Bookmark Manager
Save your favorite links right in your browser. Bookmarks persist via localStorage — nothing is sent anywhere.
What Is a Bookmark Manager?
Browser bookmark bars have a way of becoming junk drawers — hundreds of saved pages, no order, never revisited. This bookmark manager is a simpler idea: a lightweight, private reading list that lives in your browser. Add a page's title and URL, and it appears in your list; delete individual entries or clear the whole list when you're done. Because it stores everything in your browser's local storage, your list is still here when you come back — with no account and nothing sent to any server.
Think of it as the "later" pile done right. Research for a project, articles queued for the weekend, references for the task at hand — short-lived collections that deserve better than a permanent home in your browser's cluttered bookmark tree, and better than being lost among forty open tabs. When the project ends, the list clears in one click, leaving no residue.
How to Use the Bookmark Manager
- Enter the page's title (any name that will mean something to you later).
- Paste the full URL, including the https:// part.
- Click "Add Bookmark" — it joins your list below.
- Click a saved bookmark to revisit the page; use Delete on entries you're finished with, or "Clear All" to reset the list.
How Storage Here Works
Your bookmarks are saved in localStorage — a small database built into your browser, tied to this site on this device. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or backed up elsewhere: the list persists between visits on this browser, survives restarts, and disappears if you clear this site's browser data (or use Clear All). The privacy upside is total: no server ever sees your reading list. The trade-off is equally clear: the list does not follow you to another browser, phone, or computer, so treat it as this device's working list, not your permanent archive.
Ideas for Getting Value From It
- One list per task: while researching, add everything promising; prune ruthlessly when the task ends.
- Prefix titles with a project code ("Trip:", "Work:") so a mixed list stays scannable.
- Weekly review habit: anything still unread after a week is usually a delete — the list stays honest and short.
Will my bookmarks still be here tomorrow?
Yes — localStorage persists across sessions on the same browser and device, so your list will be waiting when you return, even after a restart. The exceptions: clearing the browser's site data/cookies, using private/incognito mode (which discards local storage at the end of the session), or pressing Clear All. For permanent, synced storage, your browser's built-in bookmarks remain the right home.
Can anyone else see my bookmark list?
Only someone using this browser on this device. The data never travels to a server, is not associated with any account, and is not shared with us or any third party. That also means there is no password recovery or support access — the list is exactly as private, and exactly as device-bound, as a note in your desk drawer.
How is this different from my browser's bookmarks?
Scope and weight. Browser bookmarks are permanent, synced, and organized in folders — the archive. This manager is a temporary working list: faster to add to, designed to be cleared, and stored only locally. Many people use both — the browser for keepers, this page for the current project's stack of open questions.
Can I import my browser bookmarks or export this list?
There is no automatic import/export — entries are added by pasting a title and URL, which takes seconds each. If you need a portable copy of your list, the practical method is to open each bookmark and save it in your browser, or keep the URLs in a note. The tool deliberately stays minimal: no file handling, no permissions, nothing to configure.
