FAQ

What is SaveBuddy?

A small Chrome extension that saves useful links from a popup in the toolbar, so you can find them again later.

Is it free?

Yes. SaveBuddy is open source under the MIT License.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no account and no sign-in.

Where are my links stored?

Locally in your browser, in the extension’s localStorage. See Privacy.

Do my links sync between devices?

No. SaveBuddy v1.0 has no cloud sync — links stay on the computer where you use the extension.

How do I save the current tab?

Open SaveBuddy and click SAVE TAB. It grabs the active tab’s title and URL automatically. See Usage.

Can I save a link manually?

Yes. Type a URL in the Enter URL field and click SAVE LINK. Add an optional title in the Optional title field; an empty title becomes Untitled Link.

Can I edit a saved link?

Yes. Click the pencil icon next to a link, update the title or URL, and save.

Can I copy a URL?

Yes. Click the Copy icon — the URL goes to your clipboard.

Can I delete links?

Yes. The trash icon removes one link; DELETE ALL removes everything after a confirmation. Deletion can’t be undone.

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

SaveBuddy suggests Alt+S to open the popup. Change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. See Keyboard Shortcuts.

Does it work in Firefox or Safari?

No. It’s built as a Chrome (Manifest V3) extension and targets Chrome and Chromium-based browsers.

Is it on the Chrome Web Store?

Not yet. Install it from source as an unpacked extension — see Installation.

Does it collect my data?

No accounts, analytics, or tracking. Links stay local. The only network requests are for favicons and Google Fonts — details in Privacy.

How do I report a bug?

Open an issue at github.com/gautamkaran/SaveBuddy/issues. For security issues, see Security.

Can I contribute?

Yes — see Contributing or the CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repo.
