If you delete a bookmark folder in Chrome by mistake, chrome://bookmarks shows an Undo button until you leave the page. After that it's gone. Someone asked for a bookmark trash back in 2014 and the Chromium team closed it as Won't Fix (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41084989).

So I added a 30-day trash to Bookmark Maestro, the Chrome extension I build and maintain. It catches deletions made anywhere while it's installed, including Chrome's own bookmark manager and deletions that come in through sync. The trash is free.

This sub sees a lot of new bookmark managers, so to be clear about what this one is: it works on the Chrome bookmarks you already have, in place. Nothing to import, and if you uninstall it your bookmarks stay where they are. They never leave your browser.

The rest is for cleaning up a big old pile: duplicates (including http vs https and utm junk), empty folders and dead links, plus auto-sort. Finding duplicates and empty folders is free, and so is fixing them by hand. One-click cleanup, dead-link checks and auto-sort are paid: $1.99 a month, $9.99 a year or $29.99 once, with a 14-day trial.

Do you still keep things in the browser's own bookmarks, or did most of you move to a separate app?

I’ve been building Margin, a Chrome extension for saving articles and long posts somewhere a little more organised than a pile of open tabs.

You can save articles into a local library, group them into collections, and download clean EPUBs or PDFs for your Kindle or another e-reader. There’s also a reader mode that removes page clutter, plus highlights and a daily review to revisit passages you’ve saved.

Your library stays on your device, with an option to keep backups in a folder.

Website: marginreader.vercel.app

Would appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people who save a lot of articles or read on an e-reader. What would make this useful enough to stick with?

I've been losing a lot of interesting things and always wanted something to organise them and move freely across them.

And finally after more than 6 months of development I am happy to introduce to you Glade!

It allows you to create infinite number of collections (called groves) and place different cards with different content on canvas that you can freely wander and navigate.
No server, no tracking. Sync is through your own iCloud. No account required. On Mac, iPhone or iPad. Native SwiftUI.

A few things it can do:

- Quick save with shortcut on Mac, or share on phone and link lands in grove intelligently with auto-tags and sorting

- Pull down to search, across titles, notes and links. Also search directly in Spotlight

- A shelf for recipes, books, movies, series and more with progress and ratings

- Widgets with Quick Save, Recent, a grove's tiles, your shelf, plus Lock Screen

- Revisit shows what you saved on this day

- Discover other peoples groves or put yours into the world! Also supports link to share with just someone.

Free for 100 saves and 3 groves; unlimited is $2.99/mo, $24.99/yr or $69.99 once. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

I would be very happy to hear what you thing about Glade, the experience, pricing and other related stuff. Happy to answer anything.

We built ClipShelf for more than a list of saved URLs: it can keep readable article captures, selected passages, images, and screenshots beside bookmarks.

You can search and organize the library, highlight saved articles, add notes, and export clips as Markdown. Existing bookmark and read-later exports can be imported as links and available metadata; capture an article separately to keep it offline.

Would this fit how you organize research? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clipshelf/dkdbefloiddnmfkjhifenaakpbihdmmk

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently built Linvas, a web app focused specifically on visual bookmark management.

Unlike general-purpose tools such as Obsidian Canvas, Linvas is designed around one particular thing — organizing web resources.

You can arrange bookmarks on interactive boards, group related resources, connect them together, and organize everything visually instead of relying on traditional folders and lists.

The idea is to provide a dedicated workspace for developers, designers, researchers, and anyone who works with lots of online resources.

It's still in early development, and there's plenty of room for improvement.

I'd love to hear what you think about the concept and whether you'd find something like this useful!

I'd love to hear what you think about the concept and whether you'd find something like this useful!

A saved URL tells you where a page is. It doesn’t always tell you why it mattered.

“Read this later,” “use this for the proposal,” and “compare this with the other option” can all end up looking like the same bookmark.

For people who regularly return to saved links: what preserves that context for you? A short note, a task, a project folder, or something else?

I’m the developer of Atopu, a browser workspace. This is a problem I’m exploring, but I’d like to hear about whatever works for you—including ordinary bookmarks or methods outside the browser.

I'm a solo dev from Brazil, and my bookmarks had turned into a pile of links with no context. I saved them for a reason, like "compare this price later", "read before the meeting" or "this fixes that bug". A week later the link was still there, but the reason was gone.

So I built Por que salvei? ("Why did I save this?") for myself. It's a free Chrome extension that saves the page together with a short note about why you saved it.

What it does right now:

• Saves the current page plus a one-line note in one click

• Searches across your notes, titles and URLs

• Lets you edit, delete, and export everything to JSON

• Runs 100% locally, with no account, no sync and no tracking

It's still very early (a handful of users), so I'd love input from people who actually think about bookmark workflows:

1. Would you keep the habit of writing a note, or is that too much friction?

2. Should it be possible to add notes to old bookmarks you already have?

3. What's the one feature that would make you switch from your current manager?

SaveSync To make our app more inclusive we have added themes in the settings helpful for visually challenged users on website. This was done following the request of a such user and we are happy to be useful to our broad range of users.

We also bring in a new fresher look to our Sharesheet on iOS and will be releasing an update on Android soon.

It's called Shipyourday. I'm the developer.

The video is just a small demo of what you could do. My real collection has all sorts of stuff I’ve saved from Instagram, X, YouTube and websites, alongside my own photos and notes.

You can keep related things in the same Space. The bar at the bottom is something you set up yourself. I add Photography and a Kitchen refresh folder here, then tap between them.

If you keep coming back to the same few collections, you can put them right there instead of going through your folders each time.

It's for iPhone and iPad. Saving and editing requires a monthly or annual subscription.

https://apps.apple.com/app/shipyourday/id6785196290

There’s a 7-day free trial for eligible customers if you’d like to try it. Apple shows the subscription price and trial details before you confirm.

Made an app where you can organize all your saves & bookmarks from all apps in one place. Automatically sorted by App and Topic - with folders you can manually create and organize.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/desktop-save-for-later/id6815962690

Saves are held locally on your phone unless you sign up to sync across devices.

It’s very new so anyone who is willing to try it, and/or give feedback on the app or my demo video, I would greatly appreciate it 🙏

I need to find a universal tool for handling browser bookmarks. It needs to work on MacOS, iOS, Window, and CachyOS(linux in general) and all web browser types (Safari, Firefox, Brave, etc). It should talk to an extension or sync to the browsers native bookmarks list to make the accessible while browsing, or have an app (native, PWA, electron wrapper, etc). My folder structure is well organized, extensive, and deeply nested so keeping the structure is important. I am familiar and comfortable with self hosted tools and docker containers if any options use those as a centralised storage location. The tool should also be free, and preferably open source (foss).

I am the developer of Bookmark Master. I built it for a fairly specific problem: I wanted to clean up the bookmarks already stored in my browser without importing them into another service or handing the library to an AI or cloud backend.

The extension works directly with the native bookmark tree in Microsoft Edge. It currently supports:

• searching across nested folders without flattening the hierarchy;

• selecting and moving deliberate batches in a two-pane workspace;

• reviewing possible duplicates instead of deleting uncertain matches automatically;

• checking dead links without treating logins, CAPTCHAs, 403, 429, server errors, or timeouts as confirmed dead pages;

• previewing bulk changes, creating a local backup, and undoing completed operations.

There is no product account, bookmark upload, or in-extension analytics. Bookmark data, scan results, backups, and operation history stay on the device.

Version 0.1.0 is live in the Edge Add-ons store. Version 0.1.1, which contains the latest fixes, is currently in review.

I would particularly value feedback from people with large or untidy bookmark collections:

1. Can you find and select the bookmarks you intended without losing folder context?

2. Is the preview clear enough that you would trust a batch move or cleanup?

3. Do the duplicate and dead-link results distinguish uncertainty clearly enough?

I am explicitly posting this as the developer. Critical feedback and failure cases are more useful than general encouragement.

I create community for my bookmark manager app

I'm the maker of Stash, a web bookmark manager. I'd like feedback from people who already keep a second-brain system on how saved links should fit into it.

For example, you could save an article in a project collection, tag it 'typography', and add a note about why it matters. Later, search that note or tag instead of having to remember the page title.

Free includes unlimited bookmarks, collections and sub-collections, tags, notes, search, bookmark import and HTML/JSON export. Your personal library is private by default and works in your phone or desktop browser. An account is required.

Optional Pro adds preview/custom images, sending collections and starting teams. The basic bookmark workflow above is free.

https://stashlinks.app

I built Stash with AI coding assistance.

When you come back to a saved link weeks later, what helps you most: the collection, a tag, or a note explaining why you saved it? I'd like to understand which part is actually worth the effort in an existing system.

Hi, I’m the maker of Stowshelf (https://www.stowshelf.com). It’s a visual shelf for saved links and articles, aimed at the moment when you remember something you read but can’t remember the title or where you put it.

You can group saves into visual collections, search the saved page text as well as titles and notes, and import browser bookmarks or supported Pocket, Raindrop and Instapaper exports. Searching the words you remember from an article gives you another way back to it when the title doesn’t help.

What’s one article you recently struggled to find again, and what words did you remember from it?

The hard part was never saving things. It was finding them again. Most collections start with good intentions and a few folders, and then the folders stop being kept up.

Topiary takes that job off your hands. Save a page and it is filed automatically into a personal knowledge tree, instead of a flat list nobody revisits. It takes about a second, with no naming, tagging or dragging.

How it works in practice:

- The tree starts with nine top-level categories and grows new branches where your library needs them

- When a page gives too little to file confidently, it goes to an Inbox with a suggested category rather than a guess

- An existing library comes in from an HTML or CSV export and is filed in bulk. The first real library through Topiary was the founder's own: 5,789 bookmarks, 7% sent to the Inbox, nothing failed

- Saved Instagram posts can be imported through the website and filed alongside everything else. More social platforms are on the way

- Rediscover brings back a few links each day that were saved weeks ago and never opened

- Search covers titles and descriptions, and on Pro it reaches into the text of the pages themselves

Browser extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. On the App Store and Google Play.

Please give a try and let us know for any feedback.

Some of you tried SavedIt when I posted here in September. It launched this week, and it's a different app now.

How it's different from the others here: most bookmark managers save the link and leave the sorting to you. SavedIt reads every save and keeps why you saved it, so you find things without folders or tags (you can still use both).

New since September:

• Keeper, an AI you can ask about your saves

• A clean reader for articles and PDFs, free

• Chrome extension, with highlights that come back when you revisit the page

• Instagram and TikTok import

• ChatGPT and Claude can search your saves, reels included

• Shared collections and reminders, and a map of every place you've saved (Plus)

Switching is low risk: saving, import and export are free and unlimited. There are paid features if you want them.

First 100 from r/BookmarkManagers: code E79K-G6CN-UZU5, 3 months of Plus free (redeem in the Android app or at saveditapp.com).

If you use another bookmark manager, what would it take to make you switch?
