The Clear Alternative to Evernote Clearly

Clearly was a popular Chrome extension that allowed you to view and save web pages without all of the sidebar and header content that appears on most websites. Evernote ended support for Clearly earlier this year. I've had a few people ask me for alternative options. The easiest alternative is to use the Evernote web clipper and choose "simplified article" when you want to save a page without saving the sidebar content. In the video embedded below I demonstrate how this works.

See and Print Pages More Clearly With Evernote Clearly

Evernote Clearly is a free browser extension available for Firefox and for Chrome. Clearly can strips the sidebar content from any webpage that you're viewing. You can send the cleaned-up version directly to your Evernote account for easy reading whenever you open your Evernote account. You can print the cleaned-up article from your Evernote account or directly from your web browser.


Applications for Education
Evernote Clearly is an excellent extension for teachers to use before printing articles to distribute to their students to read in class. Stripping the sidebar content not only saves ink and paper it also makes it also creates a distraction-free reading experience for your students. Evernote Clearly can also be used to highlight sections of an article. And if you have students that need webpages read to them, Clearly has a text to speech capability that your students can use.
