Install the Catch Gist browser extension

Install locally in three steps

The extension is currently loaded through local developer mode. You do not need to open the Chrome Web Store.

1. Enter chrome://extensions in the Chrome address bar and turn on Developer mode in the top-right corner.
2. Click Load unpacked and select the extensions/catchgist-chrome folder from the project.
3. Open the extension's Options, set the site address to https://catchgist.com, and save.

Use it

• Select a passage on an article page and click the extension icon to send that selection to Catch Gist.
• Without a selection, click the icon to read the current page and start the gist.
• For longer pages, the extension sends the current URL to the site instead.
• Chrome's built-in PDF viewer opens the product uploader. Drag the PDF into the page to use text extraction or OCR.

You still listen and sign in on catchgist.com. The extension only sends material to the site; it does not handle your subscription, allowance, or speech.

You can also open Catch Gist directly. No extension store is required.
