SynapseClean

Stop wasting AI context windows on messy webpage paste. You research on the web, select thousands of words, copy, and paste into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot. What arrives is half boilerplate: cookie banners, nav menus, footers, ads, duplicate whitespace, and broken formatting. That burns tokens, clutters prompts, and eats premium message quotas. SynapseClean fixes this at copy time — before the text ever hits your clipboard or AI chat. WHAT SYNAPSECLEAN DOES SynapseClean is a local context compactor for AI power-users. It intercepts text you select on any webpage and compacts it into a clean, paste-ready Markdown outline optimized for cloud LLMs. Typical result: turn a 4,000-word webpage dump into a ~400-word laser-focused prompt — without sending your data to the cloud. 100% ON-DEVICE. ZERO TELEMETRY. • All compaction runs locally in your browser • No accounts, sign-ups, or license keys • No telemetry, analytics, or remote processing • Optional Gemini Nano uses Chrome’s on-device Prompt API only — your text never leaves the browser • Free and open source (MIT) HOW IT WORKS 1. Select text on any webpage 2. SynapseClean compacts it using one of three triggers (below) 3. Paste the cleaned output into your AI chat Compaction pipeline: • HTML-to-Markdown — preserves headings, lists, and structure from your selection • Rule-based strip — removes nav crumbs, cookie banners, ads, footers, and duplicate lines • Gemini Nano (optional) — semantic refinement when Chrome’s on-device AI is available THREE WAYS TO COMPACT Auto-compact on copy Select text and copy normally (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C). When auto-compact is enabled and your selection meets the minimum character threshold, SynapseClean compacts before write-back to the clipboard. Keyboard shortcut Select text and press Alt+Shift+C (Option+Shift+C on Mac). Compacts instantly without copying first. Remap in chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Context menu Right-click any selection → “SynapseClean: Compact for AI”. KEY FEATURES • Auto-compact on copy — intercepts clipboard for large selections • Rule-based compaction — fast, works on every Chrome install • Gemini Nano semantic cleaning — optional on-device AI via Chrome Prompt API (Chrome 127+) • Output formats — Markdown, outline, or bullets • Domain-Specific Compaction Profiles: define custom pruning and prompts per URL • Prompt Console — full settings page for thresholds, formats, and Gemini toggle • Compaction toast — shows characters saved after each run • Local usage log — compaction counts and stats stored only on your device • Open source — inspect the code on GitHub WHO IT’S FOR • Researchers pasting articles and docs into AI chats • Developers copying Stack Overflow, GitHub, and documentation • Students gathering sources for essays and analysis • Anyone hitting context limits or paying per message on cloud LLMs Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, and any tool where you paste context. PRIVACY FIRST SynapseClean does not operate a backend. It makes no network requests for compaction, licensing, or telemetry. Settings and usage stats live in chrome.storage.local on your device and are removed when you uninstall. Broad site access is required so the content script can intercept copy events on pages where you select text — not to read or upload your browsing history. GETTING STARTED 1. Install SynapseClean 2. On first run, the Prompt Console opens — set your minimum character threshold (default: 200), output format, and Gemini preference 3. Select text on any page, copy or press Alt+Shift+C, paste into your AI chat Open the extension popup for a quick dashboard, or the Prompt Console for the full How to Use guide. REQUIREMENTS • Google Chrome or Chromium • Gemini Nano is optional — rule-based compaction works without it • For Gemini Nano: Chrome 127+ with Prompt API enabled in chrome://flags OPEN SOURCE SynapseClean is MIT licensed.
