Annotate text, video, and podcasts without leaving the source.

The side panel captures only after you ask, uses Grab the last within media a player already exposes, and scans for public annotations only when you press Radar.

Browser-capture workflow

See request-to-receipt, including the capture.

This narrated rendering shows the API/MCP request, locked browser_capture handoff, visible human recording, Send step, and receipt without implying a live job. Direct-media automation uses a separately disclosed delegated-key boundary.

What Chrome allows

Four access patterns, in plain English.

Annotated has no always-on access to sites or browsing history. The full implementation-level data map remains available on the Privacy page.

Read the page you invoke

Capture the active selection or media timing only after a toolbar, side-panel, or selection-menu gesture.

No persistent content script

Open beside the source

Keep the composer in Chrome’s side panel while the original page stays visible.

No second app

Save drafts locally

Recover draft text, voice notes, source clips, and preview shortcuts. Clear them at any time inside Annotated.

Browser-local by default

Record a short source clip

After a separate rights checkbox and Record click, capture only the visible invoked tab for the selected interval. Chrome shows its recording indicator.

Stop or discard at any time
