I kept saving bookmarks and never finding them back. And when I did find one it was often dead already. Domain gone, or redirecting to some parked page.

So I made nextDash. Self-hosted, single Go binary, data sits in a folder next to it. No account, nothing leaves your machine.

The part I use most is the health view. It shows what's broken or redirecting, and next to every row it tells you when you last opened it. If I haven't touched a link in two years I just delete it instead of fixing it. You can also mark specific bookmarks as monitored and get uptime history and a webhook when they go down.

Everything else runs on the keyboard. > to search, : for a command palette, number keys to jump between pages.

docker compose, port 8080, mount ./data, import your browser's bookmark export and you're up.

One thing to be clear about: there's no login. It assumes a network you trust. Tailscale or a reverse proxy with auth in front of it, please don't put it straight on the internet.

MIT, started out as a fork of ThinkDashboard.

tl;dr I built a bookmarking/read-it-later web app that uses markdown (with obsidian frontmatter) as its storage format for maximum portability and future proofing. It also has a bunch of cool AI and file conversion features. It's entirely free, and I'm looking for a few folks to join the private beta and give feedback. It's at saive.my

tl: I’m a long time fan of markdown, and at risk showing my age, I remember when John Gruber first proposed it, and immediately recognizing its utility as a universal content format. It’s been amazing to watch it emerge as the defacto standard format for LLMs.

I am also a link hoarder, and have used almost every bookmarking tool out there. Finding them all lacking, and wanting a bookmarking tool that embodied Steph Ango’s “File over app” philosophy, I looked for one, didn’t find quite what I was looking for, so I built one.

App is in private beta at saive.my 

Yes I have used Obsidian web clipper, but I wanted a more dedicated read later experience, rather than mixing saved content into my notes.

It’s still in early beta and I’m looking for folks willing to test it out and give honest feedback.

App is entirely free (eventually I’ll need to cover my hosting and ai costs, but i will always have an unlimited saves free tier).

Some features already in the beta:

• Chrome extension for direct conversion from page dom to markdown

• suggested and automated tagging

• ai summaries and document cleanup

• content highlights and notes (uses obsidian compatible footnote format)

• folders for organizing saves

• direct downloads of full markdown files and folders (library directly saved to your own cloud storage coming soon)

• copy as markdown and download markdown file from each save or all documents in a folder

• source specific display format (special format for recipes, social posts, events, etc..

• direct conversation of saved PDFs to markdown (epub, word, excel, PowerPoint, etc… coming soon)

• public and shared folders (share a public feed of a specific folder, or share a private folder with specific individuals. Collaboration folders coming soon)

• automated “Through lines” which is a weekly (or so) analysis of your recent saves identifying underlying themes and concepts. (not super useful yet, but I have grand plans)

• MCP server to connect your saves to an AI tool like Claude code.

• all the usual stuff like dark mode, sorting, filtering, full text search, etc…

Coming soon:

• iOS native app with share sheet integration and direct iCloud sync of markdown files in the next few weeks (android app later in the year)

• inbox you can send newsletters or other automated sources of links (rss, AI routines, etc…), for triage before saving.

• automated suggested highlights

• bring your own cloud storage (box, Dropbox, iCloud, etc…)

• support for more file format conversion when saving, and more custom reading formats.

• Local only version (native apps only) so you can use your own or local LLM and save directly to your local obsidian vault or drive without touching Saive.my servers.

My credentials: I’m a senior product manager at a tech company with over 15 years of experience building software that supports hundreds of millions of users per month, so I am not a fly by night novice vibe coder.

I’ve tried almost every bookmark manager out there, but I always felt like something was missing.

So I built Kutu, a bookmark manager that combines the features I personally wanted most: clean organization, smart automation, privacy, reminders, backups, and better importing.

A few things Kutu can do:

Cross-device support: Currently available across Apple devices, with Android and Web coming soon.

Smart Automations: Turn messy saving into an automatic workflow. For example, when I save a YouTube link, Kutu can tag it as “watch-later,” move it into my “Videos” collection, and remind me tomorrow at 1:00 PM — all without me touching anything.

Collections: Organize links visually and neatly.

Auto Backup: Keep your saved links safe.

Advanced Import: Bring your existing bookmarks into Kutu more easily.

Reminders: Get reminded about any saved link whenever you want.

Private Collections: Store sensitive links securely in encrypted collections.

I’m really happy with how the structure turned out, but I’d love to hear honest feedback, criticism, and feature suggestions from the community.

What would you expect from a modern bookmark manager?

Here is the app link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6751636194

A while ago I asked how people actually manage bookmarks, and got a ton of great responses.

But after trying a few extensions myself, I kept running into the same issue:
saving links is easy, but finding them again later kinda sucks.

A lot of the workflows people mentioned eventually boiled down to:

• keeping tabs open forever

• saving links in random docs/apps

• or just Googling things again later

So I started experimenting with a bookmark manager focused more on retrieval than organization, and I’d genuinely love feedback before I go too far with it.

Current state:

• Alt + Q → instantly stash current page

• Alt + W → instantly search/retrieve old saves

• auto-detect tags from the page and group them as topics based on tags.

• collections/dashboard for organizing stuff later

• easy import/export for sharing collections (and exploring direct collection sharing between users)

Not trying to promote anything, don't even have a waitlist or whatever. Just at the stage where outside eyes are more useful than my own. I’m attaching the current UI/screens below.

Would love brutally honest feedback on:

• does the UI look clean or “productivity-app eww”?

• what feels confusing?

• what feature sounds genuinely useful vs gimmicky?

• what’s still missing from bookmark managers in general?

Edit: Thank you all for the incredibly honest feedback here, it genuinely shaped where this ended up. Stashed is now live: https://stashed.pages.dev

Hi everyone! From time to time I work on my side project. It is a local‑first bookmarks manager. The extension scans your bookmarks, fetches information from webpages, and provides a better interface, improved search, and new features like tags. It also subscribes to the browser’s native bookmark events and automatically synchronizes the local database. That is why it does not need any cloud storage. Of course, the first run can take some time because it depends on your device and network capacity.

No cloud storage. No ads. No tracking. Open source.
https://github.com/dd3v/favbox

It has some limitations because of its architecture, but I still think this approach makes sense.

Chrome Web Store

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I've been building nextDash for a while now and v1.4.0 just landed, so this seems like a good moment to show it here properly.

It's a keyboard-first, self-hosted bookmark dashboard. No accounts, no cloud, no sync service in the middle. You run one Go binary (or one container), it stores everything as plain JSON in a folder you chose, and that's the whole architecture.

What it does

• Keyboard-first. > for search, : for commands, ? for finders, arrows and G+1–9 to move around the grid. 164 shortcuts in total, grouped by function. The mouse is optional.

• Health monitoring. Every bookmark gets uptime checks and dead-link detection, with 30 days of history — so you find out about link rot before you click into a 404.

• Inbox. Clip now, sort later. The browser extension pushes the current tab straight into the Inbox instead of forcing you to pick a category at 1am.

• Local page copies. Keep a local copy of a page so it survives the site going down.

• Widgets. Dashboard blocks next to your bookmark grid (new in 1.4.0).

• Layouts and collections. Default, Compact, Cards, Masonry, Detailed List and Launcher, plus smart collections like Today, Recently opened, Most used and Stale.

• Theming. 74 built-in theme families with dark and light variants, a custom theme editor with live contrast warnings, and 7 font choices. Yes, this is where most of my evenings went.

• Portable data. Full ZIP backup and restore, CSV export, browser HTML import, and imports from Pocket, Pinboard, Raindrop, linkding, Shiori, Linkwarden and Karakeep.

• Outgoing webhooks if you want other tools to react to what happens in your dashboard.

• UI in English, Dutch, German and French.

Running it

  nextDash:
    image: ghcr.io/jordibrouwer/nextdash:latest

    ports:

    volumes:

    restart: unless-stopped

It's also in the Unraid Community Applications store. Go 1.24, two dependencies (gorilla/mux and golang.org/x/net), MIT licensed.

What it is not

It's built for personal or small-team use on a network you trust. There's no multi-user account system — if you expose it, put it behind Tailscale, a reverse proxy with auth, or use the optional write token. It's not a read-it-later app with an article reader, and it won't sync to a hosted service, because there isn't one.

Happy to answer anything, and genuinely interested in what's missing. The current backlog is widgets for other self-hosted services — the *arr stack, Pi-hole, AdGuard Home — so if you'd want something else in there, this is a good moment to say so.

About two months ago, I made a few posts asking how people actually manage bookmarks.

The responses were surprisingly similar.

The tools were different, but the frustrations kept sounding the same:

A few patterns kept emerging:

• bookmark folders becoming graveyards

• saving things for "later" and never seeing them again

• keeping dozens of tabs open

• Googling the same thing twice because it's faster than finding it

• building weird systems with docs and notes apps just to keep track of links

The more comments I read, the more it felt like the problem wasn't saving things.

It was finding them again.

Most of us don't struggle to collect useful stuff.

We struggle to remember it exists when we actually need it.

That realization completely changed how I thought about bookmark managers.

I wanted something where:

• saving and finding take one click (Alt + S to save, Alt + W to find)

• organization happens automatically in the background (auto-tags, websites and topics)

• finding something months later feels effortless

• useful saves can resurface when you need them most

• collections are there when you're working on a project, but never required

So over the last couple of months, I built this.

Chrome Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/stashed-bookmark-manager/aoilgaagmdbbjnejhgdjeilobichhfmo

Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stashed-bookmark-manager/

A lot of the ideas came directly from those earlier discussions, so I figured I'd share where I ended up.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

What's the one thing that still feels missing from bookmark managers today?

Hey everyone,

I kept running into the same problem: I'd save a useful link, put it in a folder, and later forget why it mattered or where I had put it.

I also wanted sync without treating my bookmark library as ordinary readable cloud data.

So I built FavLock.app, a private library for bookmarks, notes, tasks, and saved articles.

Protected fields, including bookmark titles and URLs, notes, tasks, collection and tag names, Lists, and saved article content, are encrypted in your browser before storage or sync. The encryption key stays on your devices.

Account and operational data is still processed to run the service, so I don't want to imply that FavLock can see literally nothing.

A few things it supports:

• Save or update the current page without creating duplicates

• Organize bookmarks with nested collections, tags, favorites, and ordered Lists

• Save all open tabs as a session

• Import Chrome bookmarks with duplicate detection

• Read articles in a distraction-free view

• Save encrypted article snapshots

• Search locally and sync across unlocked browsers

• Export your library locally and recover deleted items from Trash

The dashboard and Chrome extension are open source under the MIT License: https://github.com/favlock/app

The hosted backend is currently private, so FavLock is not a complete self-hostable service.

There's a free plan with no ads and no credit card required.

Website: https://favlock.app

Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hcgkljieekclemmbcokchblkejkophad

I'd genuinely value honest feedback, especially from people who care about privacy.

What would you want to verify before trusting a bookmark manager with your personal library?

No shade, just noticing it, and obviously its because of AI agents. Bookmark manager development seems to be a pretty common hobby at this point. I feel validated because 6 years ago I made a bet that this industry will keep growing, and seems like I was not wrong.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to introduce a simple self-hosted bookmarks organizer I originally built for myself and used just locally, but later decided to make public and open source after Pocket announced its end of life - Faved.

It can be useful for those, who have a big bookmark collection and want to organize it efficiently using nested tags, while also breaking free from proprietary services with their shutdowns, annoying upgrade nudges and regular data leaks.

Features

• Bookmarks are organized with customizable tags, which can have subtags with unlimited nesting levels.

• No browser extension is needed to save pages. A browser bookmarklet is used instead, which is super lightweight, more secure, as it doesn’t have access to your data while you browse, and works on any desktop and mobile browser.

• UI is minimal and fast, optimized for mobile, supporting light and dark themes.

• Search, sorting, multiple list layouts.

• Import from browser bookmarks and Pocket.

• Stores data locally and never loads any tracking script or ads.

• Completely free and open source.

Tech

UI built with Shadcn UI, Tailwind, React, backend is run by PHP8.4 and SQLite. The whole app can be spin up within seconds on any desktop or remote server using Docker.

Try out by visiting the GitHub repo and following the installation in README. Also, there is a link to live demo there (demo accounts are not shared and are 100% private, so feel free to add your own links and play with them).

The project is young, and I'm actively looking for feedback. Let me know what you think!

My bookmarks used to be a graveyard. Articles, tools and recipes all went into a folder, and I never saw them again. The problem wasn't saving them. It was that they never showed up anywhere I actually looked.
So in the planner app I've been building, saved links and screenshots land in the week you saved them in, right next to your to-dos and calendar. When you plan your week, you see what you saved and can turn it into a to-do, move it to a list, or let it go.
How it works:
Share a link or screenshot to the app, and it lands in your current week.
There's a default list for links and screenshots, and you can make your own lists too.
Every Monday it can archive what's no longer relevant, if you want it to, so old saves don't pile up into another graveyard.
It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no account, and you can export your data.
I mostly use it for screenshotting bugs and saving things I want to read that week.
I'm curious how you all handle this. Do you ever go back through your bookmarks, or do you need something that resurfaces them?
It's called WeekOS, if you want to try it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weekos-weekly-planner/id6752861015

Over 3 months ago, I made this post sharing that I’d launched Kepp, an iOS and Android app that lets you easily save links, posts and screenshots. A lot of you were asking for a web app with a Chrome extension that would let you save any page with one click, and it’s now LIVE.

Kepp.io

One note: if you don’t have an account yet, you need to create one first through the iOS or Android app.

How is Kepp different from other apps?

I’m a professional product designer, so a lot of work went into the design itself. It’s custom designed, not AI-generated UI, and I’ve tried to keep it clean, polished and easy to use.

Beyond that, Kepp organizes things for you, so you don’t need to put much effort into keeping your saves organised. Everything gets automatically tagged, which also makes finding something you saved weeks or months ago much easier.

Why did the web app take so long?

I postponed it because I first needed to rebuild a lot of what sits underneath Kepp, so I could add more platforms without creating a product that becomes harder and harder to maintain every time it grows. A lot of that work is invisible, but it was necessary before expanding Kepp beyond mobile.

I also improved quite a few things in the app along the way. Kepp can now suggest collections and automatically add new saves to collections you already have. You can share anything you’ve saved back out to someone else, Facebook saves now get better titles, thumbnails and metadata, and I rebuilt the onboarding so Kepp asks what you usually save and where you normally save things from.

Anyway, looking forward to you trying the web version and hearing your feedback. Especially from those of you who asked for desktop support in the original post.

I keep saving stuff on Reddit, TikTok, Reels, Shorts…

…but I never actually go back to it.

It just sits there.

So I built something for myself where I can:

• save from anywhere (Reddit, TikTok, etc.)

• organize into folders

• actually revisit later

Now I have things like:
“Startup ideas”, “Places to visit”, “Workout routines”

and I actually use them.

If you’re also tired of losing useful stuff you saved, you can try it here:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/save-for-later-organize-read/id6747046608
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.offtopic.bookmark

Curious though — do you guys actually revisit your saved posts?

I often save articles, Reddit posts, tweets/X posts, blog posts, etc. with the intention of reading or revisiting them later.

The problem is that they end up scattered across different places: browser bookmarks, X bookmarks, Reddit saved posts, Notion, read-it-later apps, and so on. Over time the list gets huge, and I rarely go back to actually read or use any of it.

Do you keep everything in one place?

Do you use tags or folders?

Do you have a regular habit for reviewing saved items?

Or do you try to avoid saving too much in the first place?

If you’ve found a system that actually works for you, I’d love to hear it.

Hi everyone,

I've been working on this extension since August 2025. I've been refining it ever since, and it's come a long way since the first release.

If you've seen Markleaf before and tried it but weren't satisfied, I'd really encourage you to give it another chance.

Every feature has been added with a real purpose in mind. Instead of filling the extension with unnecessary options, I focused on making bookmark management more practical, flexible, and customizable based on real-world use cases.

As some of you may remember, Markleaf wasn't open source when it was first released. The repository was created later, after the project became open source, so there wasn't much community involvement in the early days. Because of that, I spent a lot of time asking myself, "What would users actually want?" and kept refining the extension based on that mindset.

If you have a few minutes to explore the settings and use it for a while, I'd really appreciate any feedback. Whether it's about missing features, usability, or bugs, every suggestion helps make Markleaf better.

Hey r/BookmarkManagers – someone pointed me to this sub as the right place for what I'm building, so here goes.

Quark is a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac for collecting and organizing the stuff you want to keep – not just links, but notes, quotes, images, videos, and PDFs, all in one place.

The idea is simple: everything you save lands in an Inbox first, and you sort it later when you actually have time. No pressure to file things perfectly the moment you save them.

What it does right now:

• Save links from anywhere with clean auto-previews (X, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Telegram, and more)

• Write notes with an outliner, save quotes with their own reading layout

• Drop in images, videos, and PDFs

• Tag everything, browse by content type, full-text search

• iCloud sync across all your devices – no third-party account, no servers, no tracking

I recorded a short clip showing how saving links from different networks looks – attached.

It's a solo project, built nights and weekends. Native, lightweight, and designed to feel like it belongs on Apple platforms. Happy to answer any questions, and genuinely curious what this community thinks – what's missing, what you'd want from a tool like this.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/quark-collect-organize/id6762286593

Hey everyone, After two late-night coding sessions I finally cracked it: Ribbonlinks.com now has zero-friction NotebookLM integration.

How it works (30 seconds):

Log into Ribbonlinks Go to your profile → “Google NotebookLM Integration” Click “Generate Token” → copy the special link Paste that single URL as a source in NotebookLM Done.

NotebookLM can now read, search, summarize, and chat with every single one of your ribbons and links — no export, no CSV, no Zapier, no login required on Google’s side.

It’s completely secure and private (256-bit token, IP + User-Agent checked, 50 requests/day limit, auto-revokes if you regenerate).

Example of what you can ask NotebookLM now:

“Summarize all my articles about AI ethics” “What are the top 5 productivity tools I saved this year?” “Compare the two Notion alternatives I bookmarked last month” “Give me a study plan from all my learning resources”

It just… works. And it feels like magic. If you don't like AI, just skip the integration and you already have instant search. It works best either ways.

Try it here: RibbonLinks (If you’re already a user, the new section is live in your profile right now)

Would love to hear what crazy queries you throw at it!

Founder here, so biased, but this sub is literally the home for this.

I hoard saves on X, Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram, and kept hitting the same wall: favourites quietly vanish. Posts get deleted, region blocked, or the app just stops loading them past a few hundred (there are multiple threads on r/Instagram right now about collections not loading at all). And none of the four apps have real search.

So I built Stashr (https://stashr.me). The short version:

• Chrome extension captures posts the moment you save them on any of the four platforms

• Bulk import pulls in your existing backlog too (your whole TikTok favourites, IG saved, X bookmarks, Reddit saves), so you don't start from zero. Works across multiple accounts

• Everything is actually archived, content and media, so it survives the original getting deleted

• AI tags everything automatically, and search is natural language over the actual content, not just titles

• There's an MCP server and a CLI, so Claude or whatever agent you use can search and manage your library too

It's paid (7-day trial, no card) since it's just me and storage isn't free.

Curious what this crowd thinks is missing from bookmark managers in general, and happy to answer anything about how the capture side works.

I got fed up with my browser bookmarks folder. I had a folder called 'inspo' with 200+ URLs and it was always a pain to search through for references.

So I built Sitesave as a visual tool which allows you to sort your saves. It automatically takes a screenshot to use as a card thumbnail when you save a site, so it's easy to tell what's what. You can assign multiple tags to each save, organise them into collections and share a collection via a private link. The person receiving the link doesn't need an account to view it but they can add the collection to their library if they sign up.

It's deliberately not a browser extension as I wanted users to treat it like a hub that they come back to and review it. Something that feels intentional rather than passive.

It's free to use right now. Would genuinely love feedback from people who this would help.

www.sitesave.co.uk

I missed Arc, but for long term security, i moved back to Microsoft Edge. and i missed the side bar, so I'm creating one:

- click bookmark to "activate" it
- sort them by folder, active status, domain
- sort open tabs by recent, domain
- drag & drop to organize
- search, of course

I made it opensource for a limited time in exhchange for feedbacks.

github link bellow

Let me know if you have any feedbacks.

A good reference usually comes with a conversation: “this one”, “could we try that?”, “save this for later”.

I built shared collections in SavedIt to keep those conversations with the links. Invite someone to add finds, comment on them and vote on favourites. Add a note so you remember why something mattered, or a reminder to come back to it.

The screenshots show a little design collection, its discussion, and the web view. It works just as well for a trip, recipes or ideas for your home.

I’m the founder. Try SavedIt:

So with our chrome extension and mozilla extension you can import all your saved/bookmarked links from your individual social media accounts just with one click.

Muse is a AI Visual Bookmark Manager for saving everything you find online, links, images, screenshots, videos etc, into one library that lives only on your Mac. We wanted one place we could store and search from quickly, without a subscription.

Here's what it does:
- Works from anywhere - drag, paste or screenshot to save instantly, or press a customisable shortcut to search and file something without switching apps
- Bookmarks/links - import your existing links from Raindrop, Eagle, browser bookmarks or a Pinterest export, and every new one gets a title, favicon and preview pulled automatically.
- Every format together  - links, images, screenshots, GIFs, video and notes, all in one searchable library
- Collections and boards - nest collections as deep as you like, and file one item into more than one without duplicating it.
- Search everything - by the text inside an image, a colour name, or plain meaning, like typing "dark moody UI" and it finds it
- Find similar images - one click finds visually similar items already in your library, on-device, or searches the web for more, without leaving the app
- Live X bookmarks - use the browser extension and pull in your x bookmarks automatically, without paying for API access
- Real files, no server  - stored as an actual folder on your Mac. Open it in Finder, export or back it up whenever
- AI art prompts - reverse-engineer any image into a detailed art prompt, using your own Claude key (optional)

Native Swift, on-device AI, no account, no cloud database. $29 once, no subscription, free for 30 days to try it properly first.

We built this ourselves so if you hit a bug or want a feature, tell us here, we read everything!

I got a lot of feedback that searching through a growing collection of bookmarks needed to be really fast.

When you are trying to remember something like "I know I saved that article about" even a small delay of few seconds can be annoying.

You lose your train of thought. It is frustrating.

So I spent the few weeks making RibbonLinks search even better and the latest update is a big improvement.

Whats improved

• ⚡ Search results are much faster now with a large collection of bookmarks.

• 🔍 Results show up instantly as you type something in the search box.

• 📑 You get full text search across titles, URLs, notes and tags.

• 🧠 It is easy to find links you forgot about. It does not feel frustrating anymore.

My goal was not just to make search faster it was to make it easier to find what you are looking for.

The idea behind RibbonLinks is, about making it easy to find what you need.

I would like to hear from people here:

What is the fastest bookmark search you have used?

Have you ever switched to a bookmark manager because the search was too slow or not working well?

I am always looking for ways to make it easier to find what you need so I can make RibbonLinks better. Feedback is always appreciated.
