Decant 🍷 — Web to Markdown Clipper Decant is a fast, privacy-first, open-source browser extension that turns any webpage or article into clean, structured Markdown — right in your browser. Clip once. Paste anywhere: Obsidian, Logseq, Bear, Notion, ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere else you write. WHAT IT DOES Click the Decant icon on any article, blog post, documentation page, or news story. Decant instantly extracts the main content — stripping ads, sidebars, and navigation — and converts it into clean Markdown. From the popup you can:

Copy the Markdown to your clipboard
Download it as a .md file
Open it directly in Obsidian, Logseq, Bear, NotePlan, or Drafts
Send it to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Perplexity for AI analysis

FEATURES 📄 Clean Markdown Extraction Powered by Mozilla's Readability — the same engine that powers Firefox Reader View. Extracts article body, headings, lists, code blocks, and links. Cuts everything else. 🔒 100% Local & Private All processing happens in your browser. No servers, no accounts, no tracking, no telemetry. Your reading habits are entirely your own. 📋 YAML Frontmatter Optionally prepend structured YAML metadata to every clip — title, source URL, author, publish date, clip date, and tags. Fully customizable template. 📝 PKM & Note-Taking App Integration One-click open in your preferred app via URI scheme:
