  • Really, really helpful tool
  • I use it in Safari on my laptop, iPhone and iPad
  • I’m amazed at how many details it can extract from each page; very handy
  • Templates that can be automatically used based on the URL are great

Syncing settings across devices

The only annoyance atm is needing to export settings after updating + import them on my other devices because those extension settings do not sync on their own.

Here’s how I’ve been syncing them manually after an update:

  1. Make updates on one device (I usually opt for laptop if convenient)
  2. On the “General” page of the web clipper settings, click “Export” next to “Export all settings” (near the bottom of the page)
  3. Choose Airdrop
  4. Choose the other device (usually my phone)
  5. Accept the Airdrop
  6. Copy the json file via the Share Sheet
  7. Go to the web clipper settings (Safari -> 🧩 > Obsidian Web Clipper -> ⚙️)
  8. On the “General” page, click “Import” next to “Import all settings”
  9. Paste what’s in your clipboard in the “Or paste content below” textarea
  10. Click “Import”, then “OK”
