What’s New Version 2.4.1
Improved article extraction across more websites.
This update keeps article intros that some layouts place outside the main body, fixes run-together words caused by CSS-only spacing, and removes more navigation, Q&A, recipe, documentation, and citation clutter from clips.
Description
Cat Scratches is a Safari extension for sending clean website text to Drafts. It can also use the Share Sheet for Notes, Mail, Messages, and other apps. Automatically extract the main article body, or select text to clip a passage.
Use it to:
• Send the page title, source URL, and text to Drafts
• Save captures to Notes or other apps through the Share Sheet
• Convert captures to readable Markdown
• Choose templates, tags, and cleanup settings
How it works:
1. Enable the Cat Scratches Safari extension
2. Open a webpage in Safari
3. Run Cat Scratches
4. Review or edit the capture in Drafts, Notes, or another app
Cat Scratches only reads a page when you run the extension. It does not track browsing history or collect data. Source code is available at https://github.com/ddegner/cat-scratches.

Improved article extraction across more websites.

Build 887669268v2.4.02026-07-01 16:25:42
Adds a direct Ulysses destination for creating Markdown sheets from Safari captures.
Share Sheet failures now surface an error instead of silently logging to the page console, and the App Store screenshots have been refreshed for macOS and iOS.
Build 887597966v2.3.22026-06-29 21:43:59
Clearer description of Drafts and Share Sheet support.

Build 886796603v2.3.12026-06-11 01:01:41
Added an Include links setting for captured body text after a Claude Fable 5 pass fixed several extraction bugs, including one that was stripping URL links. The setting defaults off, so link text is kept without Markdown URLs unless you turn links back on. This release also adds more date template placeholders: {month}, {day}, {monthname}, and {year2}.
Build 885446986v2.3.02026-05-10 18:47:23

- Improved article detection across a broader capture test corpus
- Better filtering for ads, video controls, newsletter prompts, related links, sidebar blocks, and other non-story clutter
- Cleaner Drafts output with fewer repeated sections and less navigation noise
- Stronger text cleanup for boilerplate that remains after page filtering
