Trilium Web Clipper is a web browser extension which allows user to clip text, screenshots, whole pages and short notes and save them directly to Trilium Notes.
Project is hosted [here](https://github.com/zadam/trilium-web-clipper). Firefox and Chrome are supported browsers, but the chrome build should work on other chromium based browsers as well.
# Functionality
* select text and clip it with context menu (right click)
* click on an image or link and save it through context menu
* save whole page from the popup or context menu
* save screenshot (with crop tool) from either popup or context menu
* create short text note from popup
Trilium will save these clippings as a new child note under a "clipper inbox" note. Clipper inbox is:
* if there's a note with [[label|attributes]] `clipperInbox`, then this note is used as parent for the clipped notes
* otherwise, [[day note|day notes]] is used as a parent
If there's multiple clippings from the same page (and on the same day), then they will be added to the same note.
# Get it
Extension is available from:
* [Project release page](https://github.com/zadam/trilium-web-clipper/releases) - .xpi for Firefox and .zip for Chromium based browsers.
* [Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trilium-web-clipper/dfhgmnfclbebfobmblelddiejjcijbjm?hl=en&authuser=0)
# Configuration
The extension needs to connect to a running Trilium instance. By default, it scans a port range on the local computer to find a desktop Trilium instance.
It's also possible to configure [[server|Server installation]] address for cases when the desktop application is not currently running.
## Username
Older versions of Trilium (before 0.50) required username & password to authenticate, but this was reduced to just password. Web Clipper UI still contains the username field, just use arbitrary string.
