AnnHub — Clip and Screenshot Library

Save clips and screenshots with their source into one local library; read, highlight, tag and export as Markdown. Local-first.

Saving a page is easy. Finding it again — and remembering where it came from — is the hard part. AnnHub keeps the web pages worth keeping in one local library: every clip and screenshot carries its source, its tags and its own notes. When you need to take what you read somewhere else, download the page — or the clip — as a Markdown folder, media included. And when you need to explain a screen rather than keep it, draw on the live page or record the tab. CLIP WHAT YOU READ - Select any passage and clip it in one click — no dialog, no form. A quiet toast lets you undo or edit the title, tags and note. - Point at a whole block — a post, an article, a code block, a table — and clip it whole, saved as clean Markdown with links and headings. SCREENSHOT WHAT YOU SEE - Drag a region or click an element; resize with handles or arrow keys, lock common aspect ratios. - Scrolling capture stitches a long article into one tall image: sticky headers appear once, Esc cancels. - Annotate in place: arrows, lines, boxes, freehand, a translucent highlighter, numbered steps, text and mosaic, with three line widths. Blur avatars, names and handles to keep people out of the shot. - Add a text or image watermark, and a touch of padding, background and rounded corners for sharing. Copy as PNG, or download as PNG/JPEG/WebP. ANNOTATE THE LIVE PAGE - Draw straight on the current tab: pen, highlighter, lines, arrows, boxes, ellipses, text and numbered steps, in five colors. The toolbar sits on the window edge, and the page stays clickable until you pick a tool. - Ink moves with the page as you scroll. Optional auto-erase makes each stroke disappear after 3 or 8 seconds — handy when you talk someone through a screen. - One click sends the ink into the screenshot editor. Exit, and it is all gone: nothing is saved, and the page itself is never changed. RECORD THE TAB - Record the current tab as a video, with the tab's sound and — if you tick "With microphone" — your voice. - Keep annotating while you record, and turn on the cursor highlight in settings so viewers can follow your pointer and every click. The toolbar stays out of the picture; single keys switch tools. - When you stop, the recording is saved as a WebM file in the AnnHub folder of your Downloads (a recording ends by itself at 15 minutes or about 500 MB). It never leaves your device and never lands in your library. DOWNLOAD A PAGE, FOLDER AND ALL - One click in the toolbar popup ("Download this page") saves the current article as a Markdown folder in Downloads/AnnHub. A block's capsule has its own Download, and the download command can be given a key in the browser's shortcut settings. - Images and direct-link video and audio are fetched from the page's own addresses and saved next to the Markdown, so the folder reads offline; the Markdown keeps the article's links, headings, tables and code. - From the library, download one clip or screenshot from its header, or select a batch in any list and choose folder or ZIP. Properties become frontmatter and highlights stay in the text. - Downloads are files, not entries: nothing is added to the library and nothing is uploaded. A progress bar lets you cancel, a partial download lists the media it could not save, and a failed one keeps your selection for a retry. READ AND HIGHLIGHT — IN THE LIBRARY Highlights happen where you reread, not on the live page: open a clip in the reading view, mark it up in five colors, attach notes, and jump back to the source page anytime. The original web page is never modified. ORGANIZE AND FIND IT AGAIN - Typed properties (text, list, number, date, checkbox) and tags on every entry; define your own, clip-type presets attach them automatically. - Search and filter by type, source, tag, time or property; every view keeps its state in the URL. TAKE YOUR DATA WITH YOU - Download a page or any selection of the library as a self-contained Markdown folder — media included, ready for Obsidian or any tool that reads Markdown. - One command exports the whole library as a ZIP: one Markdown file per entry with properties as frontmatter, highlights as ==marked text==, plus the original images. LOCAL-FIRST, BY DESIGN - No account, no cloud, no AI. Entries, images and settings stay in your browser. - Capture, annotate, record, download, read, search and export all work offline. The extension's only outbound requests are fetching an image the page itself references when you screenshot it, and the media a download asks for — both only after your click, without credentials. - A recording starts only when you start it, from the toolbar popup or a shortcut you set. The microphone stays off unless you tick it. KEYBOARD Ctrl/⌘+Shift+S — screenshot · Ctrl/⌘+Shift+E — pick a whole block · H — highlight the selection while reading Page annotation, tab recording and "download page body" have no default keys: assign yours at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Chrome 116+ on desktop. English and Chinese interfaces follow your browser language. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.2 AnnHub 2.2 turns what you read into files you can take anywhere. - Download a page: the toolbar popup saves the current article as a Markdown folder in Downloads/AnnHub; a block's capsule has its own Download, and the download command can be given a key in the browser's shortcut settings. - Download from the library: one clip or screenshot from its header, or a batch from any list — folder or ZIP, properties as frontmatter, highlights kept in the text. - Media comes along: images and direct-link video and audio are fetched from the page's own addresses, only when you ask, and saved next to the Markdown so the folder reads offline. - Progress you can stop: a progress bar with cancel; a partial download lists what was not saved, and a failed one keeps your selection for a retry. - Smaller things: the block capsule now has a Download button, and Chrome's shortcut settings list the download command if you want a key for it. Downloads never become entries: the files stay in Downloads, the library is not touched, and nothing leaves your device.
