The problem

Useful text disappears everywhere.

You read something worth keeping. Then it vanishes into screenshots, browser tabs, messaging apps, bookmarks, note apps, or your memory.

Keep Clip gives you one quiet place to put it.

  • A passage in an ebook.
  • A quote in an article.
  • A link you want to revisit.
  • A useful answer in a chat.
  • A paragraph from a document.
How it works

From anywhere to one place.

Keep Clip edit-clip screen with title, author, source, and source URL fields

Clip from almost any app

Use Android’s Share menu to send selected text, links, quotes, and excerpts to Keep Clip. In apps like Kindle, copy the text first, then use the share pop-up.

2

Add context while it’s fresh

Save a title, author, source, source URL, tags, notes, and a custom clip name. Keep the quote and the reason you saved it together.

3

Find it later

Search saved clips by keyword. Filter by favorites, tags, or date. Built for quick retrieval, not endless fussing.

4

Export when you need it

Move your notes into your larger system with Markdown, CSV, TXT, RTF, or HTML exports.
