  description

  Bookmark as Markdown captures the current page as a Markdown file with YAML front matter. Save it directly to your downloads folder, or send it to your own server.
  
  Each saved file contains a front matter block with the following fields:
  
  title: "Page title"
  url: "https://example.com/article"
  description: "Page description from Open Graph"
  image: "https://example.com/og-image.jpg"
  tags: [tags from article:tag meta properties]
  customTags: [tags you add before saving]
  
  The file body is the article content converted to clean Markdown using Mozilla Readability (to strip navigation, ads, and boilerplate) and Turndown (HTML to Markdown conversion).
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  
  Click the toolbar icon on any web page. A popup appears showing a preview card with the page thumbnail, domain, title, and description. Optionally add or remove custom tags using the tag input. Click Save. The file is saved and the popup closes automatically.
  
  SAVE MODES
  
  By default the extension downloads the Markdown file directly to your browser's downloads folder — no account, no server, no setup required.
  
  If you prefer to send files to your own backend, switch to server mode in the Options page. Enter the server URL and the extension will verify the connection by checking the server's /health endpoint. If the server responds correctly, the options page shows the server version so you can confirm you are connected to the right instance. Server mode sends a PUT request with the file as multipart/form-data.
  
  WHERE IT WORKS
  
  The toolbar icon is active on any HTTP or HTTPS page. On browser-internal pages such as the new tab page, settings pages, and extension pages the icon appears grayed out and cannot be used.
  
  WHO THIS IS FOR
  
  If you run a personal knowledge base in Obsidian, Logseq, or a similar tool that reads from a local file system, this extension gives you a one-click path from any web page to a structured Markdown file ready to drop into your vault.
  
  In server mode, the PUT request can feed directly into an ingestion pipeline — a local script, a home server, or an automation tool like n8n or Make — so saved pages are automatically processed, tagged, or routed without manual steps.
  
  It is not a general-purpose bookmarking tool and has no built-in storage or sync.

  A one-click web clipper for Markdown-based knowledge tools. Save any webpage as a clean, readable Markdown file with YAML front matter — ready to drop into Obsidian, Logseq, or any local vault. No account, no sync service, no setup beyond installing the extension.
  
  Each saved file contains a front matter block with the following fields:
