Web text multi-tool A highlighter built for working with text.

WordLyte in use.

Five real views of the extension at working scale: highlighting, organization, clipboard history, page filters, and adaptable layouts.

More than a Highlighter

One marked word can become a workflow.

WordLyte connects the act of highlighting to the tools that come next.

The page stays central.

WordLyte sits around the text you are already reading. The extension adds structure and recall without asking you to rebuild the same work in a separate notes app.

Six tools for working with web text.

Word Highlighting
