  Excerpt.pro is a local-first web clipper for saving selected text from webpages.
  
  Instead of bookmarking full pages or copying text into another note app, you can save only the useful parts of a page into a searchable local library. Find your saved web highlights later, keep the original source, and export clean PDFs when you need to share or archive them.
  
  What you can do:
  
  - Save selected text from webpages
  - Create a searchable library of web highlights
  - Store clips locally in your browser
  - Search saved notes later
  - Keep source URLs and page context
  - Export saved content as clean PDFs
  - Save useful parts of articles, documents, research pages, and AI conversations
  
  Why Excerpt.pro?
  
  Bookmarks save links, not the exact text you cared about.
  Full-page PDF tools often save too much noise.
  Copying into note apps interrupts your reading flow.
  
  Excerpt.pro helps you build a local collection of useful web excerpts that you can actually find again later.
  
  Local-first by default
  
  Your saved clips stay in your browser by default. No account is required for local saving. Use Excerpt.pro as a private web clipper, highlight saver, and searchable note library for the content you collect while browsing.
  
  Use Excerpt.pro for:
  
  - Research notes
  - Article highlights
  - Learning materials
  - Writing references
  - Product research
  - Useful parts of AI conversations
  - Any web text you want to save and search later
  
  PDF export is available when you need it, but the main value is not turning pages into PDFs. The main value is saving useful web content into a searchable local library.
