ClipMD
Turn web pages and copied text into clean Markdown clips - saved on your device, ready to paste anywhere.
Overview
ClipMD turns web pages and copied text into clean Markdown clips you keep on your device. Paste a URL or share a page to ClipMD, and it extracts the article body and converts it to Markdown - headings, lists, and links preserved - ready to paste into your notes app or keep as a reading archive.
It is a focused clipping tool, not a read-it-later service or a browser replacement. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no telemetry; the only network requests it makes are fetching the exact pages you ask it to convert.
Made for note-takers who live in Markdown: clip it now, paste it anywhere later.
Who It Is For
- Writers and researchers collecting article snippets for reference
- Developers who keep notes and documentation in Markdown
- Obsidian, Bear, and other Markdown notes app users who want clean paste-ready text
- Anyone tired of copy-pasting web articles and losing headings, lists, and links
- Privacy-conscious users who want clips stored locally, not on someone's server

How to Use

- In the app, paste the URL (or your copied text) and let ClipMD extract the article body.

Pricing
ClipMD is free on the App Store, with no ads. App Store pricing and availability can change, so check the store listing for current details.
Privacy
Clips, titles, and settings are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to the developer or any third party. There is no account, no analytics, no tracking, no ads, no crash reporting, and no third-party SDKs. Network access is user-initiated only: when you give ClipMD a URL, it fetches that page directly from the site you specified and makes no other requests. Uninstalling the app removes all stored data.

FAQ
Is ClipMD free?
Yes. ClipMD is free on the App Store with no ads. Pricing can change, so check the listing for current details.
Where are my clips stored?
Only on your device (including App Group storage shared with the share extension). Nothing is uploaded to the developer or any third party, and uninstalling the app removes all stored data.
Does ClipMD connect to the internet?
Only when you ask it to convert a URL - it fetches that page directly from the site you specified. It makes no other network requests and has no telemetry.
Can I clip from Safari?
Yes. Use the share sheet from Safari (or other apps) and choose ClipMD to convert the page to Markdown.
What does the Markdown output keep from the page?
ClipMD extracts the article body and preserves structure - headings, lists, and links - so the clip pastes cleanly into any Markdown notes app.
Does it sync between devices?
No. There is no cloud sync or account; clips live on the device where you saved them. You can copy or share a clip to move it elsewhere.
Can I edit a clip after saving it?
Yes. Any clip can be copied, shared, edited, or deleted from the clip list.
