How do I highlight text on a website?

Select the text you want to keep on any website, then highlight it with Marqly. You pick from six colors and can attach a note for context. The highlight persists on the page — it’s still there when you come back — and it also syncs to your Marqly library, so the passage is saved even if you never revisit the page.

Six colors, your system

Six colors are enough to build a simple code without turning highlighting into a chore: one color for key claims, one for numbers and evidence, one for things you disagree with, one for follow-ups. Whatever scheme you pick, it works the same on every site, because Marqly highlights work on any website — not just inside one reading app.

Highlights that don’t disappear

The usual problem with marking up the web is that nothing sticks: you close the tab and your careful selection is gone. Marqly highlights stay on the page when you revisit and sync to your library, so each one exists in two useful places — in context on the original page, and in your library where it’s searchable alongside everything else you’ve saved.

Add your thinking, then organize

A highlight marks what mattered; a note attached to it records why — which is the part you’ll have forgotten in six months. When highlights start piling up around a topic, group them with related links into a board so the research for one project lives in one place.
