What is Bookmark Manager?
A bookmark manager is a type of software used to store, organize, manage, and access bookmarks to websites and other online content. It serves as a central location to keep track of all your bookmarks instead of the often disjointed and limited bookmarking systems built into web browsers.
Key features of bookmark manager software typically include:
- Importing/exporting bookmarks from/to various browsers
- Organizing bookmarks with tags and hierarchical folders
- Searching bookmarks by titles, urls, tags, etc.
- Accessing bookmarks from any device with apps and cloud syncing
- Sharing bookmarks with others
- Bookmark backups to prevent losing them
- Webpage archiving and annotations
Benefits of using dedicated bookmark manager software can include increased productivity in re-finding valuable pages you've bookmarked before, less frustration with lost bookmarks, discovering relevant bookmarks using powerful search tools, gaining insights via bookmark tagging and analytics, and overall better knowledge management.
Popular bookmark manager apps include Evernote Web Clipper, Raindrop.io, Xmarks, Firefox Rocketbook, and Google Bookmarks Manager. Paid bookmark tools offer premium features like additional cloud storage, custom APIs, teams/collaboration capabilities, and more advanced analytics.
Raindrop.io, start.me, Diigo, Pinboard, xBrowserSync, Netvibes, Tagpacker, Shaarli, Saved.io, GGather, Firefox Sync are some alternatives to Bookmark Manager.
