grabbr

The intelligent, glassmorphic content extractor for the modern web.

Version Theme Mode

grabbr is a high-performance Chrome extension designed for students, researchers, and power users who need to bridge the gap between web content and their knowledge management systems (Obsidian, Notion, Anki).


Key Features

Intelligent Extraction Engine

  • Full Page Sequence: Capture entire documents in strict visual order.
  • Smart Question Mode: Drills down into quiz layouts to extract Question-Choice pairings automatically.
  • Study Mode: Identified answers are hidden by default to let you test yourself. Reveal them with a single toggle.
  • Image Context: Automatically grabs alt text and ARIA labels near content to provide visual context in your notes.

Visual Immersion

  • Adaptive UI: Matches the host page's brightness—automatically switching between Zinc Light and Dark themes.
  • True Ghost Mode (Floating UI): Bypasses Chrome popup window limitations by injecting the UI directly into the webpage. This allows for a genuine 15% opacity floating overlay that you can drag and move anywhere on your screen.
  • Glassmorphic Design: Built with high-fidelity blurs, subtle borders, and a clean typography palette inspired by Shadcn/UI.

Power-User Workflow

  • Markdown Export: Direct-to-Markdown export optimized for Obsidian and Notion.
  • CSV Export: Formatted specifically for Anki deck imports and Quizlet.
  • Search in Preview: Real-time filtering to find specific items within large scans.
  • Auto-Copy: Bypass the UI and send grabb'd content straight to your clipboard.
