r/BookmarkManagers

I wanted something better than dumping links into browser bookmarks, notes, or random “read later” apps.

So I’m building Relic: a place to save things from the web and actually keep them.

The idea is pretty simple:

• Save webpages, articles, videos, etc.
• Automatically extract useful metadata/tags
• Organize everything into collections
• Browser extension for quick saving
• Self-host it for personal, family, or small-team use

Additional features for later:

• Keep an archived snapshot so the content doesn't disappear when the original page changes
• Eventually support things like YouTube downloads/archiving through addons

The goal isn't to build another bookmarking app. I want it to feel more like a personal archive of the internet — things you found interesting enough that you don't want to lose them.

I'm currently working on the MVP and would love feedback from people who use Pocket, Raindrop, browser bookmarks, Obsidian, or similar tools.

What would make you actually switch to something like this?

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.

You know when your browser has 70-something tabs open — every favicon crushed into an unreadable sliver — and instead of finding the right one you just open another? That's me, permanently. Bookmarks never helped; they're a graveyard I never reopen. I tried a few tab managers (Toby and others) but kept hitting free-plan tab limits and forced sign-ins, so I built my own.

Mos Tab is a tab & bookmark manager that takes over your browser's new tab page. Your open tabs show in a side panel — one click saves the good ones into spaces and collections, and you close the rest. Drag to organize, instant search across everything you've saved. And since you're staring at this page all day, there's also a calendar, a pomodoro timer, to-dos, and sticky notes you can scatter around — feels less like a blank void and more like a desk. All free, unlimited, no account, works offline — your data just stays in your browser.

The part I'm actually excited about: you can connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP. It can search and summarize everything you've saved (tabs, notes, to-dos), and — the fun part — save new stuff it finds into a brand-new space, add notes, or share it, all from the chat. It only ever adds — it can't touch or reorganize your existing spaces, which honestly made me trust it way more.

Example: I told Claude "find the top-rated budget strollers on Amazon and save them to my tabs." A new "Stroller shortlist" space showed up on my dashboard seconds later. Then "share it," and it handed me a public link I sent to my wife — she opened it in her browser, nothing to install. Here's that actual link: https://mos-tab.com/s/10yyW9pbA_R69a2quKLM392V

Full disclosure: the stuff that runs on a server — sync, those public share links, and the AI/MCP integration — is the paid tier. Local storage costs me nothing so there's no reason to cap it, but the server stuff actually costs money to run, so I can't give it away free — kind of wish I could. Just being straight about it.

Tab managers are a dime a dozen — I just wanted one that didn't put my own bookmarks behind a cap or a login. Would love feedback, especially on the MCP side.

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.

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!

A few weeks ago, I shared Rewindly here and received some really useful feedback. I've been working through it and wanted to share the latest update.

Here's what's new:

• Fixed the storage permission issue
• Added export/backup
• Improved link categorization
• Added settings to choose the default folder for saved items
• Added Grid and List view
• Added multi-select to share, copy and delete items

I'd love to hear what you think of the changes and what you'd like to see next.

Thanks again to everyone who shared feedback previously. It genuinely helped shape this update.

The I built LifeFeed AI. The core idea is simple: you share anything to it and AI does what you'd do if you had the time — reads it, categorizes it, writes a short summary. No folders to maintain, no tags to assign.

What I'm most proud of:
→ AI chat — ask your library a question, it finds the answer from your saves
→ Weekly digest — every Monday, everything you saved that week organized by theme
→ Works across iOS, Android, Mac, Safari and Chrome

I'm not trying to replace Raindrop. You're all here because you care about organizing what you save — that puts you in a completely different league from the average user. That's exactly the kind of feedback I need.

If you try it, I'd genuinely love to hear what's missing or broken. App Store and Play Store links in the comments.

Browser bookmarks are great for saving things, but not always great for finding them later.

Articles, tutorials, tools, videos, snippets, design inspiration — after a while, everything ends up buried inside folders.

That’s what Cairn is trying to solve.

Instead of treating bookmarks as just saved links, Cairn turns them into a searchable personal library.

You can:

• save full webpages
• save selected text
• save links and images
• save YouTube and Vimeo pages
• add notes and highlights
• organize items with collections and nested collections
• use tags, favorites, and archive
• search across titles, URLs, notes, tags, metadata, and article text

Cairn is also local-first.

No account is required, and saved content stays in the browser instead of being uploaded to a server.

The latest version also expands the new-tab experience with:

• recently saved items
• Rediscover for resurfacing older saves
• pinned collections
• inbox for unsorted items
• quick links
• scratchpad
• local to-do list
• optional weather
• Liquid Glass theme
• browser-default search engine support

The main goal is simple: make saved content useful after the moment you bookmark it.

Curious what people here value most in a bookmark manager:

Search, tags, collections, full-text indexing, automatic resurfacing, or something else?

Most bookmark tools helped me save more. That wasn’t really my problem.

I wanted to find an old recipe, video or article from the one detail I still remembered. So I built Miora around that: keep the original source, get a short summary, and search it later in plain language.

I’m still testing the workflow and would appreciate honest feedback from people who already use bookmark managers. What usually makes you abandon one?

I have written a tampermonkey script to pick a bookmark at random from a raindrop.io collection and open it in a new tab. Posted to greasyfork if anyone wants to try it out or tweak it further. It works on the desktop versions of Chrome and Firefox with the tampermonkey extension installed, and Firefox on Android.

It scrolls through the list first, so it might take a while on a large collection.

I built QuickKeep because I had one simple problem i kept saving tabs and bookmarks and could never find them again. No folders, no organization, just a graveyard of links.

So I built the tool I wished existed. Save any page, keyword, something you see in an article or a comment in one click, find it instantly with search.

Today it got the Featured badge on the CWS and as a solo developer who built this from scratch, I genuinely can't stop smiling. Small wins hit different when it's just you.

If you're anything like me and keep losing some important keywords, give it a try.
