Add the optional text-file actions
In ActionClip 2.3.6, open Marketplace and search for New Text File or Append to Text File. Choose Add. These are optional Marketplace actions, separate from the built-in actions.
- Open the added action’s gear and find Text capture.
- For New Text File, use Default folder → Choose…. Each run creates a dated UTF-8 file without overwriting earlier files.
- For Append to Text File, use Append to file → Choose… and select an existing UTF-8 text file. The action reports a missing target rather than creating a different file.
- Select text and run the action to save it. You can also right-click a result popup’s Copy button for text-file options.
Choose a note or text-file destination
Open the Add to note action’s gear and find Text capture. Leave Apple Notes destination empty to append to the selected note. To keep a fixed destination, open the note in Apple Notes and choose Use selected note, or enter a supported notes:// or Hookmark note link.
For an iCloud sharing link, open that note in Apple Notes and use Use selected note. A sharing URL alone is not a local note identifier.
Append separator controls the text inserted between captures. Enter \n\n for a blank line, \t for a tab, or include {{date}}, {{time}} or {{datetime}}. Leave it empty for no separator. The separator is shared by Apple Notes and text-file append.
Set up the optional Marketplace text-file actions.
Files and permissions
Text-file actions write only to the destination you choose when you run them and do not need Online Actions. Apple Notes may require Automation permission. A file or note in a synced folder/account can sync through that service according to your own settings.
