How to save every link you copy to a reading list file

Use KeyRoutines' Clipboard changed trigger filtered to web links, Get clipboard to read the link, Format date for a timestamp, and Add text to file to append both to a reading list.

Steps

1. 1

   React to copied links

   Add Clipboard changed set to web link. Add a pattern, such as youtube.com, if you only want some sites.

2. 2

   Read the link

   Add Get clipboard set to text.

3. 3

   Timestamp it

   Add Format date with yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm.

4. 4

   Save it

   Add Add text to file with the date, a tab and the link, to Documents\reading-list.txt.

Tips

• Each entry goes on its own line, so the file opens neatly in Notepad or a spreadsheet.
• Pair it with the routine that removes tracking from copied links, so the list stays clean.
