  • Organize with notebooks: Group notes into notebooks; save transcripts in one click.
  • Right‑click menu: Add selected text from any page to notes or a specific notebook.
  • History: View, copy, play audio (when available), delete, or retry failed items.
  • Import/Export: Export your history as JSON and import it later.
  • Realtime sync: Notes sync across devices.
  • Theme & fonts: Light/Dark/Auto themes and font preferences.
  • Usage at a glance: View cycle usage and jump to dashboard areas.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Ctrl + Q: Start/stop recording and paste transcript.
