Markforge

Markforge is my Chrome extension that turns any web content into clean markdown, in one click. It came out of a daily annoyance: I was spending 15 to 20 minutes a day reformatting web content for my Obsidian vault and my LLM workflows. I tried every clipper on the market. None of them understood that a tweet doesn't convert like an article. So I built my own.

The difference comes down to one idea: not a generic converter, but a dedicated extractor per platform. More than 18 so far: X threads, Reddit discussions with their nested comments, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok conversations, GitHub repositories, Stack Overflow, arXiv, Wikipedia, Hacker News... Each one understands the structure of the page and pulls out what matters, with consistent YAML frontmatter, images downloaded locally and a file ready for Obsidian, Logseq or any markdown editor.

There's also an LLM mode. Because pasting a raw web page into Claude or ChatGPT means feeding it navigation bars, ads and tracking scripts. In the example I show on the site, a 41,200-token page drops to 1,847: 95.5% less, with a real-time token counter, before and after.

Markforge is free, needs no account, and all processing happens locally in the browser: nothing is sent to a server. I use it more than 30 times a day. Every article I read, every thread I want to keep, every conversation with Claude worth saving: one click, clean markdown, in my vault. It's how I think a tool should be made: solve a real problem, mine first, then make it available to everyone.
