FAQ and comparison

Should you use My Stash Mark?

Use it when you want saved articles to become durable markdown files in a Git repository you control. The free version covers the core workflow; Pro is for people who need cleaner organization across more than one context.

Quick Answers

What is My Stash Mark best at?

Turning readable web articles into markdown files in your own GitHub or GitLab repository. It is built for ownership, portability, and versioned archives.

Do I need Pro?

Not for the basic save flow. Use Free for one reading repository. Use Pro when you need multiple repositories, custom save paths, and labels.

Why not just bookmark pages?

Bookmarks point back to the web. My Stash Mark keeps a readable markdown copy with metadata, so your archive remains useful even if pages move or change.

Where does my data live?

Article content is saved to the Git repository you choose. Repository settings and tokens are stored locally by your browser.

Free vs Pro

Use the free version when...

  • You want one Git-backed reading archive.
  • You want markdown with frontmatter.
  • You are saving articles for yourself, not routing them across projects.
  • The default articles/YYYY/MM/ structure is good enough.

Pro is a good fit when...

  • You split reading between personal, work, research, or client repositories.
  • You want custom paths such as research/ai/ or clients/acme/reading/.
  • You want readable repo labels in the popup.
  • You collaborate with a team through shared Git repositories.

Primary home

Where clipped content is meant to live.

GitHub or GitLab repositories as markdown files.
An Obsidian vault, saved locally as notes.
A Notion workspace page or database.
Best reason to choose it

The strongest workflow fit.

You want Git history, file portability, and a repository-centered archive.
You already live in Obsidian and want clipping, highlights, templates, and vault-native notes.
Your notes, tasks, docs, and team processes already live in Notion.
Portability

How easy the archive is to reuse elsewhere.

Plain markdown in Git, easy to script, sync, back up, publish, or open in another editor.
Markdown-oriented local vault files, strongest if Obsidian is already your note system.
Most useful inside Notion; export or API workflows may be needed for file-based archives.
Team or project routing

Saving into different work contexts.

Pro supports multiple repositories, labels, and custom save paths.
Strong for vault and folder routing inside Obsidian.
Strong for shared Notion workspaces and databases.
Not ideal when...

Cases where another tool may fit better.

You do not want to use GitHub or GitLab.
You do not use Obsidian or do not want a local vault workflow.
You want a plain-file archive outside a hosted workspace.

The short version

Pick My Stash Mark for Git-backed markdown. Pick Obsidian Web Clipper for vault-native clipping. Pick Notion Web Clipper for Notion-native collecting.

More Questions

Can I use My Stash Mark with Obsidian?

Yes. Save articles to a Git repository and open or sync that markdown repository with your Obsidian workflow. If you want direct local-vault clipping without Git, Obsidian Web Clipper may be the better fit.

Can I use it with Notion?

My Stash Mark does not save directly into Notion. It is better for people who want markdown files in Git. Use Notion Web Clipper if Notion is the final destination.

Does Pro change privacy?

Pro adds organization features. Your article content still goes to your selected Git provider, not to a My Stash Mark reading database.

What should I try first?

Start with Free and save several articles to one repository. Upgrade only when your archive clearly needs multiple destinations or custom paths.
