# Markdown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text.

Why it's different
You've tried a clipper before.
It broke the tables.
Most clippers flatten the parts that matter — tables collapse, code loses its language, math turns to broken text. Clipper keeps them intact, converted right in your browser. Nothing uploaded.
Tables survive
Wikipedia infoboxes with rowspan / colspan come through as real GFM tables — not a wall of run-together text.
Math stays math
KaTeX and MathML render to $…$ / $$…$$ so equations land readable in your notes, not as broken glyphs.
Code keeps its language
Fenced blocks keep their language hint and indentation — ```ts stays ```ts, never collapsed to plain text.
Your page never leaves your machine
AI clippers ship every page to their servers to "clean" it. Clipper never does — extraction runs in your browser, on the live DOM. Nothing is uploaded to be processed and sent back.
One keystroke
Bind a shortcut and clip without touching the mouse. The popup remembers your last destination and format.
Frontmatter that's yours
Title, URL, date, source, tags — emitted as YAML you control, ready for Dataview queries the moment it lands.
What's free — all of it
Five destinations. Zero accounts.
Every destination below ships in the free edition. Pick where a clip lands; Clipper remembers it next time.
| Destination | Works offline | Best for |
|---|---|---|
|
Local folder
File System Access API |
Yes | Obsidian & Logseq vaults. Files write straight into the folder you pick once — no sync server in the loop. |
|
Clipboard
System clipboard |
Yes | Piping into an LLM. Clip an article and paste clean Markdown straight into a ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini context window. |
|
.md download
Browser download |
Yes | One-off saves. A plain .md file in your Downloads — drag it anywhere, archive it, send it on. |
|
Obsidian
obsidian:// URI |
Yes | A specific vault + folder. Hands the clip to Obsidian via its URI scheme — append, create, or route by template. |
|
GitHub Gist Pro
Authenticated API |
Needs network | Shareable, versioned snippets. Pushes the clip to a secret or public Gist — the one destination that, by nature, talks to a server. |
Four of five destinations work with your network cable unplugged. Only Gist — a publishing target — needs to reach out.
The fidelity problem
See exactly what survives.
Toggle between how a clip looks rendered and the raw Markdown source it writes to disk. Both are lossless.

Common usage examples:

Optional · one-time
If you live in your vault all day.
The free edition is the whole product. Pro is a tip for the power-user minority who clip dozens of pages a day — and a way to keep the lights on.
- GitHub Gist destination — push clips to secret or public Gists, versioned.
- Co-located images — download referenced images next to the
.md, with rewritten relative links. - Unlimited batch — clip every open tab in one shot; free caps the batch size.
- Multi-vault routing — keep separate folders per project and switch between them.
Reference-mode images don't render in macOS Preview — switch to Base64 inline if you need fully-offline files. We'd rather tell you than surprise you.

Honest by construction
Open where it counts.
No analytics, no telemetry
Clipper makes no network calls except the destination you choose. There's no usage pixel, no error beacon, no "anonymous" stats. Verify it in the source.
MIT-licensed free edition
The free edition is open source under MIT. Under the hood: Defuddle extraction + Turndown/GFM conversion — the same open-source engines, audited in our source. Read it, fork it, see exactly what touches the page you're clipping.

We document the sharp edges — reference vs. inline images, what each destination can and can't do offline — instead of hiding them behind a "Pro" wall.
Reviews · TBD
The extension is pending its first Chrome Web Store review cycle. When real ratings and quotes exist, they'll live here — we won't invent testimonials to fill the space.
