Usage

Floating Bubble

The floating bubble is the quickest way to use ClawSide. Select any text on a webpage, and after ~250ms a small bubble appears above your selection.

Bubble buttons:

• 🌐 Translate — Translate selected text
• 📄 Summarize — Summarize the current page
• 💬 Ask — Ask a question about the content

Click any button to get results directly in a popup. Use the copy button to copy results.

Positioning

The bubble appears at the horizontal center of your selection, positioned below the text. If there’s not enough space below, it flips above instead.
