About Highlighty: Search, Find, Multi Highlight
Highlighty is a multi-keyword highlighter: find and highlight multiple words or phrases at once on web pages, each in its own color, then jump between the results and read each one in context. Handy for reviewing contracts, screening CVs, research and proofreading.
🔎 A Ctrl+F for many words: by default, Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) on a supported page opens Highlighty's multi-term find bar instead of the browser's. Turn this off in the popup, or press Ctrl+Shift+F (Control+Shift+F on Mac) at any time.
🆓 The free plan is ad-free and includes up to five active terms per list and two saved lists; no account is needed.
💎 PRO is a paid subscription sold by Webmind Technologies Ltd through Paddle. Create and verify a free account to try PRO first. Limits, trial and pricing: https://highlighty.app/pricing
❗ After installing, refresh any tabs that were already open.

2. Type a word or phrase into the Highlighty popup and add more as needed.
3. An on-page message shows which terms were found.
4. Step through the colored results, or press Ctrl/Cmd+F to use the find bar.
