★ What Spade Does
Spade puts a powerful toolbar on every webpage that allows you to draw anywhere and mark down important information with a pen, highlighter, and text box. Your imagination can flow uninterrupted on webpages, allowing you to connect your thoughts without having to jot down notes elsewhere. These annotations are saved to the cloud and can be organized into folders on our website. Download annotated web pages as PDFs and share them with with others to help them understand your thought processes. *Everything is FREE to use!*

- (2023-04-13) Oleg Shubaly: Unfortunately, annotations and underlines break when changing devices - computers / tablets / phones
- (2023-04-07) Harsh K: This is the best highlight and annotation tool that exists. The only question I have is whether it will stay free? Because I can see myself using it a lot, and I don't want to store all the annotations only to later find out that continuing to use the features will require a hefty subscription fee. As of now, 5 stars from me.
- (2023-01-09) ana gomez: Simple, sleek, smooth. It is the best one, but I would give some suggestions. First, if possible, add support for other browsers, like opera and opera gx (on these opera browsers, the eyedropper doesn't work). Second, allow us to connect lines to lines. Thirdly, let us change the font style. Thanks!
- (2022-12-30) brenna senger: Uploading a PDF didn't work at all. It says uploaded, but clicking 'submit' did absolutely nothing. Super upsetting.
- (2022-11-11) JACOB MARS CABAÑERO DE OCA: It tells me to log in but when I try to put up the username and password it says invalid name or password I repeated it many times but it wont work and I clearly remember it.
- (2022-09-26) NgoThi KhanhLy: Such a lovely extension. I've searched this tool for such a long time. It's very easy to use, annotate on any websites and it has a cutie looking too. Thank you Spade for having invented this tool for users like us!!!!!
- (2022-09-07) Alice Bonham: I searched for such a long time to find out what I wanted. I love this chrome extension, it has a simple interface and is perfect for analyzing art concepts on websites for teaching my students, and it saves my previous annotations. Thanks Spade!
- (2022-08-30) Sage Halpkins: Hello, I am not able to start Spade on my webpages. I can only start it on Spade related pages. It doesn't start on other pages.
- (2022-07-21) Sarah Bonnin: Hello! I'm Sarah! I love this chrome extension. It makes it so easy to annotate and take notes when studying, or just everyday life in general. Either doing math problems, or highlighting key ideas in a pdf of a book, it makes it so much easier to do, right on the spot. Thanks Spade!!
- (2022-07-08) CTOUCH Rob: This tool is awesome! Especially on a CTOUCH (large format touchscreen) It;s easy to use and writes real smooth. You can make annotations on any webpage in your Chrome Browser. Just select the pen and write, scroll using 2 fingers and write again. Just love it!
- (2022-07-07) P S: Quite handy tool but I could not figure out how to draw shapes[rectangles, ovals, etc.]
- (2022-07-07) Thanh Trinh: This extension is pretty helpful, especially when reading research articles online and sharing the annotations.
- (2022-06-26) Daniel Zamoshchin: Requires you to log in and collects way too much personal data.

- (2023-04-07, v:3.0.0) Harsh K: Option to shift panel to the right side
I use vertical tabs with hover (on microsoft edge). So tool panel shifted to the right side would make more sense for me, because I don't want to accidentally open the tab list. - (2023-04-06, v:3.0.0) Luke Boner: Privacy Pratices
This extension seems like it is exactly what I need but I have some concerns regarding your privacy practices, the chrome extension page mentions: "Privacy practices Spade: Draw on and Annotate the Web & PDFs has disclosed the following information regarding the collection and usage of your data. More detailed information can be found in the developer's privacy policy. Spade: Draw on and Annotate the Web & PDFs collects the following: Personally identifiable information For example: name, address, email address, age or identification number Authentication information For example: passwords, credentials, security question or Personal Identification Number (PIN) User activity For example: network monitoring, clicks, mouse position, scroll or keystroke logging" Can you please advise me why you need to collect this information: "passwords, credentials, security question or Personal Identification Number (PIN)"? I would also like to know why you need to record this information as well: "name, address, email address, age or identification number" and "network monitoring, clicks, mouse position, scroll or keystroke logging"? I understand why you might need "email address" "clicks, mouse position, scroll" but the rest of the data that you are collecting seems unnecessary and an extreme security risk! Why should I trust any extension/application that is recording my passwords, credentials and then performing network monitoring and keystroke logging?? - (2023-04-02, v:3.0.0) Steven Johnson: Clash on Web
When I went to https://chat.openai.com/chat the page just goes into shaking convulsions as if it were laying on a $0.25 vibrating mattress in a pay by the hour motel. I thought it was going to give me a little seizure seizure. - (2022-10-17, v:3.0.0) skill krio: Styling changes on some website
I had visited this website - https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/Widget-class.html using my brave browser the footer of the page comes in center. But it works fine when spade is turned off. Kindly have a look on this issue. - (2022-10-07, v:3.0.0) skill krio: spade tool bar is not responsive
When working in the half size of the browser it covers up the content too. You can mess around with it for a while the toolbar will resize in different size. I would suggest you to make the toolbar icon smaller when the screen sizes are reduced without covering the content. - (2022-08-16, v:3.0.0) Sergey Youhim: How?
I turned off the extension, but it still appeals on the side panel of Vivaldi. How is this possible? https://i.postimg.cc/vB5F23JN/20220816-143730.png https://i.postimg.cc/KjFX6tFv/20220816-144115.png - (2022-08-08, v:3.0.0) cawcolo: Where is it?
I installed the extension on Chrome/Windows, but can't find a way to access the tool. - (2022-07-15, v:3.0.0) Anthony Froio: How to make Summarize button appear for all paragraphs
I just started using Spade and love it so far! The only issue I have is that the Summarize button doesn't appear for all the short paragraphs on my webpage. I tried enabling "summarize long paragraphs" in the settings, but there are still some areas where the button to summarize does not appear for short paragraphs. Is there a way to add this feature to the extension, or do you have a website where I can copy/paste my text to summarize it using the same system/algorithm? - (2022-06-29, v:2.0.1) P S: deleting entries shown on Dashboard page
Hi, I was testing Spade on some web pages and I do not need them for future reference. How do I delete their entries shown on Dashboard page? Thanks - (2022-03-30, v:0.2.1) Cindy: Site down
I really like the app, it's very useful, but for the past few days, the website/dashboard has been down and I can't save or access saved annotations. - (2021-09-01, v:0.2.1) IVHN: Forced center alignment on H3 elements
Hey there, I noticed that in my note taking apps like brick.do and on Facebook, H3 elements and Facebook profile names on status updates are forced center aligned. When I disabled your extension, everything went back to normal. Other than that, it's great - please update the icons too!
