Osmos Memo
Fast GitHub‑backed bookmark manager for instant capture
Capture web pages as markdown snippets, tag them, and store directly in a GitHub README. One‑click saving, instant browser search, and cross‑browser support make bookmarking swift and versioned.
Overview
Overview
Osmos Memo lets you turn any visited page into a concise markdown snippet containing the title and URL. The extension instantly tags the entry, commits it to a GitHub repository (defaulting to README.md), and makes the content searchable via the browser’s built‑in find feature. It is designed for developers, teams, and knowledge‑workers who already live in the GitHub ecosystem and want a version‑controlled bookmark store.
How it works
After a one‑time connection using a fine‑grained personal access token, the toolbar button (or Alt + Shift + D shortcut) captures the page, adds or reuses tags, and pushes the snippet with a single click. The extension runs on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, supporting both public and private repositories. No additional server is required—GitHub handles storage, rendering, and history.
Key benefits include instant capture, markdown portability, and seamless integration with existing documentation workflows.
