About Markdown Page Downloader

Markdown Page Downloader converts any webpage to clean Markdown format and saves it to your computer or directly into your Obsidian vault. HOW IT WORKS • Click the extension icon to download the current page or open the popup menu • Enable "One-click download" in settings to download instantly on icon click • Right-click on any page or link and select "Download this page as Markdown" • Use the "Download as MD" button that appears next to search results SMART CONTENT EXTRACTION The extension intelligently identifies the main content of a page, filtering out navigation, ads, sidebars, and other clutter. It extracts metadata like title, author, and publication date. FEATURES • One-click download mode for instant page downloads • Three ways to download: icon, context menu, or search result button • Choose between .md or .txt file format • Set a custom download folder • Visual feedback shows download progress • Works offline (no external servers) • Dark mode support PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro to unlock additional power features: • Save directly to your Obsidian Vault. Two transports: the "Local REST API with MCP" community plugin (recommended, with folder and filename templates, YAML frontmatter, and collision handling) or the obsidian:// URI scheme as a no-plugin fallback. • YouTube transcript downloads. Clean Markdown transcripts with separate toggles for timestamp labels and per-segment video links. Disable the links to shrink the file by about 60 % when feeding transcripts to an LLM. • Website crawl: download an entire website (up to 1000 pages) • Batch download: paste a list of URLs to download multiple pages • Download all open browser tabs as Markdown • "Download All" button to bulk-download an entire search result page • Download buttons in additional search engines (the supported engines are listed and individually toggleable in the options page) • Download icons next to internal and external links on any webpage • Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+M on Windows and Linux, Cmd+Shift+M on Mac) • TXT and HTML export formats • Custom download location PRIVACY This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All processing happens locally in your browser. The Obsidian integration only talks to your own local Obsidian over loopback (127.0.0.1 or localhost). The host field is pinned to those addresses, so the API key cannot be redirected to a remote server.
