Add to Chrome No price listed · Open source (GPL-3.0) · Works only with Notesnook · Chrome Web Store · Source on GitHub

Why it's a strong pick

Notesnook Web Clipper is open source under GPL-3.0, and the project's Chrome build is made as Manifest V3. The Chrome Web Store shows version 0.4.1, updated 14 June 2026, from Streetwriters (Private) Limited. The listing says the extension only connects to the internet to download things on the web page, with no other communication or telemetry. That is the developer's claim. The trade-off: it only works with Notesnook.

What it does

The clipper saves web pages into Notesnook, the note-taking app from the same developer. The listing describes the clipping as private. You can clip only the part of a page you want, or take a snapshot of the page. The extension connects to the Notesnook web app, so there is no separate login in the extension itself.

Key features

  • Selection clipping. Clip only the part of the page you want.
  • Page snapshots. A screenshot mode and a full-page capture mode.
  • Connects to the Notesnook web app. No separate login in the extension.
  • Open source. The code is in the Notesnook repository, GPL-3.0.
  • Developer's data claim. Per the listing, it connects to the internet only to download things on the page, with no other communication or telemetry.

Who it's for

Notesnook Web Clipper is for people who already use Notesnook, or plan to, and want to save pages straight into their notes. If you use another notes app, pick its own clipper instead. Our note-taking picks include Joplin Web Clipper, SiYuan Clipper and Obsidian Web Clipper.

What is Notesnook Web Clipper?

Notesnook Web Clipper is the browser extension for Notesnook, a note-taking app. It sends web pages, selections or page screenshots from Chrome into your Notesnook notes. It is made by the same developer as the app, Streetwriters. It is not a general clipper that works with other notes apps. This page covers the extension only.

Does Notesnook Web Clipper work only with Notesnook?

Yes. It is the companion to the Notesnook web app, so it clips into Notesnook and nowhere else. Choose it only if you use, or plan to use, Notesnook. If you want to clip into a different app, use that app's own clipper. The extension itself needs no separate login, because it works through the Notesnook web app.

Is Notesnook Web Clipper open source?

Yes. The Chrome Web Store listing calls it completely open source. The code sits in the Notesnook repository, in the extensions/web-clipper folder. The repository licence is GNU GPL v3, and the extension's package file says GPL-3.0-or-later. Open source means anyone can read the code. It is not a security audit by us.

Does it work with Manifest V3?

Yes, on Chrome. The project's Chrome build is made as Manifest V3, according to the build script in its own repository. The store listing does not say this itself. The Firefox build uses Manifest V2. Chrome shows the permission list when you install, so read it before you accept.

What does it cost?

The store listing shows no price, so we say: no price listed. We do not call it free. The extension clips into your Notesnook account, and Notesnook has its own plans. We did not read those plans, so we say nothing about them. Check Notesnook's site before you rely on it.

FAQ

Does the clipper need its own login? No separate login in the extension. It works through the Notesnook web app.

What data does it handle? The store's privacy section says it handles website content. It says the data is not sold and not used for unrelated purposes. These are the developer's own statements.

Where is the source? In the Notesnook repository on GitHub, folder extensions/web-clipper.

Good to know

Limit: it only works with Notesnook. If you do not use that app, it is no use to you. Practical tip (Xplorekit's own, not from the listing): full-page capture and screenshot mode give you a picture of the page, not editable text. If you need text you can search or edit, clip a selection instead.
