looking for a web highlighter? Select text on a webpage, pause, and pin it so the highlight stays on the original words. Come back to the same URL and your marks restore in place. Turn any highlight into a share-ready quote card — then keep reading. HoverNotes is a lightweight web annotation tool: in-page pins, not only a side list. No account. Nothing uploaded. What you get • Hover to pin: select a passage, wait about a second, tap Pin — keep your reading flow. • Persistent web highlighter: reopen the page and highlights return on the original text. • Quote cards: one tap turns a highlight into a polished card (multiple aspect ratios); copy image or text to share. • Side panel notes library: this page / all notes, tags, domain filters; export Markdown, plain text, or JSON; import JSON backups. • Local only: data stays in this browser. No server. No sign-in. Who it is for • Deep reading, research, and collecting sources • Personal quote libraries and web annotation • Anyone who wants a simple highlighter without accounts or uploads How it works 1.
