Plain Markdown

Changelog

Device limit + full-document AI for BYOK

  • Your license key now works on up to 5 devices. Activating it registers the browser with a random identifier (no browsing data), and devices you already use keep working. If you reach the limit, plainmarkdown.com/my-key gives you a fresh key that resets your devices
  • Bring-your-own-key AI now runs on the full document, limited only by your model's context window. The old 600,000-character trim only ever bounded costs on the server-powered Free and Pro tiers, which are unchanged

Sleeping-tab capture

  • Capture tabs now reads sleeping tabs too. Each is woken, captured, then put back to sleep
  • Fixed heading folding in the editor

Capture tabs

  • Capture tabs. Convert several open tabs into one Markdown document, all locally
  • Faster popup open (smaller startup payload)
  • Reading other tabs needs a one-time permission you grant in Settings

Image controls

  • Opening the extension never changes the page you're on
  • Keep or strip image tags in captured Markdown
  • Images fold into a clean pill in the editor

Multi-line AI prompts

  • Write multi-line AI prompts
  • Cleaner conversions, with more accurate author detection
  • BYOK: model search matches words in any order

Bring your own key

  • BYOK lifetime tier: run AI actions through your own OpenRouter key, with any model you choose
  • Set a default model and override it per action
  • Correct titles and content on single-page sites (Play Store, Amazon, Google search)

  • Heading sizes adjusted to a more readable scale
  • Editor no longer auto-focuses on open, keeping all marks folded in reading mode
  • Ordered list numbers no longer dimmed (only bullet markers are muted)

Link folding

  • Link folding: inline link URLs are now hidden until you place the cursor on the link, dramatically reducing visual noise on link-heavy pages

Clipboard mode, skip images, and a new content engine

  • New "Copy to clipboard" open behavior: one click copies clean Markdown without opening a panel
  • New "Skip images" setting to strip image links from the output
  • Upgraded content engine: Shadow DOM support, improved content scoring, better footnote detection, CJK word count, and security fixes
