v0.1.0ProductivitySave any page as clean Markdown
Highlights, tags & a searchable local library — 100% local.
Free · Local-first · No account required
Save anything you read as clean, durable Markdown — and keep it in a fast, searchable library that lives on your computer. No account. No upload. No subscription.
Clip it your way: a Readability-style extractor pulls just the article (no nav, ads or sidebars), or keep the full page, or clip only your selection. Faithful HTML→Markdown keeps headings, links, images, lists, quotes, code blocks and tables, with optional YAML frontmatter for Obsidian, Logseq and every PKM.
A real local library with full-text search across titles, text, sites and tags; filters, sorting and favorites; plus a built-in distraction-free reader where you can highlight in four colours and add notes.
Export anywhere — copy or download as Markdown, HTML or plain text, send to Obsidian in one tap, or bulk-export your whole library. Private by design: zero network requests, no host permissions, no account, no tracking. Your clips never leave your device.

Privacy
Why each permission is needed
Clipstash asks for the minimum and explains every one.
activeTabClipstash reads the page only when you invoke it (toolbar click, the Alt+Shift+S shortcut, or a right-click menu item). activeTab grants one-time access to that single active tab on your gesture — there is no background access and no access to your other tabs.
scriptingRuns a small, bundled extraction script on the page you clicked Clip on to read its article HTML and your current text selection, so it can be converted to Markdown. All scripts are bundled in the extension; no remote code is loaded or executed.
storageSaves your clip library, highlights, tags and preferences locally via chrome.storage.local. Nothing is uploaded or sent anywhere.
contextMenusAdds the right-click “Clip selection to Clipstash” and “Clip page to Clipstash” menu items.
