I built a Chrome extension that automatically organizes your bookmarks for you [Open Source]

My bookmarks were a mess. Hundreds of saved links, no folders, and finding anything meant endless scrolling. So I built Recall to fix that.

What it does, simply:
When you save a bookmark, Recall figures out what it is and files it into the right folder for you — automatically. No more dragging links around or making folders by hand.

It sorts things in two ways:

  • First, with simple rules — it already knows GitHub is for coding, YouTube is for entertainment, and so on. This is instant and happens right on your computer.
  • If it’s not sure, it can optionally ask an AI to help categorize. That part is totally optional — if you’d rather not use AI, it works great on the rules alone.

A few other handy things:

  • Search that actually works, even if you make typos
  • Find and merge duplicate bookmarks
  • A trash bin so you can undo deletes
  • Import and export your bookmarks easily
  • Open a whole group of bookmarks into tabs at once

The best part: everything stays on your own computer. No account, no sign-up, Your bookmarks are yours.

It’s free and open source. Would love any feedback: https://github.com/aayushmehta25466/Recall

I spent 3 hours organizing bookmarks. Then I built this.

My bookmarks were a mess. Hundreds of links, no organization, wasted time searching.

So I built Recall — a Chrome extension that uses AI to automatically categorize your bookmarks into organized folders.

What it does:

- Auto-categorizes new bookmarks using AI (9 categories, nested groups)

- Full-text search across all bookmarks

- Chrome Side Panel for quick access

- Bulk operations — move, tag, export, delete multiple bookmarks

- Tab grouping — open 5+ bookmarks as named tab groups

- Duplicate detection and trash with auto-purge

How it works:

  1. Save a bookmark
  2. AI reads the page content
  3. Picks the right category and folder
  4. Moves your Chrome bookmark there automatically

Built with Manifest V3, IndexedDB, and OpenRouter API.
