Install
- Download the
.zipabove and unzip it to a folder you'll keep around (e.g.~/Applications/knowstash). Avoid the Desktop or Downloads — you'll want a stable path for updates. - Open in Chrome (Brave / Edge / Arc work too).
- Enable Developer mode (toggle at the top right).
- Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
- Pin the extension to your toolbar (puzzle-piece icon → pin).
Updating to a new version
- Download the new
.zipabove. - Unzip it and replace the contents of your existing KnowStash folder with the new files (keep the folder path the same so your extension data is preserved).
- Open and click the ↻ refresh button on the KnowStash card.
Forgot where you unzipped it? On with Developer mode on, the KnowStash card shows a Loaded from path — that's the folder to overwrite. If you can't find it, the cleanest reset is: click Remove on the card, then follow the install steps above with the new .zip (note: this clears any local extension data).
Chrome may show a one-time popup at startup saying "Disable developer mode extensions" — you can dismiss it. This is normal for extensions installed outside the Chrome Web Store.
