Web Clipper for OmniFocus

Web Clipper for OmniFocus sends web pages and text selections into OmniFocus as tasks — with the URL, an excerpt, and your default project and tag already filled in. It works in Chrome, Brave, and Safari on macOS.

Requirements

You need macOS and OmniFocus for Mac installed. The extension builds an omnifocus:// link and hands it to OmniFocus on your own machine; if OmniFocus isn't installed, clipping has nowhere to go.

Clipping a page

Click the toolbar button to open the clip form, or right-click and choose Clip page to OmniFocus (or Clip selection to OmniFocus when text is selected). Review the task name, note, project, and tag, then clip.

Keyboard shortcuts

The defaults are ⌘⇧O to clip the page and ⌘⇧S to clip a selection. In Chrome or Brave you can change or clear these at chrome://extensions/shortcuts — each shortcut must include ⌘ (Command) or Ctrl. In Safari, shortcuts are managed under Safari → Settings → Extensions.

Background open (optional helper)

Out of the box, clipping uses a hidden handoff tab, which may briefly flash OmniFocus forward. To eliminate that entirely, you can install a small local helper that opens the link with open -g (in the background). It's optional — the extension works fully without it. Setup instructions are in the GitHub README.

Privacy

The extension collects nothing and makes no network requests. See the privacy policy.
