What It Does

Browser Clips captures the content of any web page and adds it to your ONA.UNO timeline. The page is converted to clean Markdown, summarized, and made searchable — all without leaving your browser.

Set scope

Browser Clips are saved into your currently selected Set. If you use multiple Sets, switch Sets first so the clip lands in the right library. See Sets (Libraries).

Supported Browsers

  • Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi)
  • Safari

Both use the same underlying system. Clips from any browser appear in a single unified “Browser Clips” source.

ONA.UNO Clipper

The ONA.UNO Clipper for Chrome and Safari uses the same extraction engine as the Obsidian Web Clipper. If you’ve used the Obsidian extension, you know the quality — ONA.UNO’s extraction is just as good.

ONA.UNO automatically picks the best extraction for each page. If the clean reader-style extraction misses content (which can happen on unusual page layouts), it falls back to full-text extraction so nothing gets lost.

Key Features

YouTube Transcripts

When you save a YouTube video, ONA.UNO automatically fetches and stores the transcript. This means you can search for spoken content and get AI summaries of videos — not just the title and description.

YouTube summaries and chat

ONA.UNO captures the transcript as the clip’s content (with timestamps). Summaries depend on your AI mode (Online vs Mixed), but chat and full summaries require an OpenRouter API key in both modes. For more details see: Save Webpages You Visit.

Smart Deduplication

Saving the same page twice updates the existing item rather than creating a duplicate. ONA.UNO uses canonical URLs to identify pages, so minor URL variations don’t create clutter.

Offline Capture

If ONA.UNO isn’t running when you save a page, the clip is queued. Next time you open ONA.UNO, all queued clips are imported automatically.

Export and Import

Browser Clips can be exported to Markdown files (with frontmatter) and imported on another machine. This makes it easy to transfer your saved pages or back them up.

Export/import lives in Settings → Maintenance → Browser Clips.
