How do I capture selected text from a webpage?
Highlight the useful sentence, send it in, and keep browsing. The Tiny Inbox extension handles capture without making you switch tabs or rebuild the thought by hand.
Short answer
Capture now. Decide later.
Install the Tiny Inbox extension for Chrome or Firefox and connect it to your account. Select text on any webpage, right-click, and choose “Send to Tiny Inbox.” Alt+Shift+T captures the current selection with the keyboard.
The browser extension is included on Free. Its connection is limited to capture and reading Today; it does not receive a general-purpose API token.
