GUIDES AND STORIES

Start with a route. See where it leads.

A two-minute setup guide, five illustrated stories, and a ready-to-load starter pack for the searches people use every day.

01 / STORIES

Five people. Five shortcuts.

Illustrated examples of how a familiar word can remove a little friction. These are scenarios, not testimonials.

The recipe without the treasure hunt.

Grandma keeps the family’s tomato soup recipe behind one word, so nobody has to remember which folder or message it lives in.

02 / TWO-MINUTE GUIDE

Your first route, end to end.

Install first or read first. Both paths arrive at the same place: your first working keyword.

PATH A / INSTALLATION

Add Wyrd to Chrome

Pin the extension, then save the page you are on as your first keyword with one click on the icon.

  1. 01Add the extension
  2. 02Pin Wyrd to the toolbar
  3. 03Name one destination
PATH B / TWO-MINUTE GUIDE

See the whole loop

Three moves: choose a word, connect a destination, enter it from the address bar.

  1. 01Choose a word you already know
  2. 02Paste a page, or an address with %s where your words go
  3. 03Type >, a space and the word, and arrive

Detailed guide

CREATE

On a page you want back, click Wyrd’s icon: the page’s address is filled in, pick a keyword from the suggestions or type your own, and press Save.

For a search, put %s where the words go (https://portal.example/customers/%s). %1, %2 take one word each.

TEST

In the address bar, type >, press Space, then the keyword. Suggestions appear as you type.

A keyword that does not exist says so, lists the closest ones and offers to create it. Anything else falls through to your usual web search.

ORGANIZE

Give keywords a category such as Work or Health. > /home opens a directory of every keyword you can type, grouped by category.

For family or team keywords, subscribe to a shared list in the manager. Your own keywords always win.

Permissions. A new install sees a page only when you click Wyrd’s icon on it, to fill in the Save box. It can’t read your other tabs or your history. Collections, Define & translate and history suggestions are off at first; switching one on asks Chrome for its permission, and Chrome shows you what it is. Wyrd has no server and no account; your keywords stay in your own Chrome. Read the privacy policy

03 / STARTER PACK

Five searches, ready to load.

A real Wyrd starter pack, in the same JSON shape as the extension’s “Start from a pack…” loader. Review the five entries, then load them into Wyrd.
