Sidepad

About

Store Description:
Sidepad is a side panel companion for capturing and composing structured documents from AI conversations and webpages, saved locally as Markdown files, never uploaded.

How it works:

- Open Sidepad from the Chrome toolbar
- Highlight text on any webpage and press ⌘+Shift+S (or Ctrl+Shift+S) — or right-- click and select "Send to Sidepad"
- Your captures appear in the side panel, organized into a document
- Add headings, notes, and annotations to structure your document
- Save as .md files to a local folder on your computer

Key features:

• Capture text from LLM chats and pages across the web.

• Structured Markdown documents — organize captures with headings and notes. Every snippet links back to its source URL and platform.

• Local-first storage — documents are saved as standard .md files on your computer using the File System Access API. No cloud, no account, no sign-up.

• Keyboard-driven workflow — ⌘+Shift+S to capture, ⌘+Shift+P to open the panel. Fast enough to use mid-conversation.

• Source attribution — each capture automatically records where it came from, so you can always trace back to the original.

• Drag and drop — reorder captures, headings, and notes by dragging them into position.

• Works offline — everything runs locally in your browser. No server, no network requests, no external dependencies.

Who it's for:

Sidepad is built for researchers, writers, and anyone who works across multiple AI tools and webpages. If you find yourself copying and pasting between tabs, switching between docs, or losing track of useful responses — Sidepad keeps everything in one place, right in your browser's side panel.
