About WebCapsule

──────────────────────── Who WebCapsule Is For ──────────────────────── ・People who need to organize large amounts of research material ・People who frequently save news, technical documentation, or investment information ・People who want to organize ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini conversations ・People who keep many tabs open but still struggle to find important information ・People who want to build a personal knowledge base ・People who need to save and synchronize data across devices ================================================== Introduction ================================================== Turn important webpages into knowledge you can truly organize, search, and keep for the long term. WebCapsule is a local-first web snapshot and note organization tool. When you are reading news, research reports, technical documentation, investment information, tutorials, or any webpage worth keeping, simply click WebCapsule to save the current page as a searchable, categorized, and tagged snapshot note. No more letting tabs pile up or burying important information in an unmanageable collection of bookmarks. WebCapsule helps you turn scattered online content into your own personal knowledge base. You can use WebCapsule entirely on your current device without signing in or connecting to any cloud service. When you need cross-device access or an additional layer of data protection, you can optionally connect your own Google Drive and synchronize the notes, images, PDFs, MHTML files, and backups created by WebCapsule to your own cloud storage. WebCapsule v0.7.0 | Product Overview Turn important webpages into a personal knowledge base you can organize, search, back up, and keep. WebCapsule is a local-first web snapshot and note organization tool. Whether you are saving news, research material, technical documentation, investment information, tutorials, or even AI conversations, WebCapsule helps you turn them into searchable, organized, and easy-to-review content. Stop losing valuable information across endless tabs and bookmarks. WebCapsule brings scattered online content together into a knowledge system of your own. ──────────────────────── What’s New in v0.7 ──────────────────────── 【Seven-language Interface】 WebCapsule now supports Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. The interface can follow your browser language automatically, or you can switch languages at any time. 【Google Drive Sync and Backup】 Synchronize your notes, images, PDFs, MHTML files, and backups to your own Google Drive. Manual, daily, weekly, and monthly backup schedules are supported. 【Local Backup History and Restore】 Keep local backup history and preview backup contents before restoring. WebCapsule supports both merge restore and replace restore, helping reduce the risk of accidental deletion or unexpected data issues. 【Improved Full-page Screenshot Viewer】 After capturing a complete webpage, you can zoom in, zoom out, reset the view, and use the Minimap to navigate through long screenshots more easily. 【Enhanced Markdown Workflow】 Copy an entire page, selected content, or a saved note as Markdown. This is ideal for organizing articles, technical documentation, and research material. 【Import Hub for Multiple Sources】 Import content from general articles, documentation websites, Substack, Medium, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, RSS, Atom, Podcast sources, and more. 【Version, Deletion, and Conflict Management】 Version History, Recent Deletions, Conflict Center, and JSON Export make your data easier to manage, recover, and move. ──────────────────────── Key Features ──────────────────────── 【One-click Capture】 Quickly save the current webpage title, URL, content, tags, folder, and personal notes. 【Complete Archiving】 Save webpages as full-page screenshots, PDFs, MHTML files, or Markdown depending on your needs. 【Fast Organization】 Use folders, tags, and full-text search to quickly find important content you saved in the past. 【Cross-device Access】 Optionally connect your own Google Drive to synchronize WebCapsule data across different computers. 【Local-first by Design】 Core features remain available without signing in or connecting to the cloud. Your data is stored on your current device first. 【Safer Backups】 Create backups manually or on a schedule, with backup history, preview, and restore options. ──────────────────────── Privacy and Data Storage ──────────────────────── WebCapsule follows a local-first design and does not automatically create a complete browsing history. It only processes the content required from the current page when you explicitly use a save, screenshot, export, or import feature. Local data is primarily stored in Chrome extension storage and IndexedDB. Google Drive synchronization and backup are optional and are only enabled after the user explicitly signs in and grants permission. WebCapsule uses the limited drive.file permission and does not request unrestricted access to your entire Google Drive. WebCapsule does not sell user data, does not use cross-site advertising trackers, and does not include third-party advertising, telemetry, or analytics SDKs. No sign-in, membership account, or subscription is required for local features.
