Tri Clipper saves web pages into your own Trilium, straight from Safari. It reads the article, drops the clutter around it, and files what is left as a proper note — HTML, with the title, author, publication date and address already attached as labels.

An article page in Safari with the Tri Clipper popup open.

What it does

  • Article, selection, highlights, whole page or just the link. Article mode runs Mozilla’s Readability, then keeps only the HTML Trilium’s editor keeps anyway.
  • Templates. Each one decides where the note goes, what it is called, which labels it carries and what its body looks like. Give a template the sites it should claim and it selects itself.
  • Variables and filters{{title|safe}}, {{author|split:","|first}}, {{published|date:"YYYY-MM-DD"}}, any meta tag, any JSON-LD field, the text of any element you name.
  • Highlights. Mark the passages worth keeping and clip only those. Come back later and the new ones join the note you already made.
  • A preview before anything is sent. The real title, the real labels, the real body. Change them there and that is what arrives.

Your server, your notes

Point it at your own Trilium and paste an ETAPI token. That is the only place anything is sent. There is no account to make, no service in between, and nothing is collected — see the privacy policy.

The connection settings, with a server address and a successful connection test.

What you need

A Trilium server with ETAPI enabled that the device can reach, and a token you make under Options → ETAPI. Built and tested against Trilium 0.105. A server on your own network can be plain http; one reached from further away has to use https.

Where to get it

Coming to the Mac App Store shortly, for Mac, iPhone and iPad in a single purchase. Questions in the meantime: support.
