A local-first Chrome tool that captures citations, source passages, and provenance whenever you copy from the web.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The advertised workflow attaches provenance at the moment of copying: Trace records the exact passage, citation, source context, and capture time in a ledger, then carries attribution into common writing tools. The page also describes project-based filing, four citation styles, rich-text bibliography formatting, and a one-click check that compares saved quotations with the live page. It says the architecture is local-first, with captures remaining on the user's device.
