Highlight any text on your Mac and tap "Clip Selection" on NinoPad to grab the quote instantly.

2. Add Personal Commentary & Critical Thoughts

3. Auto-Preserve Source URLs & Citations

NinoPad automatically binds the active web URL or document filename to the snippet card for permanent reference traceability.
