Hello from Clipperjay — the page you saved should still be readable

Clipperjay exists because of a small, familiar failure. You find a good page on your phone, you mean to come back to it, and you leave the tab open as a promise to yourself. Weeks later the tab is still there — or the page is behind a paywall, redesigned, or gone.

The fix isn’t another inbox. It’s putting the page where the rest of your thinking already lives. For a lot of people that place is OneNote: a notebook, a section, a page, with the structure they’ve been keeping for years. So Clipperjay does one job. It takes a page out of the browser’s share sheet and files it in OneNote, in the spot you choose, in the form you choose.

This is where we’ll write about that.

What you’ll find here

Clipping the web well. When a read-mode article beats a screenshot, when only a snippet is worth keeping, and why every clip carries its title, URL and date.

Building Clipperjay. The decisions behind a utility: where a clip actually gets rendered, why clips queue offline, and the features we left out on purpose.

Keeping what you save. Notes on making a saved page survive the site it came from.

What we believe

A clipper you skip is a clipper that doesn’t work. From share sheet to saved is a couple of taps, and the sheet remembers where you put the last page from that site. Speed isn’t a nice-to-have here; it’s the whole product.

Your notebooks, as they are. Clipperjay reads the tree you already built in OneNote and writes into it. There’s no shadow inbox in our app to clean out later.

Small on purpose. No ads, no feed. Clipperjay is a utility that gets out of the way once the clip has landed.

Clipperjay is an independent app and isn’t affiliated with Microsoft — OneNote is simply where your clips are saved.

Thanks for being here.
