Capture a webpage

Save any webpage to Moonjar two ways: through your phone’s share sheet, or by pasting the URL into the Capture tab.

Before you start

• Moonjar app installed and signed in.

From the share sheet

1. Open the page in Safari (or another browser, or any app that supports sharing a link).
2. Tap Share.
3. Pick Moonjar from the share sheet.
4. Confirm in the share extension. The page appears in Documents within seconds.

From the Capture tab

1. Open Moonjar and tap the Capture tab.
2. Switch to the URL mode at the top of the screen.
3. Paste the URL.
4. (Optional) Add a title.
5. Tap Save.

What happens after

Moonjar fetches the page and pulls out the readable article text — skipping nav, ads, and page chrome. It then classifies the content into one of 15 document types, extracts the fields that matter, and files it under Documents.

Three layers of fetching cover most of the web:

• Readability extraction for clean article-style pages — the cheap, fast path.
• Raw fetch with a real browser User-Agent when readability falls short — catches blogs and product pages where the article extractor gives up.
• Chromium render as a final fallback for sites that block scripted fetches outright (Cloudflare-fronted bot defences, hotel chains, and similar). Slower, but gets the page anyway.

For YouTube and other video pages, Moonjar’s site-specific handler pulls the video metadata and transcript instead of trying to scrape the player chrome.

Troubleshooting

“Failed to extract content from URL.” Some sites block all automated fetches. If Moonjar reports a failure, the URL was unreachable; open the page in your browser, copy the visible text, and capture it as a note instead.

Don’t see Moonjar in the share sheet. On first install you may need to enable it: tap Share → … → Edit Actions and switch on Moonjar.
