What you need
1. Get the files
- Download the ZIP
Or on GitHub: green Code button → Download ZIP.
- Unzip somewhere permanent
Chrome loads it from that folder forever. Move it and Puchne stops.
- Find the folder with
manifest.jsonin itZIPs often nest: use the inner
puchne-main.
Prefer one command, and easy updates later?
git clone https://github.com/arshit09/puchne.git2. Load into Chrome
- Paste
chrome://extensions/in the address barWeb pages aren't allowed to link there.
- Turn on Developer mode
Top right. Three buttons appear.
- Load unpacked → pick your folder
The one with
manifest.json. - The card appears
“Puchne — Ask Every AI at Once”, 1.0.6.
3. Pin the icon
Puzzle-piece icon → find Puchne → click the pin.
4. Your first send
- Press Ctrl + Shift + X
On any ordinary page.

Shortcuts
| Does | Keys |
|---|---|
| Open Puchne | Ctrl + Shift + X |
| Ask about the selection | Ctrl + Shift + S |
Rebind at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. macOS uses Control.
Updating
cd puchne
git pullThen hit the reload arrow on the Puchne card. On the ZIP route: replace the folder's contents in place, same path, reload.
Settings and history live in Chrome, not the folder — they survive.
Removing
chrome://extensions/ → Remove. That revokes every site permission and deletes stored settings and history.
Browsers
| Browser | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome 114+ | Supported | Built and tested here |
| Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi | Should work | Same folder. Sidebar docking needs that browser to support Chrome's side-panel API; overlay and popup always work |
| Firefox, Safari | No | Different extension APIs |
| Chrome on phones | No | No extensions there |
For maintainers
Never zip the repo root — it holds the promo project and this site too.
pwsh tools/package.ps1Writes dist/puchne-<version>.zip with only what manifest.json references, and fails if anything else gets in.
If it goes wrong
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| “Manifest file is missing or unreadable” | Wrong folder — pick the one with manifest.json |
| Shortcut does nothing | Conflict, or a page extensions can't touch. Check chrome://extensions/shortcuts |
| Opens but doesn't type | Fix the selector |
| Extension vanished | The folder moved. Load it again |
