Export workflow

Export browser tabs to Markdown

Exporting tabs to Markdown turns a browser session into a portable source list. TabOnion starts by saving selected tab titles and URLs locally, then lets you create Markdown when you need a clean handoff into notes, documentation, or AI tools.

How to do it with TabOnion

  1. Save the source tabs into a pack.
  2. Review the titles and remove noise.
  3. Export Markdown for the target workflow.

Why Markdown works

Markdown keeps links readable in GitHub, Obsidian, Notion-style notes, issue trackers, and AI prompts. It is lightweight enough for quick export and structured enough for reuse.

From tab pile to source bundle

A saved pack can become a source bundle with title, URL list, notes, and context about why the pages belong together.

AI-ready does not mean automatic data sharing

The user chooses when to export. TabOnion should not silently send saved tabs or page content to analytics or AI services.

Important: Markdown export is user-triggered. TabOnion should not send saved browsing material to AI or analytics automatically.

Common questions

What does a Markdown tab export include?

At minimum it should include page titles and URLs. Advanced exports may add notes or context when the user asks.

Can I use Markdown with ChatGPT or Claude?
