The best bookmark managers in 2026, compared

There is no single best bookmark manager. The right one depends on how many links you keep, which devices you use, and whether you want folders, tags or AI to find things again. Here are nine options, starting with the bookmark manager already built into Chrome, with what each costs and the catch with each.

Updated 12 October 2026

We make Trezio, one of the options below. It is one choice among several, and for plenty of people another tool here will suit better; we say where. Prices, free plans and platforms come from each app's own website or help pages, checked on 12 October 2026.

Every option here except Chrome lives outside your browser, so it keeps working if you switch browsers. Chrome's paid column is empty because it has none; it is simply part of Chrome.

Chrome's bookmark manager

The bookmark manager most people already use. Open it from Chrome's menu under Bookmarks and lists, then Bookmark Manager, to edit, move, sort and file bookmarks into folders. Sign in to Chrome with your Google Account and your bookmarks follow you to your other devices. Type @bookmarks in the address bar to search them.

For
Anyone with a manageable number of links who lives in Chrome
Price
Free, part of Chrome
Standout
Zero setup, and it exports a standard HTML bookmarks file
The catch
Google's help pages describe folders, not tags, notes or previews, and your bookmarks stay inside Chrome

Work in any browser

Cloud bookmark managers

Bookmark manager

Raindrop.io

The most complete bookmark manager on this list: nested collections, tags, highlights, shared collections and apps for every major platform. Pro adds permanent copies of pages, full-text search, an AI assistant, and broken-link and duplicate finders.

For
A large library you want on every device
Free
Unlimited bookmarks, collections, tags and devices
Pro
$2.99/month or $27.99/year (US App Store)
The catch
Page copies, full-text search and backups are Pro-only

How Raindrop.io compares with Trezio

Links and notes

Trezio

A calm library for links, text notes, screenshots and voice notes, with nested folders, tags and favourites. AI summaries and tag suggestions are there when you ask for them, on every plan. It also keeps logins in an encrypted vault: they are encrypted on your device and the master password never leaves it.

For
Links, notes and saved logins in one place
Free
100 items, 5 folders, 1 vault
Pro
$3.70/month, or $2.95/month billed yearly
The catch
Web, Chrome and Android only, with no iPhone or desktop version; search covers titles, notes and tags, not the text of saved pages
Tab manager

Toby

Built around tabs rather than single links: save and organize the tabs you have open, so you can close them with confidence. It has extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, a web app and mobile apps.

For
People who juggle sets of tabs for projects
Free
Up to 60 saved tabs
Paid
$6/month, or $4.50/month billed yearly, per member
The catch
The free plan fills fast; past 60 tabs you can still open them but not save new ones
Bookmark manager

Pinboard

A deliberately plain bookmarking site with no ads or trackers. Save from virtually any browser. The archiving add-on keeps copies of your pages, searches their full text and checks for dead links.

For
People who want a fast, simple list of links
Price
$22/year; $39/year with archiving
The catch
No free plan or trial, only a seven-day refund window

Less filing, more looking

Visual and AI-first

Visual, AI

mymind

"Folders are dead," says mymind. Save links, images and notes and it tags and sorts them for you, so you find things by searching rather than filing. It promises no ads and no invasive tracking.

For
Visual thinkers who never want to organize by hand
Plans
The Bookmarker $4.99/month (no AI); Student of Life $7.99/month or $79/year; Mastermind $12.99/month or $129/year
The catch
No free plan is listed on its pricing page, and there are no folders if you like them
Apple only

Anybox

A native bookmark manager for Mac, iPhone and iPad that syncs through iCloud. Nested tags and folders, smart lists, a floating bookmarks dock on the Mac, and pages saved as PDF, web archive or screenshot.

For
People who use only Apple devices
Free
Most features, up to 50 links
Pro
$1.99/month, $14.99/year or $39.99 lifetime
The catch
Nothing for Windows or Android

How to choose

Four questions that narrow it down

Folders, tags or AI?

  • Folders are enough: Chrome's bookmark manager or Pinboard
  • Folders plus tags: Raindrop.io, Trezio, Anybox
  • Let AI sort it: mymind, or Karakeep if you self-host

Which devices?

  • iPhone, iPad or Mac app: Raindrop.io, Anybox, mymind
  • Windows desktop app: Raindrop.io
  • Web, Chrome and Android are enough: Trezio works too

Do you want to host it?

  • Yes, and you have a server: Karakeep or Linkwarden
  • No: any of the hosted apps

What will you pay?

  • Nothing at all: Chrome, Raindrop.io's free plan (no bookmark cap), or self-hosting
  • A few dollars a month: Raindrop.io Pro, Trezio Pro, Anybox Pro, Karakeep Pro
  • Once a year: Pinboard

Also ask what else you save. If notes, screenshots or logins sit next to your links, an app that keeps them together (Trezio, mymind, Karakeep) saves you a second tool.

Managing bookmarks in Chrome

Clean up and move your Chrome bookmarks

  1. Export from Chrome

    Open Chrome's menu, then Bookmarks and lists, then Bookmark Manager. In its menu choose Export Bookmarks, and Chrome saves your bookmarks as an HTML file.

  2. Clean the file

    Drop it into the free bookmark cleaner to strip duplicates, empty folders and broken or non-web links. It runs in your browser and never uploads the file.

  3. Import it

    HTML is the standard bookmarks format, so most managers can import it; Raindrop.io and Trezio both do. In Trezio, go to Settings, then Import; folders come across, and the free plan stops at 100 items.

Staying with Chrome? You can import the cleaned file back in from Chrome's menu under Bookmarks and lists, Import bookmarks and settings. Step-by-step help: Import from another bookmark manager.

FAQ

Questions about bookmark managers

What is the best bookmark manager for Chrome?

It depends on the job. If your bookmarks only need to follow you between your own Chrome browsers, Chrome's built-in bookmark manager is free and already there. For a large library with tags on every device, Raindrop.io is the most complete, with a free plan that has no bookmark limit. Toby suits people who mostly save groups of tabs. Trezio suits people who want links, notes, screenshots and saved logins in one place, on the web, in Chrome and on Android.

Is Chrome's bookmark manager enough?

For many people, yes. It is free, keeps folders, syncs across your devices when you sign in to Chrome with your Google Account, and searches your bookmarks when you type @bookmarks in the address bar. Google's help pages describe folders, not tags, notes or previews, and the bookmarks live inside Chrome. If you have hundreds of links, use more than one browser, or want to find things by topic rather than by folder, a separate bookmark manager starts to pay off.

What is the best free bookmark manager?

Raindrop.io has the most generous free plan of the hosted apps here: unlimited bookmarks, collections, tags and devices. Chrome's own bookmark manager costs nothing. If you can run a server, Karakeep and Linkwarden are free to self-host. Other free plans are capped: Toby at 60 saved tabs, Karakeep's hosted plan and Anybox at 50 links, and Trezio at 100 items and 5 folders.

Which bookmark managers work on iPhone?

Raindrop.io, mymind, Anybox, Toby, Karakeep and Linkwarden all list iPhone apps. Anybox runs only on Apple devices. Trezio does not have an iPhone or iPad app; it runs on the web, in Chrome and on Android.

Can I self-host a bookmark manager?

Yes. Karakeep and Linkwarden are open source and free to run on your own server, and Karakeep's self-hosted version has no bookmark limit. Karakeep focuses on automatic AI tagging and can use local models; Linkwarden focuses on keeping full copies of pages. Both also sell a hosted version if you would rather not run it yourself.

How do I move my Chrome bookmarks to another bookmark manager?

Open Chrome's Bookmark Manager, choose Export Bookmarks from its menu, and Chrome saves an HTML file. That is the standard bookmarks format; Raindrop.io and Trezio both import it, for example. Clean it first if you like: the free Trezio bookmark cleaner removes duplicates and empty folders in your browser without uploading the file.

How much does Trezio cost?

The free plan holds 100 items, 5 folders and 1 vault, with AI summaries and tag suggestions included. Pro removes the limits and adds HTML export and Google Drive backup for $3.70 a month, or $2.95 a month billed yearly ($35.40 a year). There is no trial; Pro is charged when you subscribe.
