Auto-Save on Open
Section titled “Auto-Save on Open”When you open the extension popup, Teak automatically saves the current page. The popup briefly shows the save status, then closes itself:
- Adding to Teak… — save in progress
- Added to Teak! — saved successfully
- Already saved — duplicate detected, nothing to do
- Can’t save this page — restricted URL (e.g.
chrome://,about:,file://)
Context Menu
Section titled “Context Menu”Right-click anywhere on a page to access quick-save actions:
| Menu item | What it saves |
|---|---|
| Save Page to Teak | The current URL |
| Save Text to Teak | The selected text (creates a text card) |
Context menu saves are available on all standard web pages.
Social Media Inline Save Buttons
Section titled “Social Media Inline Save Buttons”On supported sites, Teak injects a save button directly into each post or story. You can save individual items without leaving the feed.
| Platform | Supported content |
|---|---|
| instagram.com | Posts and Reels |
| pinterest.com | Pins |
| x.com | Posts (tweets) — saved with tweet text, author, and attached images or videos |
| news.ycombinator.com | Story links (saves the outbound article URL) |
| sidebar.io | Story links |
| webdesignernews.com | Story links |
| heydesigner.com | Story links |
Inline save buttons appear automatically once you are signed in to the extension. Each saved post is deduplicated — saving the same post twice will not create a duplicate card.
Free Tier Limit
Section titled “Free Tier Limit”When you reach your free plan card limit, the extension popup shows an upgrade prompt instead of saving. Click Upgrade to Pro to open Teak Settings.
Sign In
Section titled “Sign In”If you are not signed in, the popup shows Login and Create Account buttons. Clicking either opens the Teak web app in a new tab to complete sign-in.
