Joplin is my favorite note-taking app. It allows me to save ideas and content across all the platforms I use every day. In my case, that\u2019s Linux, MacOS, and iOS. Joplin has revolutionized and organized those notes, whether they\u2019re a daily journal or the latest development I come across while walking or sitting at my desk reading. Until recently, I had not used Joplin\u2019s \u2018Web Clipper.\u2019 Joplin Web Clipper allows saving web pages and screenshots from your browser to Joplin. The ability to use the Web Clipper has added a new dimension to my notetaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to use, but first, you must enable it in the software. On my Linux computer, that involves opening the Joplin app and navigating to the \u2018Tools\u2019 menu, which is at the far right next to \u2018Help.\u2019 Then select \u2018Options\u2019, which is at the top, and navigate to the \u2018Web Clipper\u2019 option, which is on the left, and the second from the last at the bottom left. Then, \u2018Enable\u2019 the clipper service. Install the extension for\u00a0Google Chrome<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Firefox<\/a>. On MacOS, the settings to enable Web Clipper are on the \u2018Settings\u2019 menu at the far left under the \u2018Joplin\u2019 menu. There is a Safari\u00a0web extension<\/a>\u00a0for using Web Clipper if that is your preferred browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Web Clipper enhances Joplin\u2019s functionality by enabling users to save web content for later reference seamlessly. Here are a few key benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can capture articles, blog posts, research papers, and other web content with a simple click, ensuring that valuable information is stored in one organized place. Saved content is available offline, making accessing important information easy without an internet connection. Having all your research and resources in one location can streamline your workflow and increase productivity. Unlike other note-taking applications, Joplin\u2019s end-to-end encryption ensures your data remains secure and private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the Web Clipper is easy. Once the option is enabled, open the Joplin application and then navigate to your notebook with your web browser to the information you want to save. Click the Joplin Web Clipper icon in your browser\u2019s toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can select which notebook to add the content to at the bottom of the dialog box. Then you can choose how you will save the content from the options displayed. Clip simplified page, clip complete page (Markdown), clip complete page (HTML), clip selection, clip screenshot, or clip URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to clip the complete page in Markdown and was presented with the option to save my notebook in \u2018Articles\u2019 or another notebook. Joplin uses the web article title for the title. That can be edited, then click \u2018Confirm\u2019, and the article is saved for later reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
