Getting Started with Bookmarks
Save your first bookmark
- Click + New Bookmark — the button is always visible at the top of any Bookmarks view.
- Paste or type a URL in the URL field. If you only have a domain (e.g.
example.com), the app will automatically addhttps://for you. - Enter a title — this is the only required field. Keep it short and descriptive so you can find it later.
- Optionally add a description to remind yourself why you saved it.
- Optionally add tags as a comma-separated list, for example:
design,tools,inspiration. - Optionally assign the bookmark to a folder by typing a few letters in the folder search box and selecting from the results.
- Tick Favorite if you want this bookmark to appear in your Favorites section for quick access.
- The circle is pre-filled with your default circle. If the bookmark belongs to a different workspace, search for and select the correct circle. Note: if you selected a folder, the circle is automatically inherited from that folder and cannot be changed independently.
- Click Save Bookmark.
Your bookmark is saved and you'll be returned to the folder or list you came from.
Create your first folder
Folders let you group related bookmarks together. They support a full hierarchy — any folder can have a parent folder, making it a subfolder.
- Click + New Folder in the sidebar or in the Folders view.
- Enter a folder name (required).
- Optionally pick a parent folder to nest this folder inside another one.
- Optionally add a description, an icon (any emoji), and a color to help it stand out visually.
- Select the circle this folder belongs to.
- Click Create Folder.
Once the folder is saved it appears immediately in the sidebar and you can start adding bookmarks to it.
Visit a bookmark
Click any bookmark title in the list or folder view — it opens in a new tab so you never lose your place in the app. Every click is tracked as a visit, which lets you later sort bookmarks by Most Visited to surface your most-used links.
Mark a bookmark as a favorite
Open the bookmark's edit form and tick the Favorite checkbox, then save. The bookmark will now appear in the Favorites section (accessible from the sidebar), which is the fastest way to reach your most important links.
Import an existing list of bookmarks
If you have a collection of links you'd like to bring in all at once, you can import them from a JSON file.
- Open the Import option from the folder sidebar menu.
- Select your JSON file (max 512 KB).
- Choose the circle the new folder and bookmarks should belong to.
- Click Import.
The file must follow this structure:
{ "folderName": "My Resources", "bookmarks": [ { "title": "MDN Web Docs", "url": "https://developer.mozilla.org", "description": "The definitive web reference", "tags": "html,css,javascript", "favorite": true } ]
}
A new folder named after folderName is created and all bookmarks are placed inside it. If the file contains any errors, they are all reported at once and nothing is written — fix the issues and try again.
