Markdown Clipper

About

Markdown Clipper is a clean, offline-first tool designed to easily capture web page articles and convert them into local Markdown files (.md), complete with structured YAML front matter metadata. Perfect for developers, researchers, and writers who build personal knowledge bases in Obsidian, Logseq, Notion, or Hugo.

Key Features:
- Complete Offline Parsing: All HTML-to-Markdown conversions happen entirely on your machine.
- Interactive Preview: See the exact Markdown and front matter structure update in real-time as you type.
- Clean DOM Mode: Automatically strip distracting headers, footers, sidebars, and navigation links.
- Selection Support: Highlight a paragraph or section to clip only what matters.
- Custom YAML Templates: Define and edit your own YAML schema placeholders right from the settings tab.
- Multiple Filename Patterns: Format downloaded files by Title, Date, Domain, or combinations.

1. Navigate to any article or webpage.
2. Click the extension icon in your toolbar, or right-click the page and select "Clip Page to Markdown".
3. Add custom tags or modify the auto-extracted title and description in the popup.
4. Click "Download Markdown". The file will download immediately.
