The research problem
Loose snippets create expensive source checks later.
A copied line without its title, URL, domain, and capture date becomes hard to verify. FocusReader stores those details at the moment you save the selection, while the relationship between claim and source is still obvious.
The result is a compact local quote library you can review by domain or optional category, then export as Markdown.
A repeatable evidence loop
Read, capture, and move on without losing the trail.
Attach context at capture time
Save the selected wording together with title, URL, domain, timestamp, and an optional project category.
Export a portable record
Download clean Markdown for a local archive, note repository, or the next stage of your own research process.
Deliberately narrow
A source trail, not a citation manager.
FocusReader records the web context that helps you return to an exact passage. It does not generate bibliographies, synchronize a research team, or make claims about the credibility of a source.
- Exact selected text
- Page title
- Original URL
- Source domain
- Saved timestamp
- Optional category
Private working notes
The extension never measures what you read or save.
Quote text, page content, categories, and reader settings stay in Chrome storage. The public FocusReader website measures only aggregate site traffic; extension activity and saved quotes are not part of website analytics.
