About Minimap
Minimap – Smart Navigation & Productivity Sidebar
🧭 Long webpages shouldn’t feel like a maze.
Minimap is your personal web manager—a fast, private, and local-first browser extension that helps you navigate long pages, capture useful information, take notes, and stay organized without constantly switching tabs.
The interactive Minimap detects important page sections, highlights your current location, displays reading progress, and lets you jump directly to headings, cards, messages, and other meaningful content without endless scrolling.
Select text on any supported webpage to quickly copy it, edit it in Markdown, save it as a note, or paste it into an input field. Quick Tools keep notes, captures, Obsidian, OCR, drawing, and other everyday actions within easy reach.

🔐 PRIVATE AND LOCAL-FIRST
Your information stays on your device.

Screenshot access is used only when you explicitly request a capture. OCR processing runs on your device.
