A bookmark for the paragraph.

A Chrome extension that saves your exact spot on any web page, with a note if you want one, and scrolls you straight back to it when you return. Even on pages that shift around after they load.

Free on Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc. Save from the toolbar or press AltShiftS.

Bookmarks remember the page, not where you were on it.

So the tab stays open, and forty of its friends with it. A saved place keeps the paragraph you stopped at, the note you meant to leave, and how far you got, so the tab can go.

Find every saved paragraph and pick up from the same place.

Save, close, come back.

Three moments. The extension does the remembering in between.

  1. The actual Chrome extension popup used to save a reading position

    Save the spot

    Click the toolbar button or press AltShiftS. The extension reads the text in view, notes how far down you are, and keeps an optional note. Select a passage first and the quote is saved with it.

  2. The actual saved places library after tabs have been closed

    Close the tab

    Really close it. The place lives in the library now, not in a tab you are afraid to lose.

  3. The actual reading page used to return to a saved paragraph

    Come back to the paragraph

    Open the place from the library. The page loads, scrolls to the sentence you saved, and highlights it for a moment. If the layout has changed, the text anchor still finds it.

Restore that survives the page changing.

Pixel offsets break the moment a banner loads or a comment expands. A saved place is anchored to the words on the page, so it finds them again.

  1. The words come first

    Two or three sentences near the top of your view are saved. On return, the page is searched for those exact words and scrolled so they sit where they were.

  2. Then a stable element

    If the words are gone, a saved element id gets you to the right section of the page.

  3. Then the scroll position

    As a last resort, the saved percentage of the page puts you close to where you were.

Restore retries for up to five seconds while the page keeps loading, then stops. It cancels the moment you scroll or type. The browser’s built-in PDF viewer and closed shadow roots are not supported, and infinite-scroll feeds are best effort.

In the demo, a comment block loads late and pushes the article down. The saved place follows the words, not the pixels.

Every unfinished page, in one quiet list.

The side panel shows what you saved across every site. Search titles, sources, quotes and notes. Group by date or by site. Rename, delete, or open a place at its saved position.

Nothing leaves your browser.

Saved places live in Chrome’s local storage on your computer. There is no account, no server, no analytics, and no network request in the extension.

  • No account and no sign-in.
  • No network calls. The extension never phones home.
  • Form values are never read. Password, payment and hidden fields included.
  • Incognito windows, browser pages, and banking, health and login sites are skipped by default.
  • Add any site to your own blocklist.
  • Export everything as JSON, or delete it all, in one click from settings.

It uses local storage, the side panel, reminders, notifications, and access to regular webpages. Page access keeps the saved-place card available while you browse and lets the extension save or restore only when you ask.

Questions

Does it work on pages that change after loading, like documentation sites or comment threads?

Yes, that is the point of anchoring to text. A saved place keeps two or three sentences from your view and searches for them when the page loads, retrying as the page keeps changing for up to five seconds. If the words have gone, it falls back to a saved element and then to the scroll percentage. Infinite-scroll feeds are best effort, because content that was never loaded cannot be found.

What is the keyboard shortcut?

Alt+Shift+S saves the current spot on Windows, Linux and Mac. You can change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Where is my data stored?

In Chrome’s local extension storage on your computer. The extension makes no network requests, has no account, and runs no analytics. You can export everything as a JSON file or delete it all from settings.

Which permissions does it ask for, and why?

storage keeps saved places and settings on this device. sidePanel shows the library. scripting saves, restores and briefly highlights a position. alarms and notifications provide optional reminders. Access to regular HTTP and HTTPS pages keeps the saved-place card available while you browse and enables saving and restoring on those pages.

Does it sync between computers?

Not yet. Sync is planned for the Pro tier and will be encrypted on your device before anything is stored. For now, JSON export provides a backup you control; import is not available yet.

Can I save more than one place on a page?

Yes, up to 10 per page. Each has its own note and shows separately in the library.

Which sites are excluded?

Incognito windows, Chrome’s own pages, and hosts that look like banking, health or login portals are skipped. You can add any site to your own blocklist in settings.

Does it work on PDFs, or in Firefox?

Chrome’s built-in PDF viewer is not supported, and neither are closed shadow roots. The extension runs on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and other Chromium browsers. There is no Firefox or Safari version.

Close the tab. Keep the place.

Free for Chromium browsers. It installs in a few seconds, and everything stays on your computer.

Then save your first place with AltShiftS.
