Simplifying how people remember text.
We're on a mission to make text highlighting effortless, giving users a simpler way to save and remember important information across the web.
Our mission
At GlowText, we are dedicated to transforming the way people interact with online content. Our mission is to provide users with the easiest, fastest way to save and organize important information found across the web. We believe that capturing and revisiting text should be as simple as highlighting it.
We're user-obsessed — putting time into building intuitive, lightweight tools that enhance your browsing experience without getting in the way. We believe that the best tools become invisible, working seamlessly with your existing workflows. Our extension is designed to be unobtrusive yet powerful, helping you capture what matters without disrupting your focus.

Meet the team
Founded by passionate text enthusiasts.
GlowText was created by a small team of developers and designers who wanted a better way to save and organize information from the web.
The idea for GlowText came when our founders noticed how inefficient it was to save important text from websites. They were tired of copying and pasting into notes apps, taking screenshots, or bookmarking entire pages just to reference a small section. They realized that highlighting text is already second nature when reading, so why not make that action do more?
Today, GlowText transforms how people interact with content by providing a frictionless way to capture and highlight text across the web. Our browser extension works seamlessly across platforms, letting you save and organize important snippets with just a few clicks or keyboard shortcuts. More than 30,000 users rely on GlowText for research, studying, content curation, and more.
