Xmd Downloads & RevenueXmd: Web & PDF to Markdown · App Store

Xmd turns a URL or a PDF into a clean Markdown file — ready to drop into Obsidian, Logseq, Bear, iA Writer, or your own notes vault.

Paste a link, pick a PDF, hit Convert. That's it.

WHY Xmd
• Smart per-source extraction. Xmd detects WordPress, news articles, documentation sites, PDFs, X / Twitter threads, Reddit, App Store, Google Play and Amazon — and picks the right technique for each, not a one-size-fits-all clipper.
• Works on X / Twitter. Longform articles AND tweet threads. Most clippers can't read X because it's a JavaScript app; Xmd renders the page in a real WebView and walks the DOM.
• More than articles. Beyond web pages and PDFs, Xmd recognizes structured pages too — Reddit discussions, App Store / Mac App Store / Google Play listings, and Amazon product pages — and turns them into clean Markdown. App Store listings can include the app's public user reviews.
• PDFs done right. Paragraphs are recomposed instead of being shredded into one line per visual row.
• Built-in OCR for scanned PDFs. When a PDF page has no text layer (a scan, a photo of a document), Xmd falls back to on-device OCR via Apple's Vision framework — Italian and English out of the box. No cloud round-trip, no separate app.
• Cookie banners handled. Iubenda, OneTrust, Didomi and IAB TCF prompts are auto-dismissed so they don't pollute your Markdown.
• Documentation-aware. On docs.* / readthedocs / github.io sites, fenced code blocks keep their language hints.
• Show WebView toggle. For SPA-heavy or login-protected pages, interact with the page first, then extract.
• Extensible. Hit a site Xmd doesn't recognize yet? Build your own extractor — map a few fields with CSS selectors and a template, or an advanced one for trickier pages. Test it against a live URL, then import/export to share.

BUILT-IN MCP SERVER ON MAC (FOR ANY AI AGENT)
On Mac, Xmd doubles as a Model Context Protocol server. Open the MCP tab, hit Start, and any MCP-compatible AI agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, custom clients you build yourself — can call:
• convert_url_to_markdown
• convert_pdf_path_to_markdown
• scrape_url — run targeted extraction on any page
• save_extractor / list_extractors — teach Xmd a new site, reusable from then on
Because the server reuses Xmd's real WebView, your agent can fetch JavaScript-rendered pages that pure HTTP-fetch tools can't — pull exactly what it needs from a page, then save it as a reusable extractor so Xmd handles that site automatically next time. One-click config snippet, live request log, all local on 127.0.0.1. No cloud relay, no API key, no subscription.

This makes Xmd probably the easiest way to give an LLM agent first-class web and PDF reading capabilities on macOS.
