Magpiary

Save the page you are on, or one post from a feed, to your Magpiary library on this Mac. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Magpiary keeps the things you save online in a searchable library on your own Mac. This extension is the quick way in from Chrome. Click the Magpiary button, press Command+Shift+S, or right-click a page or link and choose "Save to Magpiary". The link goes straight to the Magpiary app on your computer. You can pick a board and add a note first. On a page with many posts, press Command+Shift+P and click the one post you mean. Only that post's link is saved. To keep a page exactly as you are reading it, tick "Save what I see" before saving. The extension then also sends the page's text and pictures, as they appear on your screen, and a picture of the visible part of the screen, to the Magpiary app on your Mac, which keeps a clean reading copy. It is off until you tick it, for that one page. How it works - Needs the free Magpiary app for Mac (magpiary.com). Without it the extension has nowhere to save. - Pair once: Magpiary shows a one-time code, you paste it into the extension. - Links are cleaned of tracking before they are sent (share IDs, utm_ and similar). - The Magpiary app then keeps your own copy of what you save, on your computer, for your personal use. You are responsible for following the terms of the sites you save from. - Everything is sent to the Magpiary app on this computer over the local address (127.0.0.1). Nothing is sent to us or to any server. No accounts, no analytics, no ads. - The extension never reads cookies, passwords or your browsing history, and it makes no requests to the sites you visit. It reads the text and pictures of a page only when you tick "Save what I see" and save. It acts only when you click. Magpiary is open source (MIT): github.com/magpiary/magpiary
