Retrieplug (Retrieve-Plugin)

Transforming linear AI chats into your personal knowledge tree.

🌲 Why Retrieplug?

Standard AI interfaces force you to scroll endlessly. If your thought process is non-linear—branching off into technical details and then returning to the main topic—you lose context. Retrieplug allows you to anchor important answers and jump between different "branches" of your conversation via a persistent sidebar. It's a lightweight browser extension designed for efficient web information extraction, clipboard parsing, and formula copying, featuring a minimalist and highly efficient design.

🧠 Memory System

We have implemented a robust dual-mode storage system to ensure your "Knowledge Tree" is always safe and accessible.

1. Auto-Save (Persistence)

The extension automatically syncs your pinned messages to chrome.storage.local based on the unique conversation URL. Even if you refresh the page or restart your browser, your pins remain intact.

2. Manual Control

You have full control over the memory. Manually pin messages using the 📌 button on hover, or remove specific snippets directly from the sidebar. The storage updates in real-time.

✨ Features

• 📌 Smart Pinning — Hover over any AI response to instantly anchor it.
• 📋 Snippet Sidebar — A sleek, collapsible drawer with a glassmorphism design.
• ⚡ Instant Warp — Click any card in the sidebar to smoothly scroll to that message.
• 🎨 Silky Smooth Collapsible UI — Bottom-mounted trigger with a top-anchored dropdown animation, ensuring absolute visual stability for the core information area. Defaults to English, with automatic system theme matching and manual toggles.
• ⌨️ Interface-free Rapid Clipboard Routing — Say goodbye to clunky input fields! When enabled, use Ctrl + Shift + 1~9 to instantly extract clipboard file history from the newest to older entries with lightning speed. Includes a dedicated global switch, giving full control back to the user.
• 🧮 One-Click Formula Extraction — (Coming Soon) Easily capture LaTeX and MathML formulas from webpages.
