How Annotated works

Four moves: clip, annotate, share, engage.

Clip any media

Highlight text, scrub a video, or grab a podcast clip — straight from the page you're on. Maximum 90 seconds, optimized to 240p.

Add commentary

Type your take or record a voice note. Your perspective lives alongside the source forever.

Follow & discover

Build a feed of takes from people whose perspectives you trust. Comment on theirs, hear what they think of yours.

Fair to creators

Every annotation links back to the original. One-click claim filing for rights holders, with full counter-notice support.

Chrome extension

Annotated lives in your sidebar

The Chrome side panel keeps Annotated one click away on every page you visit. Your feed, your clipping tools, all without leaving the article.

Add to Chrome Install manually

Install in 3 steps

  1. 1
    Visit the Chrome Web Store
    Search for Annotated, or click here.
  2. 2
    Click 'Add to Chrome'
    Approve the permissions — we only ask for what's needed to read the active tab and bring up the sidebar.
  3. 3
    Pin the extension
    Click the puzzle icon in your toolbar and pin Annotated. Click the icon to open the side panel anywhere on the web.

Privacy: We don't track you. The extension only reads page metadata when you open the side panel — never browsing history.

For everyone with a take

Built for the way you already share online.
