Bookmark as Markdown

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: --- title: I Made Eustace... But He Looks WAY Too Real url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeVjhSYMJTo&t=2s description: In this video, I take Eustace Bagge from Courage the Cowardly Dog… and turn him into something way more disturbing.What would Eustace actually look like in r... image: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KeVjhSYMJTo/maxresdefault.jpg tags: [moore-art, eustace, cowardly dog, clay] customTags: [clay, inspiring, hobbies] --- 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). 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. 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. Server requirements and integration details are documented in the project README on GitHub: https://github.com/orestes/extension-bookmark-markdown 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.
