Whether you’re researching, bookmarking, or simply want to remember something meaningful, our new browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox give you an easy way to preserve it all.
You can use the Day One browser extension to:
- Save articles to reflect on later
- Capture research or learning resources
- Bookmark ideas and inspiration
- Clip quotes and highlights to your journal
- Keep a digital log of what catches your attention each day
Features
- Save your current page – Click the Day One icon in your browser to instantly capture the title and URL of the page you’re viewing.
- Highlight and save text – Select any text on a webpage, right-click, and choose “Save to Day One” from the menu. The selected text will be saved as a new journal entry.
- Add context – Write a quick note before saving. Every new journal entry becomes part of your personal timeline in Day One.
- Optional Tags – Add your own tags when saving so you can find entries later by topic or theme.
- New Bookmarks Journal – When you use the extension for the first time, Day One automatically creates a new journal called Bookmarks. All entries saved through the extension go here by default, keeping your web captures organized and separate from your personal entries, unless you choose otherwise.
- Default Journal Control – Prefer to save to another journal? You can set your default journal in the extension settings.
