Chrome extension

Find what you saved,
even when you forgot where.

Bookmarks is a native-feeling manager for large Chrome bookmark collections. It adds instant search, Resurface, a newest-first feed, sorting, and bulk cleanup without moving your data into another service.

Your bookmarks stay in Chrome · No account required · Local-first by design · Optional supporter tier

Why it feels better

You stop organizing first and start finding first.

Find the bookmark even if the folder name is gone from memory

Search titles, URLs, hosts, and folder paths. Add site or folder filters with one click instead of remembering operator syntax.

Resurface

Jump back into what you were just working on

Resurface shows recent opens, recent saves, resume folders, and saved searches so the manager can bring context back without extra setup.

Feed

See your newest bookmarks across everything in one stream

The all-links feed gives you one continuous newest-first view of saved links, so you can answer “what did I just save?” instantly.

What it does

Search, resurface, clean up, and stay native.

Find

Search across the whole collection

Results are ranked by title match, hostname, folder path, and recency, with chip-based filters layered on top.

Clickable site and folder chips
site: and in: operators when you want more control
Sort search results by relevance, name, date, or kind
Saved searches for heavier use

Organize

Clean up without losing manual control

Sort one folder, a branch, the whole tree, or a result set. Then bulk move, delete, export, or create a new folder from the items you picked.

Sort by name, date, or kind at the scope you choose
Bulk select with Shift-click or Ctrl/Cmd+A
Import from another browser and export as HTML
Undo accidental deletes

Browse

Start from recent context instead of a cold folder tree

Resurface and the all-links feed give you faster ways back into your bookmarks than manually reopening branches one by one.

Recent opens and recent saves
Resume folders you keep returning to
All-links feed sorted newest first
Resizable sidebar with a native split-view feel

Stay native

Keeps Chrome's bookmark model intact

Your bookmarks stay in Chrome. Pick the edition that fits how close to native you want the experience to feel.

Companion Edition keeps native Chrome bookmarks as default
Default Edition replaces chrome://bookmarks
No separate account or sync system
Built around Chrome's own bookmark database

Why it exists

Chrome already has the right basic model. Most people do not need another bookmarking service, another account, or another place their saved links have to live.

What breaks down is retrieval. As the collection grows, finding, sorting, and revisiting bookmarks gets slower than it should be.

The goal is simple: you stop thinking about organizing first, and just find what you saved.

How it works

Works with what you already have

Pick the edition that fits your workflow

Use Companion if you want a smarter manager alongside native Chrome bookmarks. Use Default if you want this to become the bookmark manager at chrome://bookmarks.

Open bookmarks the same way you already do

Same mental model, same folders, same Chrome database. The difference is that search, Resurface, bulk actions, and feed views are there when you need them.

Your data stays where Chrome already keeps it

Bookmarks stay in Chrome. The extension only stores local preferences and optional local-only helper data such as saved searches and recent-use signals for Resurface.

Pricing

FAQ

Common questions

What is Resurface?

Resurface is the home view. It brings back recent opens, recent saves, resume folders, site jumps, and saved searches so you can get back into active work without drilling down manually first.

What is the all-links feed?

It is a continuous newest-first view of bookmarks across your whole collection. Instead of opening folders, you can scan the latest links you saved in one place and jump straight back in.

What is the difference between Companion and Default edition?

Companion leaves native Chrome bookmarks unchanged and opens this manager separately. Default replaces chrome://bookmarks so this manager becomes the standard bookmark page.

Does it send my bookmark data anywhere?

No bookmark data is sent to our servers. We actually don't have any servers. The product is local-first. It stores some local-only preferences and optional history signals inside the browser to power features like Resurface, saved searches, and local share packages.

What permissions does it need?

The core extension uses the bookmarks permission to read, search, create, edit, move, reorder, import, export, and delete bookmarks and folders.

Is it free?

Yes. Free is the main product. The paid tier is optional and intentionally narrow right now. It is for people who want saved searches, advanced Resurface editing, and clean share packages without touching the free core manager.

Why would I pick the supporter tier?

Pick it if you want saved searches, advanced Resurface editing, and a fast way to package folders or search selections into something you can actually send to someone else. Export stays free. Pro is for deeper workflow control and more polished sharing, plus helping fund future heavy-use tools.
