Kirio

You can use the Kirio Web Highlighter Chrome Extension here - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/einiamlaimngbponhhedmmgbjepgeclo?utm_source=item-share-cb

The official companion Obsidian plugin for the Kirio Web Highlighter. Seamlessly sync your web highlights, notes, and annotations directly into your Obsidian vault.

Kirio bridges the gap between your web research and your personal knowledge management system by bringing all your colored highlights into a dedicated, searchable sidebar right inside Obsidian.

✨ Features

• 🔄 Cloud Syncing: Connects directly to your Kirio account via Supabase to pull in your highlights instantly.
• 🎨 Native Colored Callouts: Copy any highlight with a single click. It pastes into your notes as a beautifully formatted Obsidian callout that retains your original highlight color (Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue, or Red) using a custom highlighter icon.
• 🔗 Deep Linking: Click Source ↗ on any highlight card to open the web page and jump straight to the exact text you highlighted.
• 🔍 Global Search: Quickly filter and find specific highlights across all your saved web pages directly from the sidebar.
• 🔒 Secure & Read-Only: The plugin acts as a secure read-only window into your highlights. Modifications and account creations are handled safely in the browser extension.
