This Safari extension lets you highlight text on web pages using your device’s built-in color picker, making it easy to mark important information as you browse. Highlights are reliably saved and restored when you reload a page or return to it later, so your notes remain available over time. When reading long pages with lots of scrolling, you can open a list of saved highlights and automatically scroll directly to their positions on the page, helping you review key sections quickly and comfortably. Ideal for people who read and reference web content regularly, including students creating study notes, researchers tracking sources across long pages, educators preparing materials, and presenters who need to locate key points quickly. It fits naturally into workflows where the web is used as a working space, keeping highlights in place and bringing you back to them when you need them.
