About

Plain Markdown is a Chrome extension that converts any webpage into clean Markdown in one click. Conversion runs in your browser, with no account or signup. Edit the output inline, run AI actions like summarize or fact-check, and send it to Obsidian, Readwise, or Notion (more destinations are on the roadmap). ✅ One-click conversion with a live Markdown editor ✅ AI actions: summarize, fact-check, or any custom prompt ✅ Send to Obsidian, Readwise, or Notion ✅ Floating side panel for longer edits ✅ Copy, download, or keep editing locally It also handles the pages most converters break on: Reddit and Hacker News threads, X posts, LinkedIn, Medium, Substack, Wikipedia, NYT, YouTube transcripts. Used by students saving readings, engineers preparing context for ChatGPT and Claude, researchers building Obsidian vaults, and writers archiving sources.

  Hello! So this is primarily a FREE browser extension that converts any webpage to clean markdown (without the noise, ads, navigation etc). A Pro version is in pre-launch and focuses on workflows. And if you need automation, there's an API ready to rock (URL to Markdown). Cheers 🍻
