Web clipper - grinnan/trilium GitHub Wiki

Project is hosted here. Firefox and Chrome are supported browsers, but the chrome build should work on other chromium based browsers as well.

Functionality

  • select text and clip it with context menu (right click)
  • click on an image or link and save it through context menu
  • save whole page from the popup or context menu
  • save screenshot (with crop tool) from either popup or context menu
  • create short text note from popup

Trilium will save these clippings as a new child note under a "clipper inbox" note. Clipper inbox is:

  • if there's a note with label clipperInbox, then this note is used as parent for the clipped notes
  • otherwise, day note is used as a parent

If there's multiple clippings from the same page (and on the same day), then they will be added to the same note.

Get it

Extension is available from:

Configuration

The extension needs to connect to a running Trilium instance. By default, it scans a port range on the local computer to find a desktop Trilium instance.

It's also possible to configure server address for cases when the desktop application is not currently running.

Username

Older versions of Trilium (before 0.50) required username & password to authenticate, but this was reduced to just password. Web Clipper UI still contains the username field, just use arbitrary string.
