One click saves the active tab as a single self-contained .html file, straight into a folder you own.
A bookmark is a promise the web rarely keeps. A clip is the page itself, inlined and made whole, so it re-renders with no network and nothing left to rot. Here is what is carried in, and what is left at the door.
HTML with inline CSS and the page web fonts. Computed styles are written onto each element, so the page renders identically with no network access.
data: URIsEvery image is embedded directly in the file, up to a per-image cap (default 2 MB, configurable). Oversize images become a placeholder that keeps the original dimensions.
pagium:source, captured, title, tags, kind. The catalog label travels with the file and is searchable from inside Pagium.
JavaScript is removed on capture. You cannot trust live code once the page is dead, and it only bloats the file. The result is safe to open in any browser.
javascript: URLsEmbedded frames, interactive forms, and script URLs are dropped. What stays is the document you read, not the machinery behind it.
Everything passes through a server-side ammonia sanitizer as well. Two passes, so nothing executable survives into the archive.
Pagium is the vault. The clipper is how it fills. Three quiet steps and the next page you read is yours to keep.
Open the .dmg, drag Pagium.app to /Applications, and point it at any folder on disk. Already full of HTML and Markdown? Pagium reads it. Empty? Pagium populates it.
Open the Pagium Web Clipper listing, click Add to Chrome, confirm, then pin the icon to your toolbar. It updates itself from there.
Prefer to sideload? Grab the .zip and Load unpacked in Developer mode.
Click the pinned icon on any page, or right-click for Clip selection and Clip with options. The page lands as one self-contained .html in Clippings/. No token, no popup, no service.
No database, no proprietary container, no expiring link. A clip is a plain file in a folder you own, and a folder outlives any app that reads it.
A folder you actually own
Keep the web you read the way a museum keeps a specimen: intact, attributed, and yours for good.
