Save & Curate the Web.Visit MusemacOS Share extension and Services menu entryNickSUMMARY I'd like to save to Muse from any Mac app, not just the browser. Muse currently ships only a Safari extension, so it doesn't appear in the macOS Share menu and offers no Services entry. USE CASES Finder: share images or PDFs directly into a collection. Photos: send a photo to Muse. Mail, Messages, Notes: share a link or a piece of text. Any app: select text, right-click → Services → "Save to Muse". EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR "Muse" appears in the macOS Share menu. The share sheet lets me pick a collection, add a note or tags, and save. A Services entry, "Save Selection to Muse", saves the selected text (with its source app or URL where available). Shared links get the same preview handling as links saved from the browser. ENVIRONMENT Muse 1.0.43 (73) · macOS 26.0Automatic Reply Nick, thanks for the idea—system-wide saving from any app makes a lot of sense, and we will definitely give this some thought.Cards view: website and product cards with real preview image, title and source (as shown on theodorehq.com)NickSUMMARY The Cards view on https://www.theodorehq.com/muse/ shows saved websites as cards with a preview image, the page title and the domain (see the "Inspiration" collection there: Logosystem, Recent, Good Habit, Jitter …). In the app I can't get this result. Saved pages appear either as text-only cards or with a full-page screenshot as preview, and image items show no title or source at all. I also can't find a view option that would switch to the layout from the website. CURRENT BEHAVIOUR (Muse 1.0.43) 1. Saving a page (Chrome extension or launcher "Save Current Page") creates a card that contains only the favicon, the domain and the title. There is no image, so it looks like a plain text box. Example: https://mellowclo.com/products/everyday-trouser-grey. The card shows "mellowclo.com" and "Everyday Trouser Grey – Mellow Clo", nothing else. Muse does store a page snapshot for this item (1280×1600 PNG), but the card doesn't show it. 2. When a snapshot is shown as the preview, it is a screenshot of the whole page, often covered by a cookie banner or a grey overlay (e.g. drmartens.com, bergzeit.de). 3. Image items in Cards view show only the picture: no title, no domain, no link to the source page, even when a source URL is set. A collection of product photos therefore looks like a plain image grid, unlike the cards on the website. 4. I can't find a setting or view option for the card layout from the website. The view controls may be in the "…" menu at the top right, which doesn't respond for me (separate bug report). EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR Every saved website or product appears as a card like on the website: preview image on top (the page's own image, not a full-page screenshot), title below, favicon and domain on the last line, for products, optionally a small price badge. This should work the same for links and for images that have a source URL. PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION 1. Pick the preview image when saving a page, in this order: og:image / og:image:secureurl → twitter:image → schema.org JSON-LD "image" (Product, Article, WebPage) → → the largest image in the main content → last resort: a screenshot of the top of the page (first viewport only) with consent banners and overlays hidden. 2. Read this metadata in the Chrome extension, from the tab that is already open, at the moment of saving. Shops that block automated requests (e.g. decathlon.de returns 403) and pages behind a login still work that way. Send the result to the app together with the URL. 3. Also store, where available: og:title or schema name (cleaned, without the shop suffix), og:sitename, favicon. For schema.org Product: price, currency, brand. 4. Keep both images: the page image as the card preview and the full screenshot as a secondary view in the detail panel. 5. Give image items with a source URL the same footer (title, favicon, domain), or offer a view option "Show title and source on cards". 6. Make the Cards layout easy to find: a visible layout switch in the collection header and a "View" menu in the menu bar (e.g. View → as Cards / Moodboard / List). 7. For links that are already saved: re-fetch the preview with the new logic, either in the background or via "Refresh preview" in the item's context menu. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA Saving https://mellowclo.com/products/everyday-trouser-grey shows the product photo, the title "Everyday Trouser Grey" and "mellowclo.com" on the card. Saving a homepage such as https://recent.design shows its og:image (or a clean top-of-page screenshot), the title and the domain, as in the website's "Inspiration" example. Pages without og:image fall back down the chain. A cookie banner never ends up as the preview. Image items with a source URL show the title and domain in Cards view, or a documented option turns this on. The layout can be switched without the "…" menu. WHY IT MATTERS I save tools, inspiration sources and products I want to buy. For all three I need to see at a glance what the item is and where it comes from, the way the website presents it. Happy to send screenshots by email if that helps. ENVIRONMENT Muse 1.0.43 (73) · Chrome extension 1.1.0 · macOS 26.0 · MacBook Pro M3 MaxSupport Team Nick, thanks for letting us know about this and for the detailed breakdown of what's not working versus what you're seeing on the website. We've got this on our radar and we're looking into it, so we'll post any updates here as we have them.open source URL from the tile title in Board viewNickWhen titles are enabled in Board view, items with a source URL show their page/product title in the title bar. On hover over that title bar, it would be great to show a small button on the right (the usual arrow-up-right "open link" icon) that opens the source URL in the default browser. Only shown when the item has a source URL. Use case: I keep a wishlist of products saved as images with their shop link. I save things there instead of buying them right away. It helps me avoid impulse purchases and gets them out of my head. When I do come back to buy something, getting from the board straight to the shop in one click would make that much smoother. Related: my other request about recognising product data (e.g. from schema.org markup). If Muse picks up the price, it could sit in the same title bar as a small pill before the title: neutral styling, tabular figures, no sale colours. The title truncates first, the pill stays visible, and the right side stays free for the hover link button. Without a price the bar looks as it does today. https://support.theodorehq.com/muse/features/muse-feature-0007/Automatic Reply Nick, thanks for putting this forward, especially with such a clear picture of how you'd use it. We'll give it some thought and post any update here if we have news on it.Trackpad gestures for the full-screen previewNickI'd like to close the full-screen view of an item with a trackpad gesture instead of reaching for Esc. Pinch-in to close, as in Photos and Quick Look, would feel native on the Mac, and a two-finger swipe left/right could move to the previous or next item. This would be an big quality of life improvement.Automatic Reply Nick, thanks for the suggestion around trackpad gestures in the full-screen preview, we will definitely take a look at how that could work in Muse. The pinch-to-close and swipe navigation patterns you mention make a lot of sense, and we'll post any updates here if we have news on it.Tags - SuggestionsCommunityWhen you add tags while saving something or in the Info panel, Muse suggests the tags you have already made, so you can pick one from a list instead of typing it again.Show notes on cardsMarcelaHi there! I have ADHD and sometimes struggle with remembering why I saved something. Would it be possible to have the option to make notes visible on the cards? Love the app, this has been the only visual bookmark that even comes close to working on the same wavelength as my brain. The only thing stopping me from buying it is the ability to see my notes at a glance. Please let me know if you end up adding this so I can purchase the app immediately. Hope this was helpful and not too annoying! Thanks again and have a lovely day! Best, MarcelaAutomatic Reply Marcela, thanks for putting this forward and for sharing how you work, it really helps us understand what would make Muse work better for you. We'll give it some thought and post any updates here if we have news on it.How to save an email?andreaHi, I'd love to save an email without the fuss of pdf conversion, is there a way?Automatic Reply Andrea, we appreciate the heads up on this workflow piece, and we're looking into it now. We'll post an update here as soon as we have something to share.
