Mark It Down — Chrome extension Markdown editor and Web Clipper for digesting AI output

AI gives you answers.
Rewriting makes them yours.

A free Chrome extension — Markdown editor & Web Clipper, for digesting AI output.

Paste, compare, rewrite — in a Markdown workspace
that sits right beside your browser.
Not a place to store. A place to digest.

Philosophy

  • Less tool. More space.

    No plugins, no widgets.
    Just a blank page and your thoughts.

  • Not storage. Digestion.

    Copy-pasting doesn't make it yours.
    Rewriting does.

  • Your words. Your rhythm.

    Side panel or new tab.
    Focus mode when you need focus.

Entry → Edit → Clear → Exit

Information flows through, not piles up.

  • Entry

    Or right-click to convert any page or AI chat.

  • Edit

    In your own words.
    Make it yours.

  • Clear

    Archive to keep. ☆ to bulk export.
    Template to reuse. Trash the rest.

  • Exit

    PDF, DOCX, HTML, EPUB, LaTeX, or .md.
    Export and clear your desk.

v2.2.2 — Read in the background. Catch up on your terms.

  • Background RSS polling Enable scheduled refresh in RSS settings and feeds update automatically in the background — no need to keep the tab open. Set your own interval and let Mark It Down keep watch.
  • Desktop notifications for new articles Opt in to desktop notifications and get a heads-up when new RSS items arrive. Shows only the titles, generated entirely from locally stored feed data — nothing leaves your browser.
  • Cross-device read-state sync Articles you mark as read on one device show up as read on every device signed into the same Chrome profile. Only the read status syncs — article content stays local.
  • RSS quote toolbar Select any text in an RSS article preview to reveal a floating toolbar. One click sends the selection to Inbox as a quoted note with source URL and timestamp attached.
  • Scratchpad workspace + Knowledge connections A persistent scratchpad lives alongside your notes for rough thinking. Backlink counts and a connection layer show which notes reference each other — without leaving the editor.
