One click, nothing to type
The title, URL, description and icon are read from the page for you. The popup opens with the form already filled in — you are choosing where it goes, not transcribing what it is.
Save the page.
Say why.
A free Chrome extension that files the page you are on into your own library — title, URL and icon read for you, a category, tags, and a spoken note about why it was worth keeping. Then you can close the tab.
No access to your browsing. Reads one page, when you click.
What it does
Six things, and it does not try to be a seventh.
Say why you saved it
Press record and talk. Your browser transcribes it into the note field. Six months later that sentence is the difference between a useful library and a folder of links you no longer recognise.
Categories as deep as the work
Client, then project, then environment, then console. The picker shows your whole tree, indented, with a filter once it grows past a screenful.
Tags across the hierarchy
For the links that belong to two things at once. A category is where something lives; a tag is what it is about.
Findable afterwards
Everything you save lands in a dashboard with full-text search over every title, note and tag, on Cmd+K.
Blind to everything else
No content script, no host access, no analytics. The extension sees exactly one page: the one you clicked save on.
How it works
Create a free account
The extension saves into your Inspistor library, so it needs somewhere to save to. Signing up takes a minute and costs nothing.
Install and sign in
Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store and sign in with the same email and password. The session stays in that browser and nowhere else.
Click save on anything worth keeping
The popup opens pre-filled. Pick a category, add tags, record a note if there is a reason worth remembering, and save.
Find it whenever you need it
Open the category months later and the whole project is there — or hit Cmd+K on the dashboard and search every title, note and tag at once.
What it can and cannot see
Most save-a-page extensions ask to “read and change all your data on all websites”, because a content script matched against every URL is the easy way to build one. Inspistor does not, and the install dialog will show you no host warning at all. It holds three permissions:
- activeTab — the title, URL, description and icon of the tab you clicked on, read at the moment you clicked. These are the fields that become the saved item.
- scripting — injects the reader that collects them, into that one tab, at that one moment.
- storage — keeps your sign-in token on your own machine so you are not signing in on every save.
It contacts exactly one server, the Inspistor API. There is no analytics service, no advertising network and no third party involved. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Frequently asked questions
Can the extension see the pages I browse?
No. It declares no content script and requests no access to the sites you visit. It reads a page only after you click the toolbar icon, using the activeTab permission, which Chrome grants for that one tab at that one moment. Everything else you browse is invisible to it.
Which permissions does it ask for, and why?
Three. activeTab reads the title, URL, description and icon of the tab you clicked on. scripting injects the small reader that collects them. storage keeps your sign-in token on your own machine so you are not asked to sign in on every save. It talks to one server — the Inspistor API — and to nothing else.
Is it free?
Yes. The extension, the account and the dashboard are free.
Do voice notes upload my audio to you?
No. Dictation uses the speech recognition built into Chrome, and we receive only the resulting text, only when you press save. The microphone is live only while the button says Stop.
Does it work in Edge, Brave or Arc?
Yes. Anything built on Chromium can install from the Chrome Web Store, and voice notes work wherever the browser implements speech recognition — which Chrome and Edge do.
Can I save pages that are behind a login?
Yes. It reads the page you are already looking at, so an authenticated page saves exactly like a public one. Only the title, URL, description and icon are read — never the page contents.
Stop losing the good ones
Free, no card, and it takes about a minute to be saving pages properly instead of leaving them open in a tab you will eventually close by accident.
