## Description

Highlite transforms any webpage into an interactive canvas, allowing you to layer insights, feedback, and reminders directly on the source, then capture it all as an annotated screenshot.

Whether you're conducting deep research or giving design feedback, Highlite keeps your annotations organized right where they belong.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST: YOUR DATA IS YOURS

Built with a privacy-by-design approach.

• 100% Local Storage: All your highlights, notes, and screenshots stay on your machine.

• Zero Tracking: We don't track your browsing history or collect analytics.

• Annotated Screenshot Capture: Annotate the live page first, then capture and copy your screenshot to the clipboard in one click.
• Precision Highlighting: Use multiple colors to categorize and organize text snippets instantly.
• Contextual Comments: Pin thoughts to specific sentences or paragraphs so you never forget your initial reaction.
• Digital Sticky Notes: Leave reminders or "to-do" prompts anywhere on the page.
• Visual Markup Tools: Use arrows, boxes, and freehand drawing to spotlight UI elements or key data.
