Installation
Chrome / Edge / Brave (Chromium)
chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions / brave://extensions).Firefox
Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click "Load Temporary Add-on", and select the manifest.json from the extracted folder. The extension uses standard Web Extension APIs and works out of the box.
Safari (macOS & iOS) — 3 Options
Apple provides a cloud service that converts your extension automatically. No Xcode installation needed.
- Go to App Store Connect (requires free Apple Developer account)
- Create a new app → Safari Extension
- Upload the extension ZIP file — Apple converts it automatically
- Test via TestFlight or publish to the App Store
The download includes a ready-made Xcode project in the safari-project/ folder. No converter tool needed.
- Install Xcode from the Mac App Store (free)
- Extract the ZIP and run:
./convert-to-safari.sh→ choose option 2 - Open the Xcode project, set your team, Build & Run
- Safari → Settings → Extensions → Enable BioClaritas
Run ./convert-to-safari.sh → choose option 3. Uses Apple's safari-web-extension-converter to generate a fresh project. Requires the full Xcode app (not just CLI tools).
For iOS/iPadOS: Build the Xcode project targeting an iOS device, then enable in Settings → Safari → Extensions.
How It Works
Auto-Login
Sign into bioclaritas.com once — the extension detects your session and stays logged in automatically.
Browse
Visit any page — PubMed, GitHub, YouTube, Wikipedia, journals, or any website.
One Click
Click the BioClaritas icon. It extracts the title, authors, DOI, and metadata automatically based on the content type.
Research
Citations appear in your project instantly. Screen, extract data, run meta-analyses, and write manuscripts.
Universal Citation
Cite any resource type: journal articles, preprints, software, code, datasets, websites, videos, patents, clinical trials, Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, books, theses, and reports.
Smart Auto-Detection
Uses 11 extraction strategies including Highwire Press, Dublin Core, PRISM, JSON-LD, RDFa, COinS, and publisher-specific scrapers for 25+ academic publishers.
Persistent Login
Log in once and stay logged in. The extension detects your bioclaritas.com session, refreshes tokens automatically, and remembers your credentials.
