Send Anything to Your Board: The Baton Board Chrome Extension
Half of staying organized is capture: getting the thing out of the page you're reading and into your system before it slips away. When you're working with AI tools, research, and documentation all day, that friction adds up. The Baton Board Chrome extension removes it — select text, right-click, and send it to your board as a task. No copy-paste dance, no switching apps.
And because Baton Board is local-first, what you capture goes to your board on your machine — not up to someone's cloud.
What the extension does
- Right-click to send. Highlight text on any page — a step from a tutorial, a line from an AI's answer, a quote from an article — right-click, and send it straight to Baton Board as a task.
- Capture AI output fast. When an AI hands you a checklist or a set of next steps, send it over and let Baton Board's bulk parsing turn each line into a task.
- Keep the source. Sent items can carry the page title or URL so you remember where it came from.
- Stays local. The extension talks to a local endpoint on your own machine (hosted by the desktop app or a local bridge), so your captures don't travel through the company's servers.
Why "send to board" matters for AI workflows
Baton Board is designed for the age of AI — a single board where what you do by hand and what your AI agents produce both land in the same place. The extension is the human-friendly half of that: when an AI suggests work in your browser, one right-click moves it into the board where you actually track it. (The machine-friendly half is the local MCP server, which lets AI agents read and write the same board directly.)
The result is a tight loop: read or generate something useful, capture it in a click, and it's waiting in your cockpit — tagged, ordered, and yours.
How capture fits the rest of Baton Board
Once an item is on your board, it's a real task: give it subtasks, a priority, a due date, and tags; drag it where it belongs; let it roll up into a goal or show on your calendar. The extension is just the on-ramp. The board does the rest — and an activity log shows what was added by hand, by paste, and by the extension, so you can see how work arrived.
Privacy by design
The extension follows the same rule as everything else in Baton Board: your data stays on your device. It sends to a local endpoint, not a remote server, and there's no account involved. Nothing you capture is stored by the company.
