Plain Markdown

Key Features

• •One-click conversion: Instantly convert any webpage to clean Markdown with a single click. No login or account needed. Ideal for quickly capturing articles, forum threads, or documentation for later use.
• •Multi-tab capture: Capture content from multiple tabs simultaneously, enabling efficient research without switching pages. Each tab's Markdown is available in the side panel for editing or sending.
• •Tables and code preservation: Automatically maintain the structure of tables and code blocks from the original page, ensuring that formatted data and syntax are not lost during conversion.
• •Inline Markdown editor: Edit the converted Markdown directly within the side panel before saving or sending. This allows fine-tuning for AI prompts or note-taking without extra tools.
• •AI actions with curated prompts: Summarize, rewrite, or extract key points using built-in AI actions powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. Custom actions can be created for specific workflows.
• •Destinations for Obsidian, Readwise, and Notion: Send converted Markdown directly to these tools with full formatting. Also supports copy to clipboard and download as .md file for other uses.
• •No account required: Start using Plain Markdown immediately after installing the Chrome extension. No sign-up, no data sharing, and no server storage for converted pages.

Use Cases

• •Capture a long article for research: A researcher opens a multi-page article on The Verge, clicks the Plain Markdown icon, and the entire article is converted to clean Markdown. They then use the 'Summarize' AI action to extract key findings and send the summary to Obsidian for later reference.
• •Distill a Reddit thread into a checklist: A project manager finds a long Reddit thread discussing best practices. Using Plain Markdown, they capture the thread and run the 'Make a checklist' AI action, which transforms the conversation into an actionable checklist, then copy it to clipboard for sharing with the team.
• •Grab code snippets with syntax: A developer lands on a documentation page with code examples. Plain Markdown preserves the code blocks with correct syntax. The developer copies the Markdown directly into a Notion note for project documentation, saving time on reformatting.
• •Collect sources for an article: A writer gathers multiple reference pages for an upcoming article. They use multi-tab capture to convert three tabs at once, then quote each source in Markdown with automatic URL citation. The final compilation is downloaded as a .md file for their editor.
• •Prepare clean context for LLM prompts: An AI enthusiast wants to feed a news article into a language model for analysis. Instead of pasting messy text, they use Plain Markdown to get clean Markdown, ensuring the LLM receives well-structured input and produces better-quality output.
