Chrome extension that saves highlighted bits from papers and blogs to a local, offline-searchable index.
PaperClip is a small Chrome extension for keeping what you read. Select text on a research paper, a PDF, a blog post or a news page, right-click Memorize, and the passage plus its source is saved; later you search inside the extension to find it again. The distinguishing choice is that nothing leaves the machine - the listing states saved bits are stored and indexed locally with no data sent to any server, it works offline, and one click deletes everything. The footprint is tiny: the site's own example shows 24 saved items using 0.12 MB. It is built by Hugo Duprez, an independent developer, is free, and the Chrome Web Store listing shows 675 users, a Featured badge and a clean publisher record.
Free, with no paid tier, account or subscription offered on the site or the Chrome Web Store listing.
Use tool ↗PaperClip does one thing: highlight, right-click, and it is saved with its source, searchable later. It is local-first by design - no account, no server, works offline - which is the whole reason to pick it over a cloud read-later app. It is also a one-person side project with 675 users, so treat it as a convenience rather than a system of record.
Watch out: Because nothing leaves the browser profile, clearing extension data or moving to a new machine takes the entire library with it.
