What is Bookmark Manager?

Bookmark Manager helps you save, organize, and categorize your favorite links with custom folders and tags. Your bookmarks are stored locally — private and always accessible without any account.

Each bookmark stores a URL, title, optional note, tags, and folder assignment. Everything sits in your device's localStorage, so the list survives a tab close but never leaves the machine. Export the whole set as JSON to back it up or move it to another device, export to CSV to open the list in a spreadsheet, and import the JSON again to restore.

How to use

1. Add a new bookmark by entering its URL, title, and selecting or creating a category folder.
2. Organize bookmarks with drag-and-drop sorting, tags, and folders you can rename or remove.
3. Search and filter your bookmarks instantly, then export the whole collection as JSON to back it up or as CSV to open in a spreadsheet.

When to use

• Research project where you need 30+ links sorted by sub-topic and surfaced fast
• Shared device where the browser's built-in bookmarks would mix with someone else's
• Cross-browser link library you can ship as a single JSON file between Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

Result

You're researching a topic and want to save 15 links organized by subtopic. Create folders like 'Background', 'Data Sources', and 'References', then drag each bookmark into the right folder.

FAQ

Where are my bookmarks actually saved?

In your browser's localStorage under the keys freetools-bookmark-manager and freetools-bookmark-folders. Clearing site data or browsing privately will erase them, so export the JSON file before doing a deep clean.

Can I sync the same list across my laptop and phone?

Not automatically. Export the JSON on one device, send it to yourself (email, Drive, AirDrop), then import on the other. The same approach works for moving between Chrome and Firefox.

Is there a limit on how many bookmarks I can save?

localStorage gives most browsers 5 to 10 MB per site, which is enough room for several thousand bookmarks with full URLs, titles, and tags. You'll hit search lag before you hit the storage cap.

Can I import a bookmarks.html file from Chrome, Firefox, or Safari?

Yes. The Import button now reads the standard bookmarks HTML file that Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge produce — it pulls in every link and turns each folder heading into a folder here. You can still import the tool's own JSON export for a full backup. CSV export is only for opening the list in a spreadsheet, not for re-importing.

Do my bookmarks send any data to your server?

No. The page loads, runs locally, and reads or writes only to localStorage on your device. Nothing about the URLs you save is sent anywhere.
