Roam Highlighter: Web Highlighter for Roam Research
Roam Highlighter is a Chrome extension designed to make web highlighting and note-taking a breeze. Developed by Daniel Wirtz, this free tool is perfect for researchers, knowledge enthusiasts, and anyone looking to save their favorite blog articles.
With Roam Highlighter, you can easily highlight any text on a web page and import it to note-taking apps like Roam Research, Obsidian, Logseq, or Notion. This flexibility allows you to tailor the format of your copied highlights to suit your workflow. You can even add tags to bring your highlights into context, making organization a breeze.
To maximize efficiency, the extension can be launched quickly using a customizable hotkey. Simply set your preferred hotkey in the Chrome Settings for Extensions. Additionally, you can create your own highlight format by accessing the widget settings. Experiment with placeholders and utilize spaces to indent content for optimal customization.
Despite the requested permissions, Roam Highlighter operates locally on your machine, ensuring your data remains secure. The only information saved are the settings you customize, providing peace of mind.
