What it does

The Researcher lets users attach notes directly to webpages and see them again whenever the same page is opened with the same browser profile.

Why it is useful

For research, study, and repeated reading workflows, context-specific notes reduce switching cost between documents and external apps.

Key capabilities

  • Add sticky notes on any webpage.
  • Store notes locally in the browser profile.
  • Restore notes automatically on revisit.
  • Translate text snippets while reading.

Scope note

This is a fun product experiment intended to explore practical browser-side utility rather than enterprise-scale distribution.
