Memos Web Clipper

Save pages, selections, and images directly to your Memos instance. Available for Chromium-based browsers and Firefox.

Install

• Chrome Web Store
• Firefox Add-ons

Manual installation

Versioned packages and checksums are available from GitHub Releases. Store installation is recommended for automatic updates.

For Chromium-based browsers:

1. Download and extract memos-web-clipper-chromium-v<version>.zip.
2. Open the browser's extensions page, such as chrome://extensions or edge://extensions.
3. Enable Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select the extracted directory.

For Firefox, download memos-web-clipper-firefox-v<version>.xpi and open it with Firefox. GitHub release XPIs are the same Mozilla-signed packages published on Firefox Add-ons.

To verify a download on Linux, run sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS in the directory containing the downloaded package. Do not rely on manually installed packages receiving browser-store-managed updates; check GitHub Releases for new versions.

Features

• Capture the page title, URL, and readable description.
• Convert selected text, links, lists, code, and tables to Markdown.
• Upload selected images as Memos attachments.
• Review and edit every clip before saving.
• Save as Private, Protected, or Public.
• Customize the clip format with a local template.
• Quick-save selected text or images from the context menu.

The default template keeps the captured content first and adds a link back to the source. Empty fields are removed automatically.

How to use

1. Open the extension settings and choose a connection method:
   • usememos.com (Recommended): sign in, then connect an instance. Your connection information is available after signing in on another device.
   • Direct connection: enter your Memos instance URL and a personal access token. No usememos.com account is required, and the connection stays in this browser.
2. Open the extension on a page.
3. Review the captured content, choose its visibility, and save.

For a direct connection, create a PAT in your Memos user settings at /setting#access-token. The clipper tests the instance URL, supported Memos version, and token before saving the connection. The saved token is never displayed again in the extension UI.

You can also right-click selected text or an image and choose Save selection to Memos. Context-menu saves are always private.

Browser-owned pages, such as extension stores and internal browser URLs, may block page capture. The clipper falls back to the page title and URL when available.
