markdownr

Android app that converts an URL to markdown, and lets you share it to your favorite notes app.

I've written this app to save articles I found interesting to a note taking app that uses markdown and git to sync notes to my pc.

Get it on F-Droid

Features

  • Downloads the web page specified in the URL input field, cleans it up (like readability does) and converts it to Markdown.
  • Ability to enable/disable parts of the markdown:
    • YAML front matter with the creation date, the source url and the author
    • The "Clipped from " text under the title
    • The excerpt of the article
    • The article body
  • Ability to show the markdown preview
  • Share the markdown to other apps with standard share intent.
  • The URL can be also be shared from another app (for example the web browser); markdownr will automatically convert it and show the share intent.
  • If something isn't working with the share button, you can use the copy button to send the text to the clipboard.
