Quote carousel.

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. ~459 KB zipped. No accounts. No telemetry. No AI bill.

Two clicks. No tab-switching.

Highlight

Any text on any page — an article, a tweet, a doc, an email.

2

Right-click → Add to Cliptych

The editor opens in a new tab with the panel already made. The selected text is your headline.

Edit. Export.

Cycle seven risograph templates, eight palettes, halftone on/off — or switch to 4:5 Portrait for the 1080 × 1350 format. Drop a background image on any panel: upload from disk or paste from clipboard, set focal point, opacity, scale, and palette tint. Type your caption in the Publish section and copy it to clipboard. Hit Export PDF. Drag it into LinkedIn. That's the whole job.

Why this exists

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 Cliptych server, no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry. Your quotes and panels live in chrome.storage.local. The only network call is to verify your license key when you upgrade.

No AI in the output. Cliptych doesn't write your headlines or rewrite your quotes. You pick the words. The tool does the layout.

One price. Paid once.
