Anahera Aloft Chrome Extension + Canvas · Quick Reference

Extension — Capture
Capture Methods
right-click
Add to Anahera — manual capture. Works on any page. Saves the page URL, title, and favicon. Lands on the canvas immediately (not via inbox). Add your own note on the card.
feather toolbar
Opens the side panel. Does not capture the page.
Auto-capture (30 s dwell) is the recommended primary method — captured pages queue in the inbox for review before joining domain clusters. Right-click is for immediate, one-off captures.
Panel Controls

Auto-capture active. Pages you spend 30 s+ on are queued in the badge counter for inbox approval.

Canvas — Concepts
Artifact Heat
cold Not visited recently — dim, translucent, drifts outward
warm Recently active — saturated card with a soft glow
hot Just touched — vivid with a pulsing ring, pulled toward cluster center
Heat decays automatically. Revisiting reheats. Heat decay speed is adjustable in Settings.
Clusters & Nodes
cluster
Emergent group — forms around pages visited near each other in time. Color-coded, named.
node
User-placed landmark with name + emoji. Diamond → circle as clusters attach. Press N to place.
filament
Tether from artifact to cluster center. Shifts color/width under stress.
edge
Soft color fill marking cluster territory — rendered, never placed.
Timeline & Wayfinding
chrono slider
Bottom timeline — drag to scrub back through 30 min of canvas history. Releases back to live.
wayfinding bar
"Jump to…" at top — searches nodes, clusters, and page titles. Nodes appear first. Click to fly there.
inbox
Captured pages waiting for triage. Open with Shift+I. Approve sends to canvas; dismiss removes.
Canvas — Zoom & Detail
Far out
Colored dots + field topology. See the overall shape of your work at a glance.
Working range
Cards compact to cluster tag + title. Navigate between clusters.
Close
Full cards with title, date, favicon. Card height animates smoothly.
Maximum
Note strip appears beneath the card — your own note, or hover to add one.
Nodes never fade at any zoom level — their emoji and label hold their size and remain readable whether you're looking at the whole map or a single card. Cluster labels sit quieter but are always present.
