Newspaper History Helper by webdev

Newspaper History Helper is a local-first productivity tool built for historians and genealogists. It automatically detects articles on Veridian-based newspaper archives and modern news sites to generate instant citations (Chicago, MLA, EE). You can log sources with one click, add custom notes, and export your session trail to HTML, Markdown, or CSV. Built with total efficiency and privacy in mind, it works entirely offline—your user data never leaves your device. It features a built-in reader mode button to remove distracting page clutter for a clean reading experience, paired with a seamless dark mode option. Stop breaking your research momentum to format footnotes and build a perfect paper trail today.

Note: While this tool includes manual overrides, automatic metadata detection is fine-tuned specifically for Veridian catalog layouts. Detection compatibility may vary on some websites.
