Silent Highlight — Web & PDF Highlighter

Tired of highlighting extensions that force you to create an account, track your reading habits, or lock basic features behind a paywall? Meet Silent Highlight.

Silent Highlight is a next-generation web and PDF highlighter built on a different philosophy: Zero Friction and Absolute Privacy. Simply install it, select text on any webpage or PDF, and start highlighting at the speed of thought. No sign-ups, no cloud, no lag.

✪ WHY SILENT HIGHLIGHT IS DIFFERENT

✔ 100% Private: Your highlights never leave your computer. Everything is stored safely in your browser's local storage. ✔ Zero Sign-ups: We will never ask for your email. No subscriptions required to get started. Works instantly right out of the box. ✔ Ultra-Lightweight: Engineered for speed. We never slow down your browsing experience. ✔ Premium Design: A modern glassmorphism interface that lives cleanly in the browser's native side panel, keeping your reading space clutter-free.

✪ BUILT FOR DATA SOVEREIGNTY AND RESEARCH CONTINUITY

✔ Automatic Safety Net: Silent Highlight triggers an automatic backup before any uninstallation or bulk data import, so your knowledge is always protected. ✔ Data Integrity Protection: Built-in HMAC-SHA256 verification ensures your local database stays healthy and protected against corruption or external tampering. ✔ UX Resilience (Context Guardian): Silent Highlight reconnects automatically after an extension update. Keep working without interruptions or the need to reload your tabs. ✔ Legacy Migration: Updating from TextMark? All your old highlights and folders are migrated and cryptographically signed instantly in the background, for free.
