## Description

Grasp implements org-capture for Chrome. It adds a browser button and keyboard shortcuts to capture the current page title and URL, optionally the selected text, plus comments or tags, and sends them into your Org Mode file.

To use Grasp, install the extension and set up the backend it communicates with. Once configured, you can save notes from any page into Org Mode using the designated hotkeys.
