Stardown

Copy the web as markdown

You can also install from the source code to get updates early or customize Stardown's output more than its settings support.

Copy and paste like you're used to. Press Alt+C to copy (Mac: ⌥+C).

• Copy almost anything as markdown including links, images, videos, lists, bold, italics, quotes, code blocks, etc.
• Copy tables as markdown, CSV, JSON, and more.
• Automatically extract the main content of pages.
• Copy links for the current tab, all tabs, or selected tabs.
• Instantly clip into a note using Stardown's sidebar notepad to simultaneously copy and paste.
• Create text fragments so you can link to specific parts of pages.

We're still finding sites where Stardown doesn't work as well as it could. If you find one, please create an issue if one doesn't exist for it yet.

Privacy

Stardown will never sell any data to anyone and does not collect any personal data. Everything you copy with Stardown is stored in your clipboard, local files, and/or your browser's settings depending on which features you use. Stardown's optional notepad saves to your browser's sync storage.
