Why WordLyte Is Different

  • More than a keyword highlighter — WordLyte is a true web text multi-tool.
  • All-in-one workflow — combines highlighting, filters, folders, compare tools, clipboard history, and page controls in one extension.
  • Built local-first — designed for speed, privacy, and zero data collection.

📋 Key Features

1. Word Highlighting

  • Highlight individual words or keywords across any website — quickly surface the terms that matter most.
  • Optimized for single words and short word groups — ideal for fast scanning and cleaner matching.
  • Highlights persist as you scroll or navigate — maintain context while browsing longer pages.

2. Folders & Organization

  • Create a new folder from the Folder dropdown — select “+ New Folder…” to organize words instantly.
  • Domain-based folder structure — folders live on the site where they were created for clearer organization.
  • Main site folder covers the current domain — highlights can apply across the full hostname, not just one page.
  • URL path shown above your folder word list — includes one-click jump back to the current page.
  • Adjust folder scope instantly — switch between Page, Similar, or Site.
  • Click any word in a folder row to copy it — faster reuse while working.
  • Changes broadcast immediately to all open tabs — keep your workflow synced.
  • Folder order is saved per site — maintain a consistent layout.
  • Pause folders temporarily — skip a folder without deleting it.

3. Bookmarks

  • Automatic bookmarking — sites are bookmarked the moment you create your first folder on them.
  • See which sites have folders — quickly find your working sites again.
  • Jump back to bookmarked sites instantly — no hunting through tabs or history.
  • Navigate your folder-enabled sites faster — built for repeat workflows.

4. Global Word Filters

  • Apply filters across all websites — useful for recurring words you always want controlled.
  • Great for spoilers, profanity masking, or recurring terms — keep browsing cleaner and more focused.
  • Updates broadcast instantly to every open page — changes take effect fast.
  • Optional blackout and masking modes — choose how aggressive the filter should feel.
  • Plays cleanly with folder highlights — Global Word Filters do not interfere with folder words and do not trigger Smart Refresh detection.

5. Highlight Styles

  • Customize background, text, and arrow colors — style highlights to fit your workflow.
  • Bold, Italic, Underline, and marker options — more visual control over matches.
  • Live preview matches on-page highlights — what you see in the UI reflects the real result.
  • Pending style changes are clearly shown — “Apply Highlights” displays a pulsing ring when updates are waiting.

6. Smart Refresh

  • Automatically re-checks dynamic pages — useful when content loads or changes after the initial page render.
  • Ideal for live feeds and frequently updating pages — stay current without constant manual refreshing.
  • Works with scoped folder words — supports Page, Similar, and Site behavior.
  • Start it from Apply Highlights after setting a timer — simple workflow, per tab.
  • Per-tab control — start or stop Smart Refresh independently on each page.
  • Automatically stops when highlights are found — once an active folder word is highlighted, the tab no longer needs to keep checking.
  • Toggle dims when highlights are detected — clear visual feedback.

7. Search & Navigation

  • Search within folders instantly — narrow large lists quickly.
  • Use ↑ / ↓ to jump between highlighted words — move through matches without losing your place.

  • Control text selection highlighting and hover behavior — tune the reading experience.
  • Auto Text keeps selected text readable — useful when styling selections.
