The Web Clipper is a browser extension that lets you capture content from the web and save it directly to your Inbox, a specific project, or My Planner.
​
Clip an article you want to read later, save a link to a specific page, capture a note while researching, grab an image, or add a quick task while browsing — it all lands in xTiles automatically, even when the app isn't open.

The Web Clipper is a browser extension for the xTiles web app on desktop. It works with all Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Atlas, Comet, Dia, and more.
​

Steps to Install:

After installing the Web Clipper, a handle appears on the right side of your screen. Click it to open the Clipper panel.
​
​The handle is adjustable — you can drag it up or down to reposition it wherever it's most comfortable.
​

When you open the Web Clipper on a webpage, you'll see a panel with several options. Here's what each one does:
​

Captures the current page and turns it into a new project in xTiles. Choose how the content is brought in:

​The new project lands in your default workspace first. You can move or copy it to any other workspace once you're in xTiles.

Creates a task from the current page. First, choose the task format:

Then choose when it's scheduled:

Saves content from the current page as a note tile. Choose how it's captured:

Gives you more control over exactly what you save. Six methods are available:

Before saving, you can choose where clipped content lands in your xTiles workspace. There are three destinations:
​

Saves the clip to your Inbox panel — the quickest way to capture something and organize it later. The Inbox is accessible from anywhere in xTiles via the icon in the top-right corner. Each clipped item appears as a tile that you can move to a project whenever you're ready.

Adds the clip to your Planner — works the same way for both notes and tasks. Choose when it appears:

Tasks land in the project's Task Collection — a dedicated page that gathers all tasks from that project into a single list for a clear overview.

Sends the clip directly to a project from any of your workspaces. When you select this option, you'll see a list of all your workspaces and projects — you can also search by keyword to find a specific project quickly.

What happens next depends on what you clipped:
​

Notes and other content land on the project's Inbox page — a dedicated system page that collects all tiles clipped into that project. From there, you can drag and drop them onto any other page in the project to organize them.

When you're on Wikipedia, ChatGPT, or YouTube, the Web Clipper adds a save button directly on the page — no need to open the Clipper panel at all. You can save a Wikipedia article, clip a single ChatGPT reply or an entire conversation, or turn a YouTube video into an xTiles project, all in one click.

The Web Clipper integrates with Canvas and Moodle, letting you import your courses directly into xTiles as projects. Your assignments, deadlines, and course structure are pulled in automatically — giving you a visual overview of your workload in one place.
