Atomic Clipper

Clip any web content into a local research library. Export to Markdown for your research projects.

Atomic Clipper Clip any web content into a local research library, then export it as Markdown for your research projects. --- How it works Click the toolbar icon, then click Start Clipping. A crosshair cursor activates on the page — hover over any element to highlight it, click to select it. An inline save panel appears where you assign a category and save. For articles and long-form pages, click Clip Article instead. Atomic Clipper automatically selects the main content block and opens the save panel — no pointing required. --- Your research library Every clip is saved to a local library, grouped by category. Open it anytime from the popup footer. When you're ready to use your clips, hit Export .md next to any category — one Markdown file downloads per category, ready to use in any research workflow. --- The export format Markdown is a widely used plain-text format that preserves document structure — titles, headings, paragraphs, blockquotes — exactly as the original source intended. No proprietary format, no lock-in. The exported files open directly in AI tools, note-taking apps, and any text editor that reads Markdown. --- Privacy and permissions Everything stays on your device. Atomic Clipper uses Chrome's local storage — no account, no cloud sync, no network requests of any kind. You can delete individual clips or all clips at any time from the library. Three permissions, nothing else: - activeTab — activates only on the current tab when you click the icon - scripting — injects the element picker into the page - storage — saves your clips locally No host permissions. No access to your browsing history or cookies. --- Open source MIT license. All source code is on GitHub — the picker, extractor, storage, and export logic are all visible and auditable. --- Known limitations - Cannot activate on browser system pages (chrome://, about:, extension pages) - Does not capture images inline — image URLs are stored as metadata only - May not clip correctly behind login walls or paywalls
