Built-in Browser
Aino LifeOS includes a built-in web browser so you can browse the web while taking notes without switching apps. This guide covers how to use the browser and content clipping features.
Open the Built-in Browser
Two ways to open it:
- Click the browser icon in the sidebar
- Type a URL in the quick switcher — it opens automatically in the browser
Browse the Web
Manage Tabs
Multi-tab experience just like mainstream browsers:
Use Bookmarks
Save frequently visited pages:
- Navigate to the target page
- Click the bookmark button next to the address bar to save
- Manage saved bookmarks in the bookmark list
- You can also search bookmarks via the quick switcher
Ad Blocking
Built-in Ghostery ad blocking is enabled by default for a clean reading experience.
Clip Web Content
This is the core feature of the built-in browser — save valuable web content to your notes.
Save to Daily Notes
- While browsing, select the text you want to save (or select nothing to save the full page)
- Click the clip button
- Choose "Save to daily notes"
- Content is auto-appended to today's daily note in Markdown format
Markdown Extraction
When clipping, HTML content is automatically converted to Markdown:
- Headings, lists, links, and other formatting are preserved
- Images are saved as links
- Code blocks maintain their original format
Save Screenshots
- Click the clip button
- Choose "Save screenshot"
- The page screenshot is automatically saved to the note attachments folder
Control Link Behavior
Flexibly control where links open:
- In-app browser — Links open in the built-in browser (default)
- System browser — Links open in the system default browser
- Auto-detect — External links automatically open in the system browser
Configure link behavior in Settings.
Recommended Workflows
Research
Browser on the left for reference materials, editor on the right for notes. Clip useful content as you find it.
Daily Clipping
When browsing tech articles or news, one-click save valuable content to your daily notes. Review during your evening journal session and organize into the appropriate PARA category.
"Capture first, organize later" is an efficient knowledge management approach. Clip anytime with the built-in browser, organize periodically with periodic notes.
Use Web Tools In-App
No need to switch to a browser — use these directly in Aino LifeOS:
- Web-based project management tools
- Online documents
- AI tool web interfaces
