ClipMark: Web Clipper for Notion, No Lost Clips

Lost a clip because the clipper said "please go online" — while you were online? Or watched it save half the page, or nothing but a bare bookmark?

ClipMark captures any page as clean Markdown in one click, and every clip is queued locally before any network call — so a dropped connection can't cost you the page. Optional AI tagging and Notion integration built in.

WHY CLIPMARK?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Tired of the Notion Web Clipper losing your clips, breaking on login, or capturing half the page? Looking for a Pocket alternative or a MarkDownload replacement? Need a fast way to feed web content into ChatGPT or Claude? ClipMark solves all three.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✦ NEVER LOSE A CLIP — Every clip is saved locally before any network call. If Notion is down, if you're offline, if anything fails — the clip stays in a queue with automatic retry. Nothing disappears silently.

✦ SAVE TO NOTION — Pick your Notion database once and ClipMark remembers it. No dropdown to fight with on every clip. Connect your workspace via official OAuth; content is saved as native Notion blocks — not a bookmark, not a screenshot.

✦ COPY MARKDOWN — One click to extract the main content as clean Markdown and copy it to your clipboard. No account needed. No sign-up. Just works.

✦ DOWNLOAD .MD — Save a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter (title, URL, date, tags). Ready for Obsidian, Notion import, or pasting into any AI assistant.

✦ AI TAGS & SUMMARY — When saving to Notion, ClipMark generates 3–5 tags and a one-line summary automatically. You review and edit them before saving. 20 free AI clips per month; unlimited without AI.

✦ CONFIGURABLE SHORTCUT — Default Alt+Shift+M, fully customizable through Chrome's shortcut settings. No hijacked keys.

✦ CAPTURE MODES — "Main content" extracts the article body (no menus, no footers, no cookie banners). "Full page" grabs everything. Manual selection is available as a fallback when auto-extraction can't isolate the content.

WHO IS IT FOR?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

→ Notion users frustrated with the official clipper (login issues, lost clips, incomplete captures)
→ Pocket orphans and MarkDownload users looking for a reliable replacement
→ Anyone who feeds web content into AI tools — the "page → Markdown → Claude/ChatGPT" workflow
→ Researchers, students, and writers who need reliable web clipping with real content extraction

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Markdown works without any account — Notion is optional
- AI tags and summary happen at clip time, not after
- Anti-loss queue: clips never vanish on network errors
- OAuth-based Notion connection — no cookie dependency, no "go online to save" bugs
- Minimal permissions: no <all_urls>, no browsing history, no analytics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED

- scripting — inject the content extractor on demand
- storage — persist your settings and the anti-loss queue
- downloads — save the .md file to your Downloads folder
- identity — OAuth flow with Notion
- alarms — schedule retry attempts for queued clips
- api.notion.com — send clips to Notion's official API

No background tracking. No browsing history. No analytics.
