PocketFacts vs Tri Clipper

Hear an interesting fact in a video, podcast, book, article, or conversation? Save it before you forget it. Build your collection of facts — Found an interesting fact? Add it to your collection so you can keep all your facts in one place and come back to them later. Organise your facts — Give each fact multiple tags and use as many as you need to organise your facts across different subjects. Previously used tags are saved, making it easy to reuse them whenever you add a new fact. Find facts instantly — Filter your collection by tag or search through your saved facts to quickly find something you've saved before. Have something to talk about — Avoid awkward silences or find a natural way to start a conversation by searching your facts for something interesting you know they'll enjoy talking about. Keep your collection with you — Your facts and tags sync across your Apple devices with iCloud, keeping your collection up to date and in your pocket wherever you go.

Tri Clipper saves web pages into your own Trilium server, straight from Safari. It reads the article, drops the navigation and the clutter around it, and files what is left as a proper Trilium note: HTML, with the title, author, publication date and address already attached as labels. WHAT YOU CAN CLIP • The article, found for you • Only what you selected • Passages you highlighted, and nothing else • The whole page • A link with its description, when the page itself is not worth keeping TEMPLATES A template decides four things: where the note goes, what it is called, which labels it carries, and what its body looks like. Give a template the sites it should claim, and clipping from those sites picks it by itself. Titles and labels are written with variables — the page title, its author, the publication date, any meta tag, any JSON-LD field, or the text of any element you name. Filters shape them: format a date, take the first author out of a list, cut a long title down to size. HIGHLIGHTS Turn on highlight mode, mark the passages worth keeping, and clip those. Clip the same page again later and the new passages join the note you already made, instead of starting a second one. BEFORE ANYTHING IS SENT The popup shows the note that is about to be written: the real title, the real labels, the real body, rendered. Change any of them there and that is what Trilium receives. YOUR SERVER, YOUR NOTES Point it at your own Trilium and paste an ETAPI token. That is the only place anything is ever sent. There is no account to make, no service in between, and nothing is collected. ON MAC, IPHONE AND IPAD One purchase covers all three. The Mac version puts a button in Safari's toolbar; on iPhone and iPad the clipper lives in Safari's page menu. Templates and settings are entered per device. REQUIREMENTS A Trilium server with ETAPI enabled that the device can reach. Built and tested against Trilium 0.105. A server on your own network can be plain http; one reached from further away — which is what a phone away from home needs — has to be https. Tri Clipper is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Trilium project.
