Saving Web Links to Keep It
Keep It for Mac provides a few ways to save web links.
- Using the Safari extension
- Using the Share extension in most apps
- Using the Bookmarklet
- Saving pages that require a login
Safari Extension
The “Add to Keep It” Safari extension will show a toolbar button that will add the current web page to Keep It with a single click. To enable that:
- Choose Safari > Settings from the menu
- Click Extensions
- Enable the “Add to Keep It” extension there
To edit the name or URL, add tags, or choose a format and destination for the web link, enable the import view in Keep It's settings:
- Choose Keep It > Settings from the menu
- Click Import
- Enable the “Show import view: When importing from other apps” option there
Share Extension
Alternatively, you can save whole web pages as PDFs, web archives, or just links using Keep It's share extension:
- Click the Share button in the toolbar
- Choose Keep It from the list shown
For Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, it's in the File menu:
- Choose File > Share > Keep It from the menu
If you don't see Keep It there, choose Edit Extensions and enable it in System Settings first.
Once the share extension is on screen, you can enable “Save for offline”, and click the gear icon next to that to choose whether to save it as a PDF or web archive file.
You can change the defaults for “Save for offline” and the format in Keep It's Import Settings:
- Choose Keep It > Settings from the menu
- Click Import
Bookmarklet
Keep It provides a bookmarklet that can add either the current web page or selected text to Keep It for browsers that do not support share extensions. To install a bookmarklet in your default browser:
- Choose Keep It > Import > Install Bookmarklet… from the menu, or click here
- Drag the “Keep It” bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar
To edit the name or URL, add tags, or choose a format and destination for the web link, enable the import view in Keep It's settings:
- Choose Keep It > Settings from the menu
- Click Import
- Enable the “Show import view: When importing from other apps” option there
Saving Pages That Require a Password
Keep It cannot share login information with your browser. To save content from any web page where access is restricted in that way, save a PDF directly from your browser instead (web archives are unlikely to work).
To make this more convenient, install the Keep It PDF service:
- Download: InstallKeepItPDFService.zip
- Unzip the file
- Open the Install Keep It PDF Service app
Once installed, you will then see Save PDF to Keep It when clicking the PDF button when printing in your browser, or any app.
Alternatively, if you use Safari, save a single-page PDF directly to one of Keep It's library folders:
- Choose File > Export as PDF from the menu
- Select Keep It in the sidebar of the Save panel
- Navigate to the appropriate folder and click Save
This requires that Finder Integration is enabled.
