Sign in

The extension authenticates with the same session cookie as the dashboard — there’s no separate login. As long as you’re signed in at app.kiomon.com, the extension is signed in too.

If the popup shows a sign-in screen instead of the save form, click Sign in or Continue with Google in the popup to open the dashboard and complete authentication.

Saving pages

1. Open the page you want to save. 2. Click the **Kiomon** toolbar icon. The popup shows the page title, domain, and favicon. 3. Pick a **workspace** from the dropdown (or choose **+ Create New Workspace**). 4. (Optional) Add a **quick note** (up to 200 characters) and **tags** (comma-separated). 5. Click **Save**.

The extension extracts the page using a readability algorithm and converts it to clean markdown before sending it to the API — no junk navigation, ads, or scripts end up in your library. When the save completes, the toolbar icon shows a green ✓ badge and the popup offers View Saved, which opens the document in your dashboard reader.

Save a highlight

To save just a quote or a specific snippet:

1. Select the text on any page.
2. Right-click and choose Save highlight to Kiomon.

The selection is captured with the page’s title and URL as a lightweight note document.

Permissions

The extension requests the minimum it needs:

• activeTab & scripting — to extract readable content from the current tab
• storage — to remember your last workspace
• contextMenus — for the Save highlight right-click action
• cookies — to read your dashboard session so you don’t have to sign in separately
• Host access — limited to Kiomon’s own domains; page extraction happens locally in your browser and only the cleaned content is sent to the Kiomon API

What happens after a save

Behind the scenes, a save triggers the full pipeline:

1. The document is stored and indexed into the full-text search index.
2. AI auto-tagging extracts tags, entities, claims, and a domain.
3. A background job runs the auto-linker (Pro) to find related documents and queue link suggestions.
4. The page appears instantly in your Library and is searchable immediately.
