Bookmarks.io – Searchable Bookmarks

ss-bookmarks.io

Bookmarking web pages is easy. It’s keeping all those bookmarks organized and remembering what you’ve saved that can sometimes be a pain. Bookmarks.io is a bookmarking application that helps people do more than just save links, providing ample space to add notes to bookmarks for fast sorting and filtering.

Add the Bookmarks.io bookmarklet tool to your browser toolbar, and then click the bookmarklet every time you come across a site you’d like to save. For each site you save, you can add notes and tags. When it comes time to reference those sites, you can get access to your Bookmarks.io account from any computer or mobile device. Your favorite bookmarks are clearly organized on your “speed dial,” in a way that looks similar to Pinterest with a Polaroid-style image, the site title, and a link. Bookmarks are also presented in chronological order on the left-hand side of the page.

What really makes Bookmarks.io different from other bookmarking applications is its search capabilities. With Bookmarks.io, you can search the entire contents of any web page you bookmark through the app. Just type in any keywords you remember being included on the page you saved, and Bookmarks.io will pull up the bookmark right away.

Practical Uses:

  • Save a recipe to refer back to later
  • Get access to your bookmarks on multiple devices
  • Search through the websites you’ve bookmarked by keyword
  • Quickly get access to your favorite websites by visiting your “speed dial” page

Insider Tips:

  • Bookmarks.io uses HTML5 application cache to quickly load saved bookmarks
  • Bookmarks can be accessed from the iPhone
  • The application is written in Python using the Django web framework

What we liked:

  • Bookmarks.io works on all the most popular browsers
  • Saved bookmarks load very quickly, regardless of the browser you’re using
  • It’s easy to search through bookmarks when they’re laid out in a Pinterest-style format
  • Users don’t have to worrying about filing their bookmarks into folders

What we didn’t like:

  • Bookmarks.io charges users a monthly fee, whereas many competing bookmarking applications are offered for free

Costs:

  • $2.49 per month
