BookMacster

"BookMacster is the Bookmarks Master for the Mac."

Continuing on where other apps and services have left off, BookMacster merges and manages bookmarks in Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Camino, iCab, Opera and OmniWeb, and on the web with Delicious, Pinboard, and Google Bookmarks. When used with a file-syncing service in the cloud such as Dropbox™ or Jungle Disk™, BookMacster takes cross-browser bookmark syncing on the road to any Mac. BookMacster keeps bookmarks alphabetized (sorted), verified, and checked for duplicates. BookMacster supports tags, comments, and shortcuts. BookMacster users can add bookmarks directly from within browsers, and access all bookmarks while in any app from their menu bar.

What's your Usage Style?

One reason we call BookMacster The Bookmarks Master for the Mac is because, depending on how you count, it’s actually several apps in one. To give you a quick start, we’ve identified three typical Usage Styles.

Usage Style 1. You use only one web browser, such as Safari or Firefox or Chrome, but you wish to add capabilities such as sorting (alphabetizing), finding duplicates and verifying bookmarks to its built-in bookmarks storage.

Usage Style 2. You use multiple web browsers (Safari and Firefox, etc.) and wish to keep their built-in bookmarks synchronized with each other.

Usage Style 3. You want a more full-featured, cross-browser and portable replacement for the built-in bookmarks storage in your web browser(s), like URL Manager Pro except updated for today’s browsers.

Although picking a Usage Style helps you to get started, you can switch at any time, or mix things up to make your own Usage Style. And, regardless of style, activating BookMacster's cloud-syncing will sync these same bookmarks to all of your Macs, automatically.

What it can do for you...

The Bookmarkshelf you'll create in BookMacster is a document file which not only contains and manages your bookmarks, but also knows the Clients – web browsers and other places where you want them synced with. BookMacster supports Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome, Camino, Google Bookmarks, Delicious, Opera or OmniWeb. Most users combine all of their bookmarks into a single Bookmarkshelf. By checking a couple of boxes, you can move your Bookmarkshelf into your cloud folder using your preferred cloud-syncing service such as Dropbox, and tell a BookMacster Agent to keep your bookmarks synced across multiple browsers and multiple Macs. An Agent can also keep your bookmarks sorted (alphabetized), verified, and checked for duplicates. A typical Agent might automatically import bookmarks from one or more browsers or from the cloud whenever bookmarks changes are detected, merge them together, perform sorting or checking for duplicates, and then automatically export back out to one or more browser apps, and push them back to your Dropbox cloud so that your other Macs will get them.

Besides importing, you can add bookmarks directly to BookMacster using a bookmarklet. And besides exporting, you can access your bookmarks using BookMacster's menulet or Dock menu.

You can search for bookmarks, reorganize, and edit bookmarks' attributes. BookMacster carefully tracks and stores all these attributes — tags, shortcuts, keywords, descriptions, dates, folder location, and more, so that nothing is lost when importing and exporting back and forth from one browser to another. In addition to the browser apps on your Mac account, BookMacster can access bookmarks in user accounts on other networked Macs, and in loose files.
