Mark It Down

"AI answered. You rewrote. Now it's yours."

A browsing workbench for the LLM era — your notes and your reading, connected.

Chrome Extension Local-first No Account Free

The Problem

Something is broken in your workflow.

Copy-paste chaos

AI output loses formatting in plain text editors. Minutes reformatting what took seconds to generate.

No place to digest

Web clippers store content. But storage isn't understanding. You need a place to rewrite.

Heavy tools

Desktop editors bloat with plugins. Slow startup. Tab-switching every time you want to take a note.

The real problem
"I found myself manually reformatting AI output every single time."

The Solution

A middle ground between AI and your thinking.

Tip
Don't throw raw content at AI. Digest it first. Mark It Down is the workbench in between.
Quick edits in Side Panel. Deep focus in New Tab.

Features

The right things. Done well.

WYSIWYG Editor core

Slash commands, command palette. Write Markdown without knowing a single syntax rule.

Side Panel unique

Lives beside your browser tab. Edit while you browse. No switching. No losing your place.

Web Clipper AI-aware

Right-click any page or AI chat. Tables, math, diagrams — clean Markdown, automatically.

Git Sync optional

Intentional commits. Plain text. Full history. Your notes outlive any app.

RSS Reader new

Feeds, articles, and outline together in a full-screen reading space. Tag as you go.

Repository Reader new

Open any GitHub repo's Markdown right in the browser — search it, follow links.

Who It's For

You've felt this friction before.

Frustrated with heavy editors

Tired of slow startup and plugin bloat. You want something that opens in an instant — not after a loading screen.

Drowning in AI output

AI gives great answers. But you copy-paste and forget. You need a place to make the answer yours — before it disappears.

Write while browsing

Research and writing happen in the browser. Why leave it every time you want to take a note?

Plain text believers

Markdown + Git. Future-proof. No vendor lock-in. Your notes should outlive any app — and they will.

What Makes It Different

The only tool that lives in your browser AND syncs with Git.

The combination is the product
No other tool combines all four: Chrome Extension + Side Panel + Web Clipper + Git Sync. All free. No account required.

Origin Story

We built it because we needed it.

Why a Chrome extension?
Desktop editors got slow. Tab management got painful. We needed a workbench that lives where the work already happens — in the browser.

Your Notes, Your Rules

Local-first. Git-backed. Yours forever.

Local-first

All data in Chrome's local storage. No server. No account. Opens instantly. Works offline. Nothing leaves your machine.

Git Sync

Connect your GitHub or GitLab repo. Commit when you decide. Full history. Plain text forever.

Promise
Your notes are plain Markdown files. Read them in any editor, 10 years from now.

Design Philosophy

Complexity is the enemy.

Zero Config

Install and start writing. No setup wizard. No account creation.

Plain Text Integrity

WYSIWYG display, but saves pure Markdown. The source stays clean.

Intentional Commits

Not auto-sync. You choose when to commit. History preserved.

Lightweight Workbench

A temporary workspace. Only what you need — nothing you don't.

Capture First. Classify Later.

Clips, RSS, imports all go to Inbox. Sort it out after you've written.
