Install Discerned
in about a minute.

Discerned isn't on the Chrome Web Store yet, so you install it directly from us. It's the same one-time process developers use — download the package, then load it into your browser.

Download extension (.zip)Chrome · Brave · Edge · any Chromium browser

How to install

  1. Download and unzip

    Download discerned-extension.zip and unzip it to a folder you'll keep — Chrome loads the extension from that folder every time it starts, so don't delete it afterward.

  2. Open the extensions page

    In Chrome (or Brave, Edge, or any Chromium browser) go to chrome://extensions — type or paste that into the address bar and press Enter.

  3. Turn on Developer mode

    Flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right corner of the extensions page. This is what lets you load an unpacked extension.

  4. Load unpacked

    Click Load unpacked and select the folder you unzipped in step 1 (the one containing manifest.json). Discerned will appear in your extensions list.

  5. Pin it and start clipping

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin Discerned so it's one click away. Select some text on any page, open the extension, and clip it. Your clips show up on My Clips.

Good to know

  • Your clips are stored locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded until you choose to cast it.
  • Chrome may show a “Developer mode extensions” reminder on startup — that's normal for unpacked extensions and safe to dismiss.
  • Keep the unzipped folder where it is. If you move or delete it, remove and re-add the extension from that new location.
