Anytype should appear in share menu

Currently if I have to share a link, I need to copy the link and then select bookmarks in anytpe and paste it.

Instead we can get anytype to pop up in share menu and share the link directly

Second this! It would be convenient, especially to manage an Inbox with Articles, etc.

Seems to be implement by now, right?

I guess it could be tagged as ‘solved’.

Just wanted to share something today. I don’t think this is implemented yet.

I’d also suggest that multiple share destinations be implemented, to allow for different functionality. For example, when the web clipper functionality is ready and released, also being able to add the webpage to my Anytype quickly by sharing with the built-in menu would be convenient.

Looking a bit further into Anytype’s future, when plugin and API support is released, allowing plugins to access data sent to the application via the share menu may also be desirable.

Describe the solution you’d like
A share option for mobile that will automatically ganerate a new object with the content that been shared (picture, pdf, link …)

I added a picture for reference

This is probably something the anytype team already has on the map.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am very often using my phone to collect all sort of links, that I want to check out later on my desktop.

Describe the solution you’d like
I would like an option in the “share” menu of iOS, that would allow me to add, whatever it is I want to share, to an existing object. That would of course need an option in Anytype to set a “default” object, where these things are added to. Another option would be to create a “note” with the “share” menu for every thing i want to save to anytype.

I would like a singe object with all the links more than a lot of objects with one link in it. But that may be to my usecase. In the end I would like to save links and images or maybe with anytype now even files, audio etc to anytype from the “share” menu.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
Right now I’m sending myself those informations via a messenger, that I use on mobile and pc.

Any updates on the share menu feature request? Is there an ETA for this?

They are on the way. IIRC they’ll come out before the public launch. So somewhere between now and the next 5-6 months.

On Telegram the team said they hope web clipper will be available in September.

I’m guessing that’s the end of September since releases are now supposed to be every 4 weeks?

Yes this would be extremely useful

Excited for this myself. Currently I use a mix of sending things to myself or repurpose a todo list app. Being able to put shared things straight into Anytype on iOS phones and android tablets would be great for me!

Also want to add, that this is a much needed feature. I need to put content into my PKM system quickly and easily without thinking too much or pressing too much buttons. Hope it get’s added soon. Currently it is holding me back a bit.
