What is memos-web-clipper?

Memos Web Clipper is a Chrome browser extension for saving web content directly into Memos, a self-hosted note-taking service. Inspired by the Obsidian Web Clipper, it lets you capture pages or selected text in Markdown format with one click, without leaving the page you are reading. The extension offers two main clipping modes. Full-page clipping automatically extracts the main article content from a webpage, filters out ads, sidebars, and navigation noise, and converts it to clean Markdown. Selected text clipping lets you highlight any text on the page, then save just that portion through either the extension panel or a right-click context menu option, which saves silently without opening any panel at all. When clipping, images in the content are automatically uploaded to your Memos instance's resource storage rather than being linked from the original source. This prevents the images from breaking if the original URL disappears. After a successful clip, the newly created memo automatically opens in a background tab so you can review it. Each clip can have custom tags attached (the default tag is #web-clip) and a visibility setting of private, protected, or public. The extension connects to your self-hosted Memos server using the v1 REST API and requires an access token from your Memos account settings. It is compatible with Memos v0.28.0 and later. The clipping panel can be opened with the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+M on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+M on Windows. The Markdown conversion is handled by the Turndown library. The project is written in JavaScript and released under the MIT license.
