SourceDrop makes it easy to capture selected text along with the page title, URL, and date, so you can revisit your sources and reuse what you've discovered without building a complicated bibliography. ## Built for people who work with information Whether you're researching a topic, checking a claim, preparing an article, studying a subject, or collecting ideas for a project, SourceDrop helps you keep track of where information came from. ## Simple workflow 1. Select text on a webpage. 2. Right-click and choose **“Save quote with source.”** 3. Find your saved clips whenever you need them. 4.
