+# Open in Knotchy (Chrome extension)
+
+Adds **Open in Knotchy** to the right-click menu of links in Chrome (and other Chromium
+browsers such as Edge, Brave and Arc).
+
+Chrome gives the macOS Services menu only a link's words, never its address, so Services
+can't open Chrome links in Knotchy. This extension hands the address to the Knotchy app
+through its `knotchy://open?url=…` URL scheme instead. It only passes on `http` and
+`https` links, and it needs no permission beyond adding the menu item.
+
+## Install
+
+1. Open `chrome://extensions` and turn on **Developer mode**.
+2. Click **Load unpacked** and choose this folder.
+3. Right-click any link and choose **Open in Knotchy**. The first time, Chrome asks
+   whether to open Knotchy; allow it.
+
+The Knotchy app must be installed.
+
+## Publishing
+
+[STORE.md](STORE.md) has everything the Chrome Web Store asks for: the package, listing text, graphics and privacy
+answers. Once the store assigns the item ID, set `ChromeExtension.storeURL` in the app and link the listing here.
