Chrome & Edge extension

Save what matters without breaking your reading flow.

The Stowspace browser extension is a focused capture tool for Chrome and Edge on Windows. Choose what you want to keep, send it to the desktop app, and continue browsing while Stowspace prepares the saved item for reading and search.

Stowspace Chrome and Edge extension with article, selection, link, snapshot, and video capture choices

Choose the right kind of capture

Save a readable article when you want the main text and images, a selection when one passage matters, or a link when you only need the source. Page snapshots preserve a fuller representation, while supported video capture can keep useful transcript context.

Before saving, you can choose a collection and tags. The result enters the same local library as notes and material captured inside the Windows app.

  • Readable page and current-link capture
  • Selected-text and signed-in-page capture on explicit request
  • Supported video links and transcript workflows

Local bridge, user-initiated access

The extension communicates with Stowspace on the same Windows computer through a native-messaging bridge. It does not maintain standing access to every site and does not build a browsing history.

When you choose to capture a page, the browser grants temporary access for that action. Stowspace sanitizes the captured content before it leaves the tab and sends it to the local desktop app.

Store releases are approval-aware

Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons buttons appear only when the corresponding production listing URL is configured. While a listing is under review, the website says so clearly instead of presenting a broken or misleading store button.

Manual installation assets remain secondary and are shown only when a real release provides them. The current verified browser targets are Chrome and Edge on Windows.

Common questions

Clear answers before you start.

Which browsers are supported?
The supported extension targets current Chrome and Edge releases on Windows. Chrome-compatible browsers may install the Chrome listing, but Chrome and Edge are the verified targets.
Does the extension upload every page I visit?
No. Capture is user-initiated and the extension passes the requested material to the Stowspace app on your computer.
Does the Windows app need to be installed?
Yes. The extension uses the local Stowspace bridge and saves into the Windows library.

Take your library beyond one computer.

Keep Windows and Android in sync, protect saved pages in the cloud, and use hosted AI when it saves you time. Your local Windows library keeps working if you cancel.
