Capture and export

Bring useful web material into the same reading loop, then take your own work back out without changing the source.

Install the browser extension

Install ADHDNotes Clipper from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or the Safari companion app. After installing the Safari companion, open it once, then turn the extension on in Safari Settings → Extensions. The desktop app must be running when you capture.

Local connection. The extension sends captures to localhost:3666. It does not upload the page to a hosted ADHDNotes service.

Save full pages as Marks

Use the toolbar action to save a readable offline page. The capture downloads supported images, retains the source URL, sanitizes third-party HTML, and normalizes new content to editable Live Markdown.

Clip selections as Snips

Select the exact text you need and use the context action. Snips stay separate from cross-library annotations: a Snip is a standalone capture object, while an annotation points to a passage in an existing source.

Edit, sort, recover

Marks and Snips share the writing surface and save state. Sort by Newest, Oldest, Title, or Site; Snips also support Custom order. A promoted legacy Mark retains its pristine original_content so Revert to original capture remains available.

Export the current document

FormatWhat it produces
MarkdownThe current text as a local copy.
HTMLA standalone ADHDNotes document with callouts, tables, Mermaid, highlights, and embedded local images.
Standard PDFThe standalone HTML printed to PDF; no Pandoc required.
LaTeX PDFAn optional scientific-paper path with one/two columns, captions, numbered headings, and callout boxes.

The optional Pandoc path

LaTeX PDF requires Pandoc and a LaTeX engine installed separately. ADHDNotes detects missing tools, explains the per-platform setup, and leaves writing, reading, search, and Standard PDF available without them.

Source safety

Export writes a new local file. It does not rewrite the focused note, Mark, or Snip, and nothing is uploaded.
