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
Last Updated: July 10, 2026
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.
Quick Answers
Can Octarine save web pages without a browser extension?
Yes. Use the Save to Octarine bookmarklet to create a Markdown note from the active browser tab.
Where do web clips go by default?
The bookmarklet defaults to web-clips/ unless you choose another folder on the installer page.
Why might the bookmarklet fail on some sites?
Some browsers or site Content Security Policies block bookmarklets, so the script may not run on every page.
