Workspace Tools

Productivity suite: screen capture, recording, markdown editor, AI chat & offline notebook — in a native side panel.

Workspace Tools is a privacy-first, offline-capable productivity extension built into Chrome's native Side Panel. No accounts. No cloud uploads. Everything runs locally on your device. ──────────────────────────────────────── SCREEN CAPTURE ──────────────────────────────────────── Instantly capture your active tab with a single click, or select a custom region using the interactive crop tool. All screenshots are processed locally — nothing leaves your browser. • Full-tab screenshot via Chrome's native API • Custom region selection with drag-to-crop overlay • Download as PNG with optional custom filename prefix ──────────────────────────────────────── SCREEN RECORDER ──────────────────────────────────────── Record your screen, browser tab, microphone, and system audio simultaneously. A draggable webcam bubble can be overlaid on the page during recording for a professional look. • Record full screen, window, or individual tab • Toggle microphone, system audio, and webcam independently • Pause and resume recording at any time • Download recording as WebM video • All processing happens locally — no uploads, no servers ──────────────────────────────────────── MARKDOWN EDITOR ──────────────────────────────────────── A split-pane markdown editor with live preview. Write on the left, see rendered output on the right. Supports full GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) including tables, code blocks, and task lists. • Live side-by-side preview • Import .md files from your local filesystem • Export your document as a .md file • Syntax highlighting in code blocks ──────────────────────────────────────── AI ASSISTANT ──────────────────────────────────────── A built-in AI chat powered by the Google Gemini API. Bring your own API key — your key is stored locally on your device and never shared. Paste images directly into the chat for multimodal conversations. • Supports multiple Gemini models (Flash, Pro, and more) • Paste or drag images directly into the chat input • Full markdown rendering in AI responses • Chat history is saved locally and can be cleared anytime • Configurable via the Settings panel ──────────────────────────────────────── NOTEBOOK ──────────────────────────────────────── A persistent, offline-first note-taking tool. Create and organize multiple notes with full markdown support. Notes are stored in your browser's local IndexedDB — they survive browser restarts and are never synced to any server. • Create unlimited notes with custom titles • Full markdown editing with live preview • Notes persist across sessions via local IndexedDB • Delete individual notes at any time ──────────────────────────────────────── SETTINGS ──────────────────────────────────────── Configure the extension to match your workflow. Set a default download file prefix, choose your preferred Gemini model, and manage your API key — all from one place. ──────────────────────────────────────── PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS ──────────────────────────────────────── Workspace Tools is designed with privacy as a core principle: • No account or sign-up required • No data is sent to any external server (except Gemini API calls, which use only your own API key) • All notes, screenshots, and recordings stay on your device • Permissions requested are minimal and purposeful: - "activeTab" — to capture a screenshot of the current tab - "tabs" — to send messages to the content script for camera overlay and sidebar coordination - "sidePanel" — to display the UI in Chrome's native Side Panel ──────────────────────────────────────── DESIGNED FOR DEVELOPERS & POWER USERS ──────────────────────────────────────── Whether you're documenting a bug, recording a demo, jotting down ideas, or asking an AI a quick question — Workspace Tools puts everything you need in one place, always one click away in your side panel.
