I read more interesting things than I share. The bottleneck isn't time — it's tab-switching to Canva. So I built the tool that lives in the tab I'm already in.
Made solo in Vietnam. ~467 KB zipped. No accounts. No telemetry. No AI bill.
Any text on any page — an article, a tweet, a doc, an email.
The editor opens in a new tab with the panel already made. The selected text is your headline.
Cycle seven risograph templates and palettes, toggle halftone, drop a background image on any panel — or switch to 4:5 Portrait for the 1080 × 1350 format.
Comment, Follow, Save, Repost, DM, Link — or your own words. Preset icons, top / center / bottom anchors plus a nudge slider, baked into every export.
Hit Share and write your caption right in the preview — before you even connect LinkedIn. A single image on Free, the native multi-image carousel on Pro. No re-uploading, no Canva tab.
Real carousels — captured, styled, and exported with the extension itself. Swipe through.
Tools should live where you already are.Canva and Figma are great, but they're destinations. You have to leave what you're reading to use them. That gap kills the share impulse for me, and I bet it does for you.
$9.99 once, not $15/month forever.Carousel-making isn't a SaaS-pricing category. It's a thing you do when you read something good. A coffee and a tip — not a subscription.
Your work belongs in your browser.No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry. Your quotes and panels live in chrome.storage.local. Nothing leaves your machine unless you ask it to — posting to LinkedIn (via LinkedIn's official API) or activating your license. LinkedIn sign-in runs through OAuth and a tiny server-side relay, so your password never touches the extension.
No AI in the output.Cliptych doesn't write your headlines or rewrite your quotes. You pick the words. The tool does the layout.
