Chrome Extension

The amem-extension is a Chrome MV3 side-panel extension for capturing web pages into your amem knowledge base.

Status

Bridge mode (Day 2 — in progress): extension talks to amem locally over WebSocket on port 7600. Extension captures → bridge forwards → amem stores.

Standalone mode (Day 3 — planned): when amem isn’t running, the extension falls back to Google Drive backup. Requires a new OAuth client (not shipped yet).

Install

The extension will be published on the Chrome Web Store as a new listing under the same developer account as crossmem (the v0 prototype). crossmem remains published and unchanged.

Published URL will appear here after approval.

Self-recording workflow

The extension ships with a self-recording skeleton: chrome.runtime.sendMessage({cmd: 'start_recording'}) triggers a tabCapture session via the offscreen document, producing amem-recording-<iso>.webm in Downloads.

This is how amem produces its own demo videos — the extension records itself being used. See Self-Recording Workflow.
