Trace — Group Highlighter & Notes

About

Trace lets you highlight and annotate text on any web page, local HTML file, or localhost — and choose exactly what to share with your group.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything you highlight stays on your device unless you sign in with Google. No account needed to start using Trace.

SYNC ACROSS DEVICES
Sign in once and your highlights and notes follow you — restored automatically when you revisit a page.

SHARE WITH YOUR GROUP
Invite a small group (a book club, a study group, a research team) and see each other's highlights as a colored overlay on shared pages. Nothing is shared unless you explicitly choose to.

WHAT YOU GET
• 3 highlight colors + a separate note color
• Sidebar with all your notes for the current page
• Works on regular web pages, local HTML files (with permission), and localhost
• Group invite links with an install-free preview — see what's shared before you install

Your data is stored in the developer's Supabase project and is never sold or shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.
