Mobile app and Scripe Clipper
Scripe runs in your browser, and two companions bring it to the places you find ideas: the Scripe mobile app on your iPhone, and the Scripe Clipper, a Chrome extension that sends anything you read on the web to your idea board.
The mobile app
The app is for the moments away from your desk: catching an idea, checking what is scheduled, answering a review request or asking Scripe to draft something.
Download Scripe on the App Store. Sign in with the same account you use on the web; your workspaces, profiles, ideas and posts are the same ones.
What is in the app
A floating bar at the bottom holds Home, Ideas, Calendar and Inbox. The menu button next to it opens every other page (Posts, Media, Explore, For you and Community), the workspace switcher and the profile filter. The new-chat button opens Ask Scripe, the same agent as on the web.
- Home shows the same results and goal as your Home on the web.
- Ideas and For you let you save, open and turn ideas into posts.
- Calendar and Posts show what is planned and published. You open a post in the editor to change it, set its lane, and schedule it.
- Inbox collects your notifications, such as review requests and comments.
Plans in the app
Your plan is your workspace's plan, wherever you bought it. A subscription bought on the web cannot be changed or cancelled inside the app; manage it in Settings > Billing on the web. See Plans.
When a new version of the app is required, the app shows an update screen with a link to the App Store. Older versions keep working until then.
The Scripe Clipper
The Clipper saves what you are reading to Scripe in one click: a page, an article, a passage you highlighted, an image, or a LinkedIn post straight from your feed. It is available for Chrome on desktop.
Add the Scripe Clipper from the Chrome Web Store. Installing it ticks the Install our extension step of your Getting started checklist.
Three ways to clip
- Click the Scripe icon in your browser toolbar. A small toolbar opens on the page with Save Idea and Create Post.
- Right-click a page, a highlighted passage or an image and choose to save it as a Scripe idea or create a Scripe post from it.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S on a Mac) to save the current page as an idea.
Hover a large image, or any post in your LinkedIn feed, and a Scripe button appears on it as well.
What happens when you clip
Every clip opens Scripe in a new tab. You do not sign in to the extension; your Scripe account takes over in the tab. If you are signed out, Scripe asks you to sign in and keeps the clip.
When you save an idea, the New idea window opens already filled in: the page's title and site, its picture, and any text you highlighted. You pick the profile and save. The idea keeps a link to the page it came from, and on the board it shows the site's icon and name.
A clipped web page's own picture becomes the idea's media if you have not chosen any. A picture from a LinkedIn post is never attached this way, because it belongs to whoever posted it.
Settings
Open the Clipper's options from the extension menu to:
- turn the hover button on images and posts off,
- mute sites where the hover button should never appear (the toolbar icon, right-click menu and shortcut still work there),
- turn saving LinkedIn posts from the feed on or off,
- turn the keyboard shortcut on or off, or change it.
Edge cases
- The Clipper does nothing on Scripe itself. It is switched off on scripe.io, so clicking the icon there has no effect. That is deliberate.
- Pages the browser does not let extensions read, such as the Chrome Web Store, browser settings pages and PDFs, open a small window with the same two buttons instead of the in-page toolbar.
- Several browser profiles. If you installed the Clipper in another browser profile, the checklist may not detect it. Open the step's card and press Mark as done.
