See JQ in action — select text, click the sparkle, get a new perspective in seconds.
Four modes. Four perspectives.
Every mode gives you a different lens on the same text.
Tech layoffs article on TechCrunch or Ars Technica. Select a paragraph about mass layoffs. The reframe surfaces how layoff waves historically correlate with startup formation surges.
Rising energy costs article on AP News or similar. Select a paragraph about electricity bills climbing. Silver Lining surfaces growth of distributed solar, community microgrids, and DIY energy projects.
Education funding cuts article from a local news outlet. Select text about school budget cuts or STEM program defunding. "What Can I Do?" returns actions like contacting school board, volunteering with STEM programs, using free platforms like HiveJournal classrooms.
Ocean plastic / pollution article on National Geographic or The Guardian. "Who's Helping?" returns a rich list: The Ocean Cleanup, 4ocean, Surfrider Foundation, Break Free From Plastic, etc.
The internet shows you problems. JQ shows you possibility.
Most of what we read online is framed as crisis, conflict, or catastrophe. That framing isn't wrong — but it's incomplete. There are people working on these problems. There are silver linings worth knowing about. There are actions you can take. JQ surfaces what the headlines leave out.
And when you're ready to go from reading about solutions to building them, HiveJournal also hosts the Open Energy Experiments — 29 hands-on experiments derived from 768 publicly analyzed energy patents.

Quick Tasks
Manage your personal task list from any browser tab. Type natural language — JQ figures out the rest.
Add Tasks Anywhere
Click the JQ extension icon, type "Buy groceries tomorrow" or "Remind me to call mom on Friday", and JQ extracts the title, category, and due date automatically.
Read Your List
Ask "what's on my list?" or "show me blocked tasks" and JQ returns a summary right in the popup. No need to switch tabs.
Mark Done by Voice
Type "mark groceries done" and JQ finds the matching task and updates it. Same for delete, block, or status changes.
Synced With Google Calendar
Tasks with due dates automatically appear on your Google Calendar (if connected). Updates and deletions propagate. Connect from your tasks page.
On-Page Experience
JQ lives quietly in your browser and shows up exactly when you need it.
Selection Sparkle
Highlight any text and a ✨ sparkle button appears next to your selection. One click opens the JQ menu.
Right-Click Menu
Prefer the context menu? All four reframe modes are available with a right-click on any selected text.
Persistent JQ Bubble
A discreet JQ bubble lives in the bottom-right of every page. Click it any time to see all reframes from your session.
Inline Annotations
Reframed passages get a subtle highlight on the page. Click any annotation to expand the full perspective.
HiveJournal Integration
JQ is part of HiveJournal — every reframe is just a click away from your journal.
Save to Journal
Capture meaningful reframes directly into HiveJournal as journal entries, tagged for easy retrieval later.
Source URL Tracking
Saved reframes include the original page URL and headline so you can revisit the context whenever you want.
Powered by AI
JQ uses the same AI infrastructure that powers HiveJournal's journaling tools.
GPT-Powered Insights
JQ uses OpenAI's GPT models to generate thoughtful, factually grounded perspectives in real time.
Real Organizations
When you ask "Who's Helping?", JQ surfaces real, verifiable organizations working on the issue — not generic platitudes.
Actionable Suggestions
Action suggestions are tagged by difficulty (easy / medium / involved) so you can pick what fits your time.
Token Tracking
Usage is tracked against your HiveJournal account so you always know what AI is doing on your behalf.
Privacy & Control
JQ only does what you ask — no background tracking, no data sales.
No Background Reading
JQ never reads pages on its own. It only sends text to AI when you explicitly select it and click reframe.
Tied to Your Account
Reframes are tied to your HiveJournal account — only you (and people you choose to share with) can see them.
No Third-Party Tracking
JQ doesn't use analytics, fingerprinting, or third-party trackers. The extension talks to HiveJournal and nothing else.
Toggle On Demand
Turn off the floating button or inline annotations at any time from the extension popup settings.
From reframe to action
Light the Constellations with Open Energy Experiments
JQ surfaces what others are doing about an issue. Open Energy Experiments lets you do something yourself. It's a participatory science platform with 29 actionable experiments across 9 patterns derived from systematic analysis of 768 publicly available energy device patents.
Each experiment is a star. Each pattern is a constellation. Complete experiments to light up the sky and contribute to the open record of energy patent replication — no patents, no secrets, all findings published openly.
