Marking
Save the paragraph that matters.
The handle appears as you hover. A click saves that block, whether it is a paragraph, a list, a heading or a quote.
EtchChrome · Firefox · Browser extension
Bookmark any moment in an AI chat and jump straight back to it.
Etch adds bookmarks to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI chat apps. Save the paragraph, list, heading or quote that mattered, then return to that exact spot with one click. Your bookmarks stay in your browser.
Built for people who do real work in long AI conversations and hate scrolling to find the good part.
A small, focused tool
It does one job, and stays out of the way.
No account, no setup and no new app to learn. Etch lives in the margin of the chat you already use.
Mark in one click
Hover a reply and click the handle in the margin. There is no title, tag or folder to fill in.
Jump back instantly
Every bookmark knows where it came from. One click scrolls the page to the exact paragraph.
Kept on your machine
Bookmarks are stored locally in your browser and never synced to a server. There is nothing to sign up for.
In use
Real screens from the extension.
Recorded in real conversations: marking a reply, finding it again, and getting back to it.
Collections
Every bookmark, grouped by site.
See what you saved across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and the rest, with a link to open each conversation.
Back in context
Land on the paragraph, highlighted.
After a jump, the saved block is outlined so your eye finds it at once, with the rest of the conversation around it.
The problem
AI chats are great at answers and bad at keeping them.
A long conversation might hold one paragraph you will want next week: the command that finally worked, the wording you liked, the explanation that made it click.
Chat history finds the conversation, not the paragraph. Copying into a notes app keeps the text but loses the context around it. So you scroll, and scroll, and sometimes give up and ask again.
Etch keeps a pointer to the moment itself, so getting back to it takes one click instead of a search.
Keep all the good parts of every AI chat.
Standout feature
A bookmark that takes you back to the exact spot.
Most ways of saving AI output keep a copy. Etch keeps the place.
Click jump in the side panel, or pick a bookmark from the toolbar popup, and the page scrolls to the block you saved, with the conversation around it intact.
That matters because the value of an answer is often in what came before it: the question, the constraint you added, the follow-up.
- Jumps to the saved paragraph, not just the conversation
- Works from the side panel, or from the toolbar popup on any site
- Keeps each conversation’s bookmarks separate
- Leaves the surrounding context in place

Keep the snippet that finally worked.
Mark the working command or code block and come back to it with the discussion that led there.
Researchers and students
Build a trail through long sessions.
Save the explanations and sources worth revisiting instead of re-asking the same question later.
Writers
Hold on to the phrasing you liked.
Drafting with AI produces a lot of near-misses. Bookmark the good lines as they appear.

One habit across every chat app.

Why Etch stands out
Saving the place, not just the text.
The usual ways of keeping AI output either save a copy with no context or make you search for the whole conversation again.
Etch also reads the page by its layout rather than by the class names these apps use, so the frequent redesigns of AI chat interfaces are far less likely to break it.
