Chrome extension

Install Chrome Companion and connect it to a running Starcat with a local token

Purpose

The Chrome extension reads on-device notes and Health on GitHub repo pages. It does not store the Stars library. Starcat must be running.

Settings → Integrations: Browser Plugin port and token; Chrome extension enabled

How to install

1. Starcat is installed and running
2. Settings → Integrations: Local API key and Browser Plugin (port, token)
3. Install the Chrome extension

Repo / release notes: starcat-chrome-plugin. If it is on the Chrome Web Store, prefer the site or README install link.

Quitting the app breaks the inject. Launch Starcat, then reload GitHub.

Verify on any starred GitHub repo page. The enhance block should appear (features). If not: extension permission, port / token, app running.

Notes

A leaked token is a local API credential (lower risk while bound to 127.0.0.1; still do not screenshot Settings into a chat). Safari: Safari extension.
