Figmimic is a bookmarklet that copies the current web page to the clipboard as editable Figma frames, working on any page visible in the browser, including those behind authentication walls.
For engineers who work in Figma, this removes the need for separate screenshot tools or plugins that can't access authenticated pages. It lets you bring any interface you're looking at directly into a design file as editable layers, which can speed up design handoff and UI analysis. However, since it embeds Figma's own capture.js, its behavior depends on that script's capabilities.

Figmimic is a bookmarklet that captures the current page and copies it to the clipboard as Figma frames.
The pasted frames are editable, not flat screenshots, and work on any page visible in the browser, including dashboards and apps behind authentication walls.
It works by embedding Figma's own capture.js in a bookmarklet, and you install it by dragging it to your bookmarks bar.
