What it does

Built for people who collect. Tabs, articles, references, tools, recipes. The browser's default bookmark UI does not scale past 500 entries. This does.

Side-panel manager

Pin the manager beside the current tab, drag links into collections, and keep the rest of your browser exactly as it is.

Tags on top of folders

Keep the existing folder tree, but layer tags so the same bookmark can belong to "research" and "read later" without duplication.

Fast search

Type to filter across titles, URLs, folders, and tags. Results appear in real time with the matched substring highlighted in the row.

Export to HTML, JSON, Markdown

Move bookmarks into Obsidian, Notion, Raindrop, Pinboard, or a static page. Three formats, one click each, no manual cleanup.

Dead-link cleanup

Scan all bookmarks, flag 404s and timeouts, and bulk-archive or delete what no longer works. Run it on demand, never automatically.

Drag-and-drop and dark mode

Reorder folders, drag links between collections, and switch to dark mode that respects your system theme. Built for long sessions.

How it works

Four steps from install to a tagged, searchable, exportable library.

1

Pin to the side panel

After installing, click the puzzle icon in Chrome, find Bookmark Manager Pro, and pin it. Open the side panel and your current bookmarks appear instantly.

Tag and clean

Add a tag to one bookmark or to a whole folder. Run the dead-link scan when the library starts feeling stale. Remove or archive in bulk.

Export to your tool of choice

Pick a format. The export runs locally and downloads instantly. Use HTML for browser import, JSON for scripting, Markdown for note tools.

Runs locally in Chrome

Your bookmarks are not uploaded to any server. The extension reads from Chrome's bookmark store, indexes locally, and writes only to your machine. There is no account and no cloud sync.

Frequently asked questions

The questions every new user asks before installing.

Is it free?
Yes. The full feature set above is free, no card and no signup. A Pro tier is planned for cross-device sync and scheduled health checks, but everything in the current release stays free forever.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Search, tagging, drag-and-drop, and exports all run locally inside Chrome and need no network. The dead-link scan needs network because it has to fetch URLs, but the rest works on a plane.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Bookmarks, tags, search history, and export files all stay on your machine. The extension makes one network call on first launch (anonymous install ping) and that is it. No accounts, no analytics on bookmark contents.
How do I install?
Click Add to Chrome, accept the standard permissions (bookmarks, side panel, downloads), then open the side panel from the puzzle icon. The current bookmark library is detected automatically.
Does it work on Edge, Brave, or Opera?
Yes. Any Chromium-based browser that supports the side-panel API can install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. Edge and Brave are tested. Firefox is not supported because it uses a different extension format.
How do I uninstall?
Right-click the extension icon and pick Remove from Chrome. Bookmarks are not affected because the extension reads from Chrome's bookmark store, it does not move them. Anything you organized stays exactly as it was.
