Frequently asked questions

A bookmark manager for Chrome that remembers why you saved each page. Save the page you are on in one click, add a note for future you, sort it into collections and tags, and search it all later. It is free and needs no account.

Chrome. Other Chromium browsers that install extensions from the Chrome Web Store may work, but Jupiter Jots is built and tested on Chrome.

Click the puzzle piece in Chrome’s toolbar and pin Jupiter Jots. Its button opens the popup. From there you can open the side panel, or the full-screen library for sorting and cleaning up. All three are the same app.

Open the popup and choose Save, use Save this page in the side panel, right-click a page or link and choose Save to Jupiter Jots, or press Alt+Shift+S. If you saved the page before, Jupiter Jots tells you instead of making a duplicate.

A bookmark lives in one collection, like a folder, and collections can sit inside other collections as deep as you like. Tags cut across collections: one bookmark can have many. Use collections for where things belong and tags for what they are about.

Yes. Your library is stored in your browser, so you can browse, search and organise it without a connection. Opening a saved page still needs the internet.

In your browser’s own database (IndexedDB) on this computer. That includes bookmarks, notes, tags, collections, settings and the activity log used for Insights. None of it is sent to us; there is no server to send it to.

No. There is no account, no analytics, no tracking and no advertising. Nothing is sold or shared. The privacy policy lists the few things the extension loads from the web, such as preview images.

To save a page, Jupiter Jots reads its address, title, description and preview image, only when you save it. Access to all sites is optional and off by default; it lets the side panel read descriptions too. Your Chrome bookmarks are read only when you choose to import them.

Insights is built from a log of when you open or save a bookmark and from where. The log stays on your device. You can pause or clear it in Settings at any time.

Your library is deleted with the extension, and we have no copy. Export or back up first if you might want it again.

Not yet. Each computer has its own library. To move it, export a backup on one and import it on the other.

Yes. On the Import & export page choose Import from Chrome, allow access when Chrome asks, and pick the folders you want. They go into a collection you name, each folder becomes a collection inside it, and the nesting is kept. Your Chrome bookmarks are never changed.

Export a bookmarks HTML file from any browser and import it. Jupiter Jots also reads CSV files from Raindrop, Pocket or a spreadsheet, and its own JSON backups.

No. Pages you already saved are skipped. If an import isn’t what you wanted, you can undo the whole import in one step.

On the Import & export page, export everything or a single collection as JSON, browser bookmarks HTML or CSV. JSON keeps everything, including notes and tags, and is the best format for a backup.

Alt+Shift+S saves the page you are on. You can change it on chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Yes, up to nine. In Settings, choose the site for each shortcut, then set its keys on chrome://extensions/shortcuts. If the site is already open, the shortcut switches to that tab instead of opening another.

Chrome only lets you set extension keys on its own shortcuts page. Jupiter Jots has a button that takes you straight there.

It is planned, and it will be optional. Until you turn it on, your library stays only on your device, as it does now.

Phone apps are planned, so you can save from your phone’s share menu and read later. They will arrive with sync.

Reminders are planned: pick a time to come back to a bookmark, and Jupiter Jots will remind you.

A planned AI feature that answers questions from what you saved, such as summarising your links on a topic or suggesting tags. You will choose which collections it can read, and it will be off unless you turn it on.
