Capture web content to Amplenote
Amplecap helps capture the best of the internet into your Amplenote notes, to-do lists, and bullet lists.
This release includes the following capture types:
*Screenshot selection*
Pick an area of the page to capture, we'll also grab the URL of the page and any notes you want to store with it. All text in the screenshot can optionally be searched or pasted into your Amplenote notebook via built-in OCR.
*Page excerpt*
Drag to select quotes, phrases, or information you want to remember from any web page. A list of all quotations selected is captured by Amplecap for you to optionally edit before saving. The URL of the page and time of capture is automatically recorded to your note along with the list of citations.
*Full page capture*
Capture the entire scrollable contents of the current web page. We perform two passes of the page to ensure that dynamically loading content will be loaded & visible in your full page screenshot.
*Quick Note*
If you want to capture a to-do item not necessarily related to the page you're browsing, and send it to your Amplenote to-do list without opening the app.
*URL*
Capture the URL of the current page -- usually in a to-do item for later follow up, or as part of a bullet list of bookmarks to assemble on a particular topic.
All of these types of content can be captured into the body of a note, a bullet item, or a to-do item.
You can also insert the captured content into a new note or existing note. New for this release, you can also capture your content to the copy buffer so you can paste it at a specific point in your note.
This release also introduces the ability to capture to Rich Footnotes, when you have "Clipboard" selected as the capture destination. This allows quickly snap screenshots or take excerpts, in a format that remembers the URL of the page and can easily be pasted into a research note or a to-do item.
Latest reviews
- (2023-10-23) John Smith: Useful but still too much friction. Look at TickTick/Todoist global hotkey, you press a button, type a few things, and boom you are done. There should be a default option at minimum for quick adding. I should be able to type "[] Buy Milk @Shopping in:today" and have a task added to my daily jot with a reference to my grocery list. even though now you can see how cumbersome even that is.
- (2023-07-28) Eddie R.: Extremely useful.
- (2023-06-24) david obront: this is an essential tool for my amplenote workflow being able to set a DEFAULT TAG would save tons of wasted keystrokes. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! also the "clip highlights" mode only grabs raw text, adding links and jpegs would be a nice improvement
- (2023-02-06) Adam Parmer: I'm pleased with the Amplecap launch it is a great extension onto my Amplenote workflow. The Omnicapture is a huge time saver for me. The future is bright at Amplenote.
- (2022-11-23) Gabriel de Matos: It's not working for bookmark, an error appears "Failed to capture" in any page. :/
- (2022-03-23) Benjamin Metcalfe: I really want to like it but the text I write in the extension doesn't get appended to a note I already had created for that page even though its selected. I wrote an extensive note on the page and clicked capture, only the name of the page was captured — again.
- (2021-10-19) Justin Weckhorst: Tremendous addition to my workflow. Really helpful to be able to seamlessly capture and incorporate web content into my notes. This has quickly become a daily-use tool for me.
- (2021-10-19) Shelly B.: Amplenote Web Clipper has a vast array of ways to capture an image. It is reliable and easy to use, kudos to the creators of this useful app!
- (2021-08-13) Tom Carlisle: Genuinely outstanding. An incredible range of capture options, allowing you to optimise your note-taking practice and quickly capture just what you need. Highly recommend Shu Omi's excellent tutorial on how to make the very best of this extension: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3BAX0ZK6mI
- (2021-05-21) Exceptional combination of partial screenshot, full page screenshot (to OCR), and excerpts mode. My favorite feature is the capture straight to Rich Footnotes.
