LocalScholar

About

LocalScholar is a Chrome extension that helps you study smarter using AI that runs entirely on your computer. Right-click on any webpage to:
- Summarize articles or selected text in different styles (quick TL;DR, key points, headlines)
- Generate flashcards with multiple-choice questions to test yourself
- Build reports by collecting content from multiple pages and synthesizing them into one coherent document with citations
- Translate text into 10+ languages
- Proofread your writing for grammar and spelling mistakes
- Rewrite text with different tones (more formal, more casual) or lengths
Everything appears in draggable overlays or the popup, so you never leave the page you are studying. The extension saves your flashcard decks and reports locally, and you can customize settings like difficulty level, summary length, output language and more. If text is selected, actions operate on selection; otherwise on full page (for Summarize, Flashcards, Add to Queue).
