Summary

Amplecap helps capture the best of the internet into your Amplenote notes, to-do lists, and bullet lists.

This release includes the following capture types:

Screenshot selection Pick an area of the page to capture, we'll also grab the URL of the page and any notes you want to store with it. All text in the screenshot can optionally be searched or pasted into your Amplenote notebook via built-in OCR.

Page excerpt Drag to select quotes, phrases, or information you want to remember from any web page. A list of all quotations selected is captured by Amplecap for you to optionally edit before saving. The URL of the page and time of capture is automatically recorded to your note along with the list of citations.

Full page capture Capture the entire scrollable contents of the current web page. We perform two passes of the page to ensure that dynamically loading content will be loaded & visible in your full page screenshot.

Quick Note If you want to capture a to-do item not necessarily related to the page you're browsing, and send it to your Amplenote to-do list without opening the app.

Lots of friction issues. It's very not good at selecting the right tab if you have multiple browser windows open - especially if one browser is fullscreen. It also seems to be an utter memory hog.
by CJ Record CJ Record, 2024-02-19

It's very annoying that I can't select more than 1 (new) tag when creating a bookmark: the extension wants me to press "Enter" for adding a tag at the same time this "Enter" triggers note submission. Quite bad UX
