Web clip bookmarklet

Save the active browser tab as a markdown note in Octarine using a bookmark—no extension required.

This flow is for Octarine on the desktop. It relies on the octarine:// URL scheme, which the app registers when installed.

Installer page

Open the bookmarklet installer — a plain HTML page served from this site (public/octarine-save-bookmarklet.html).

Drag Save to Octarine onto your bookmarks bar. Use the folder field if you want clips somewhere other than web-clips/; the choice is stored in that browser.

Then open the article or page you care about and click the bookmark. Octarine should open with a new note created via create (fresh=true).

Limits

  • Bookmarklets depend on the browser: some profiles or browsers block or strip javascript: bookmarks.
  • Sites with a tight Content Security Policy may refuse to run a bookmarklet on that tab.
