Why this extension exists

When useful context lives in tabs, it gets lost fast.

This extension lets you capture what matters while you are already on the page:

• Save the current URL directly into Streamient
• Write a markdown note alongside what you are browsing
• Save URL + note together and automatically link them
• Choose the target project so captured context lands in the right place
• Switch between accounts for Cloud, self-hosted, or multiple workspaces

What it does

• Current page capture — grabs the active tab URL and page title
• Markdown note editor — write quick notes inside the popup with formatting and preview
• Automatic linking — when you save both a URL and note, the extension links them in Streamient
• Multi-account support — configure multiple Streamient accounts and switch from the popup
• Cloud + self-hosted support — works with app.streamient.com or your own Streamient instance
• Project-aware capture — verify connection, load projects, and choose where new items are stored

How it works

1. Configure a Streamient account in the extension settings
2. Verify the connection with your personal access token
3. Pick the project that should receive captured items
4. On any page, open the popup and save the URL, a note, or both
5. If you save both, the extension creates both records and links them automatically

Supported browsers

• Chrome / Chromium-based browsers via Manifest V3 build
• Firefox via dedicated Firefox build
