Clipstash — Save Pages as Clean Markdown

About

Save anything you read as clean, durable Markdown — and keep it in a fast, searchable library that lives on your computer. No account. No upload. No subscription.

Clipstash turns the page you're reading into a tidy file you actually own:

Clip it your way
- Article — a Readability-style extractor pulls just the story and strips the nav, ads, popups and sidebars.
- Full page — keep everything when you want it.
- Selection — clip only the text you highlighted (right-click or the popup).

Clean Markdown, done right
- Faithful HTML to Markdown: headings, bold/italic, links, images, lists, quotes, code blocks and tables.
- Optional YAML frontmatter (title, source, author, date, tags) for Obsidian, Logseq and every PKM.
- Links and images are rewritten to absolute URLs so nothing breaks later.

A real local library
- Full-text search across titles, text, sites and tags.
- Filter by site or tag, sort by date / title / reading time, and star favorites.
- Every clip shows its excerpt, word count and reading time at a glance.

Read & highlight
- A built-in distraction-free reader (light or sepia, adjustable text size).
- Select any passage to highlight it in four colors, add a note, and include your highlights in exports.

Export anywhere — and never lose a clip
- Copy or download as Markdown, HTML or plain text.
- One tap to send to Obsidian (via the obsidian:// link — no extra permission).
- Bulk-export your whole library to a single Markdown file.
- Every clip is saved to your library first, so a clip is never silently lost.

Private by design
Clipstash makes zero network requests. It asks only for activeTab + scripting (to read the page you click Clip on), storage (your local library) and contextMenus (the right-click items). No "read your data on all websites," no host permissions, no account, no remote code, no tracking. Your clips never leave your device.
