Public Chrome Web Store listing for the Pagecrumb extension.
One click from YouTube. Markdown, ready to paste.
How it works
Pagecrumb stays small on purpose. It reads only the tab you ask for, turns useful content into Markdown, and writes the result to your clipboard.
Open any source
Use it on YouTube videos, docs, articles, READMEs, and readable web pages.
Copy as Markdown
Paste clean, structured Markdown into notes, documents, chats, or research tools.
Privacy by design
The Lite version removes the library, account, sync, summary, and server path. That makes the data story easy to understand.
Everything stays local
Markdown generation runs in your browser after a direct user action.
No server, ever
Pagecrumb does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share your content.
No analytics
No tracking scripts, telemetry, cookies, or background data collection.
Open and inspectable
Small extension surface, bundled code, no remote-code dependency.
Built for pasting into your real work
Pagecrumb does not try to become another reading app. It gives you the clean source text so your existing tools can do the rest.
Researchers
Save transcripts and articles as Markdown for notes, literature reviews, and knowledge bases.
Writers
Collect references and source material in plain text that fits your writing workflow.
Developers
Copy docs, specs, READMEs, and tutorials into tools that understand Markdown.
