Mac OS Platinum theme.


I keep my bookmarks where they belong (usually in browser, with tags). I search interactively in a terminal (with a custom script and alias). It works well to select and open topic-related bookmarks at once.

uBlock Origin


I do something similar with interactive fuzzy search (CLI), and the search experience is quite good for me, even with limited tagging. Links contain a lot a useful information...


Yeah, if the search is not about something too niche I can find results using the search feature of my share links instance.

Here's a recent example; I searched for "search engine", and found the article I wanted to share ("A look at search engines with their own indexes" by seirdy).


Interactive fuzzy search of bookmarks, with multiple selection (thanks to fzf). Various sources (browsers, files) and URI schemes are supported.

Bookmarks should stay where they belong. I wrote this script to avoid duplicating them to another database/file (as most bookmark managers do).

Tip : macOS `open` command handles URI schemes, meaning it's possible to search, select and open at once links for http, ssh, ftp, local directories, etc..

If it does what I think it does, then you've found the holy grail.


Yes, I have completely given up actually.


There's a "strings" implementation in the PerlPowerTools : https://metacpan.org/pod/PerlPowerTools


TIL. Good addon for w32 perl users.

I've written a Perl script that print bookmarks from Safari/Firefox/Chrome/Edge as <title><url><description>, but maybe it's too raw.

I might add other formatting options (HTML or Template Toolkit) if there's enough interest.
