Save ideas from Chrome or Safari

In short

Install the Zetrr Planner Capture extension, create a capture token in Planner Settings and paste it into the extension. Then click the extension, or press Alt+Z, on any page to save its link with a note, tags, a screenshot or a voice note to Saved.

The Zetrr Planner Capture extension saves the page you're on into Saved: its link and title, a note (any text you've selected is filled in for you), the platform, tags, a screenshot of the page and, in Chrome, a voice note.

1. Install the extension#

For Chrome, add Zetrr Planner Capture from the Chrome Web Store. It also works in other Chromium-based browsers. On a Mac, the Safari version of the extension has the same form, without voice notes.

2. Create a capture token#

  1. In Planner on the web, open Settings.
  2. Scroll to Capture Tokens.
  3. Type a name for the token, such as the computer and browser you'll use it in.
  4. Click Generate.
  5. Copy the token straight away. It's shown in full only once.

3. Connect the extension#

  1. Click the extension's icon in your browser's toolbar.
  2. Paste the token into Capture Token.
  3. Click Connect.

4. Save a page#

  1. On the page you want to keep, click the extension's icon, or press Alt+Z (⌥Z on a Mac).
  2. Check the Title, and add a Note, Platform and Tags if you like.
  3. Click Screenshot to attach a picture of the page, or Voice to record a voice note (Chrome only). The first time you record, Chrome asks for microphone access.
  4. Click Save to Planner, or press ⌘ + Enter (Ctrl + Enter on Windows).

When you see Idea saved!, click Open Saved to see it, or Save another. You can also close the popup straight away: the save finishes in the background, and if it fails, the extension shows the error the next time you open it.

Turn ideas into cards#

In Saved, open an idea and click Add to Planner to turn it into a card on your board. Saving from your phone instead? See Save ideas from any app on your phone.

Questions

I lost my token. Can I see it again?

Newer tokens have a Reveal button in Settings, which shows the full token after you enter your account password. If a token has no Reveal button, revoke it and generate a new one.

Do the Planner apps need a capture token?

No. The iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android apps use your normal sign-in. Capture tokens are only for the browser extension.

Which workspace do captured ideas go into?

Ideas go into your active workspace in Zetrr, the one you last switched to.
