Questions,
answered.

Getting started

How do I save a ChatGPT (or Claude / Gemini) message?

Select any text in the conversation with your mouse. A 💡 Save idea button appears right next to your selection — click it, done. You don't save the whole conversation; you save the sentence that mattered.

Which sites does JumpBack work on?

ChatGPT (chatgpt.com), Claude (claude.ai) and Gemini (gemini.google.com) out of the box. Google Search AI Overviews can be enabled with one toggle in the popup — it's off by default so JumpBack asks for no Google permissions until you want it.

Do I need an account or an API key?

No. It works the second you install it. No sign-up, no login, no API key, free.

Jump-back

How does "jump back" work?

Every saved highlight remembers which conversation it came from. Click a saved card and JumpBack reopens that conversation, scrolls to your sentence, and flashes it — even in very long chats. A note without context dies in a week; that's why every line stays linked to its moment.

Why can't it jump back to a Google AI Overview?

AI Overviews have no history — Google regenerates them on every search, and the same answer may never appear again. JumpBack re-runs your search and highlights the sentence if it reappears. If it doesn't, your saved copy is the only one in existence — which is exactly why it's worth saving.

Summaries & privacy

Why didn't my save get a summary?

Summaries run on Chrome's built-in on-device AI (Gemini Nano), which needs Chrome 138+ and a reasonably powerful device. On machines that don't support it, your original text is always saved in full — nothing is ever lost, you just don't get the bullet summary.

Where is my data stored?

Only in your browser's local storage — there is no content server and no account. We count anonymous feature usage (whether saving and jump-back worked — never what you saved), and you can switch that off anytime in the popup. Details: privacy policy. If sync ships later, it will always be opt-in.

Can I use my highlights in other apps?

Yes — the popup has one-click Markdown export, which drops cleanly into Notion, Obsidian, or any notes app. Deeper integrations are on the roadmap.

Devices

Can I see my highlights on another computer?

Not yet — everything is local-first today. Cross-device sync is in the works (opt-in, encrypted). Join the beta waitlist to be first in line.

Does it work on Edge or other browsers?

JumpBack is built for Chromium browsers. Chrome is official today; an Edge Add-ons listing is coming. Other Chromium browsers (Brave, Whale) can usually install from the Chrome Web Store.
