We’re excited to launch the springpad bookmarklet, or “clipper”.
How it works:
1. Drag this link to your browser’s link bar: Spring It!
– Supported Browsers: Firefox, Safari & Chrome.
- Internet Explorer Users: Sit tight… Your turn is coming soon!
2. As you surf the web & find things you’d like to save for later…
- Highlight whatever you’d like to spring: text, images & links
- Click on Spring It!
- A note will be added to your springpad with a link back to where you found it
Some ideas for things to clip: The latest review for a book you’d like to buy, Hotel directions for your upcoming vacation, Supply lists for a home renovation project, Photos with the color palette you’d like for your wedding, Coupons for your favorite stores, A great poem or joke you’d like to remember…
Try it out & tell us what you think!
Watch the quick demo:
Upcoming enhancements to the springpad clipper:
1. Not everything you clip will become a note in springpad – Imagine adding lists, tasks, reminders, or even products you’d like to buy or movies you’d like to see!
2. Intelligent Clipping – If you’re on a recipe site we’ll try to spring the ingredients for you. On Amazon? We’ll spring the product.
3. You tell us – try out the clipper & let us know what other improvements you’d like to see!
Thank you very much for this bookmarklet!
Very useful. It work great with text, images and videos!!! So cool.
I can select the destination folder too. It’s perfect.

Ok, maybe you can add the “tags suggestion” in the field of the “bookmarklet window” because sometimes, I can remember the correct tags I have (example: exhibition or exhibitons or exhibit or exhibits?)
Thank you!
What a fabulous idea! Once again, Springpad is moving forward with new innovations!

Thanks so much for this!!!!!!!
Works perfectly! Excellent addition to Springpads many tools. Thank you.

This is ground breaking. Finally somewhere to store all the interesting stuff I find online for future review. Very handy with Spring it. Useful! Thanks Ariel. Real Estate, Ponsonby agent
I support the recommended tags feature!
I’d also like to see a more fleshed out recipe part. Here’s what I’m missing:
1. It should take the picture for the recipe from the page so I don’t have to log in each time just to add an image to a recipe
2. Ingredient recognition doesn’t really wotk that well, my success rate is only about 30ish percent but I guess it’s being worked on
3. The “Servings” filed is, imho, unnecessary since most of the recipes I saved didn’t even list how many servings does it yield
4. I’d like more to be able to enter the prep and cook time which is more important
Thanks for the great (and free) app!
Thank you for the detailed feedback! This will be immensely helpful as we continue to make improvements to springpad. Again, your comments and feedback are much appreciated
