Highlight GPT text, hit Save. It's a file on your computer.

A tiny Chrome extension that saves the AI chats you actually care about. Highlight text on Claude or ChatGPT, hit Save, get a local Markdown file. No cloud, no accounts, no dialogs.
Saving highlights as Markdown is clever, but adding a keyboard shortcut for the save action would make it way smoother when you're mid-conversation. Right now reaching for the extension popup breaks the flow.
Hi there @selukrazydyz That already exists! Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on Mac) saves the current selection instantly, no need to reach for the popup at all. Sounds like it's not visible/discoverable enough right now though, since you didn't spot it. That's very useful feedback on its own. I'll look at surfacing it better. Thanks for flagging it either way.
A folder structure with nested folders and tags would be a great addition since once you save a lot of snippets it gets hard to find things. Maybe let us right click the extension icon to create a new folder on the fly before saving.
@kranur594186 Really fair point, and it's the one thing I've gone back and forth on the most. Right now it's deliberately flat with no folders/tags at save time. The idea being that any extra decision (which folder? which tags?) is a kind of friction that makes you less likely to hit save in the moment, especially for something you found mid-conversation.
But you're right that stops scaling once you've got a few hundred files. I honestly think organizing should probably happen after the fact, not at save time. So the capture stays instant but you're not stuck with a flat pile forever.
Open to ideas on what that looks like. Mind opening an issue on the repo so I don't lose this?
A small ask from someone who lives in Obsidian: please add a configurable save folder and let the Markdown include YAML frontmatter with the source URL, model name, and date. That way it drops straight into my vault and links nicely between notes.
Hi @yamur9372291199 This is basically already how it works. I am very happy to say that every save gets a configurable folder (Extension options → rename the subfolder) and YAML frontmatter with source, date, time, title, and a text preview, so it should drop into a vault cleanly.
One small gap is that it currently records the site that it came from (claude.ai vs chatgpt.com), not the specific model version. So, Claude 3 vs 4, GPT-4o vs o1, etc. That's a genuinely good ask and I hadn't thought about the vault-linking angle specifically.
Would love it if you tried it against your actual vault and told me what's missing once you have real files in there. That's more useful than me guessing.
