  ScholarMark: Highlight, Annotate & Track Your Research
  
  ScholarMark is the annotation tool built for researchers and students who read seriously. Highlight any text on any webpage, add notes, and build a structured knowledge base, all without leaving your browser.
  
  ✦ Highlight with intent
  Four color-coded stances: Important, Disagree, Agree, Question, so every highlight carries meaning, not just color.
  
  ✦ Contextual annotation prompts
  ScholarMark detects what you're reading. On a research paper it suggests Claim, Method, Finding, Limitation. On a news article: Fact, Opinion, Source, Context. Your highlights are structured from the start.
  
  ✦ Outline Builder
  Drag your highlights into a structured outline with custom sections. Export as a clean Markdown document, ready for your paper, report, or notes app.
  
  ✦ Continue Reading
  Pick up exactly where you left off. ScholarMark remembers your scroll position on every article and offers a one-click jump back.
  
  ✦ Reading Time Tracking
  See how much time you actually spend reading across different sites, broken down by domain, updated in real time.
  
  ✦ Duplicate Detection
  If you've already highlighted something similar, ScholarMark warns you before you save, so your library stays clean.
  
  ✦ Collections
  Organize highlights into named projects: Thesis, ML Research, Work, and filter by collection in the dashboard.
  
  ✦ Powerful dashboard
  Search across all your highlights with live match highlighting. Filter by stance, source, collection, or time. View a reading heatmap, distribution chart, and sparkline stats.
  
  ✦ Export anywhere
  Export highlights as Markdown or CSV, per page or across your entire library.
  
  Works on any webpage: research papers, news articles, documentation, Wikipedia, PDFs opened in Chrome.
  
  No account required. All data stays on your device.
