Install

  1. Unzip the download, move Shiori to Applications, then launch it. Launching registers the local bridge used by the helper. If you move the app again, relaunch it.
  2. In Preferences → Sources, add an empty, disposable Markdown folder. No Pinboard account is needed.
  3. Install the helper supplied through the Firefox or Chrome review process. The helper listings are awaiting publication.

Test bookmark capture

  1. Open this page in Firefox 140 or later, or Chrome 120 or later. Select the sample sentence below.
  2. Invoke Shiori’s New Bookmark global shortcut. The default is Control–Shift–Space; check Preferences → General for your configured shortcut. Approve any required macOS permission prompts.
  3. Check that the bookmark dialog contains this page’s URL, title and selected sentence in Notes. Save to the disposable Markdown folder.
  4. Select the second sample sentence and invoke the shortcut again. Existing notes should remain, with the new selection appended.
  5. Quit and relaunch Shiori, then repeat capture to test reconnection. Quit and relaunch the browser, then capture again.

Shiori Helper adds selected text to a bookmark’s notes.

A second selection is appended without replacing existing notes.

Set the browser being tested as the macOS default to see its Connected status in Preferences → General. Firefox requires the helper for URL, title and selected-text capture. Chrome can capture URL and title without it; selected-text capture requires the helper. No additional browser shortcut is needed.

Internal browser pages and pages that restrict script access may prevent selected-text capture. Use an ordinary HTTPS page, such as this one.

This is a beta, separate from the production update feed. Use disposable bookmarks for review.
