The browser extension. Keep the page you are reading.
An article stops you: one click, a word if you like, and it is in your notes. As you were reading it, even behind a paywall. Carnet finds it, and Maurice can talk it over with you.
The page you see, not another.
The extension sends your Maurice the page as your browser shows it. The server does not have to fetch it and run into a subscription wall or a bot check: if you are reading it, it is kept.
The text you highlighted becomes your first comment. If the page is already in your notes, the extension says so and adds your new word to its page, with no duplicate.
Save to Maurice
Example
“Read again before talking about the garden with Marc.”
Note
Cmd+Enter to save.
What happens next.
1
A page in your notes.
The title, the author, the publication, the sharing picture, and the whole text, cleared of ads and boxes.
2
Two summaries.
The essence in a paragraph, in your language, and a longer summary to read instead of the article. Written in the background: you do not wait.
3
In Carnet, and with Maurice.
The article joins your list in Carnet, where you read and highlight it. Maurice finds it when you talk about it.
On a computer, and on the iPhone.
The extension works in Chrome and the browsers of the same family: Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi. On iPhone and iPad you need no extension: in Safari, the share button offers Save to Carnet, which does the same.
It talks only to your Maurice. It asks for access to your server’s address alone, when you type it, and reads a page only when you click.
Installing it
The extension is not on the Chrome Web Store yet. It is installed by hand, from the source code: in chrome://extensions, turn on developer mode, then Load unpacked.
Then, in its settings, two things: your Maurice’s address, the same as in the apps, and your personal token. The token is in the Maurice app’s settings, under “MCP auth token”: a tap copies it.
What stops you, kept in the right place.
The extension and Carnet are free. More about Carnet →
