User reviews

Simple and productive. Just like nvALT. No need for all the fancy bloated features of other clippers.

Saving selections fails to capture links contained in the selection. Instead of using a context menu item to save a selection, it would be smarter to have the main button check if there is a an active selection and save it, and if not, fall back to the whole page. A keyboard shortcut to trigger the saving would be much appreciated.
