Web Highlighter & Notes - Highlightly

Highlightly is the web highlighter that turns the pages you read into knowledge you can actually use. Select any text on any website, pick a color, and your highlight is saved instantly and restored every time you come back. Then do the one thing ordinary highlighters cannot: turn your highlights into a clean AI summary and send it straight to Notion, Google Docs, or your favorite AI chat. It is the fastest way to annotate webpage text and keep what matters. 🚀 🚀 WHY READERS AND RESEARCHERS LOVE THIS WEB HIGHLIGHTER Most people lose their best ideas in a graveyard of open tabs and forgotten bookmarks.

Each highlight re-anchors using a text-quote plus position strategy, the same approach trusted annotation tools use, so a highlight web page mark survives small edits and re-renders instead of vanishing.
