Share links, Boards for Pro, and adding sites without visiting them

This release is about getting your bookmarks out of the extension and in front of other people. There's a new Share button that turns your collection into a link anyone can open, Boards are no longer a Teams-only feature, and you can now add a website by pasting its URL instead of having to go visit the page first.

Share your collection with a link

Until now, everything you saved lived inside your own extension. If you wanted to show a client, a colleague, or a friend what you'd collected, you were screenshotting or copying links one at a time.

There is now a Share button in the toolbar. Flip link sharing on and you get a URL to a read-only version of your collection — full previews, images, the same layout you're used to. Whoever you send it to opens it in any browser. They don't need Bookmarkify, they don't need an account, they don't need to sign up for anything.

A few things worth knowing:

  • It's read-only. Viewers can't add, edit, delete, or comment. It's a presentation of your collection, not a workspace.
  • It stays current. As you keep saving, the link updates itself. You don't have to re-share or re-publish anything.
  • It's on the free plan. This isn't a paid feature. Sharing a collection is a big part of what makes bookmarking worth doing at all, so everyone gets it.
  • You can switch it off, or replace it. Turning link sharing off kills the page instantly. Creating a new link revokes the old one, which is what you want when a link has ended up somewhere you didn't intend.

If you're on Pro or Pro Team, the share dialog has one extra control: Include my boards. Off by default, because publishing client work shouldn't be something that happens by accident. Turn it on and the dialog tells you exactly which boards get folded into that one link before you commit to it.

Boards are now included with Pro

Boards were built for agencies — a separate board per client, each with its own share link, so a client only ever sees their own work. That was a Teams feature. But a freelancer juggling four clients has the same problem an agency does, so Boards are now part of individual Pro.

You get unlimited boards. Your board row sits above your bookmarks and reads something like My bookmarks · Acme · Northwind · + New board — click through to switch, and whatever you're looking at is where new saves land. When you save from the extension, the board picker lets you aim it directly.

Each board gets its own share link. Your client clicks it, lands on the board, and that's all they can see — no other boards, no other clients, no account signup.

What they can do on that board depends on your plan:

  • On Pro, your clients can view and comment. They can leave notes on anything you've put on the board, which turns it into the feedback loop instead of another email thread. What goes on the board stays your call.
  • On Pro Team, your clients can view, comment and add sites themselves. They can drop in the references and competitors they want you to see, straight onto the board, without an account.

That's the difference between showing a client your work and actually collaborating with them on it. Either way you get up to 50 guests per board and unlimited comments.

Pro Team also gets white-label boards — put your own logo, agency name, and brand colour on the board your client opens, so it reads as your tool rather than ours.

Add a website without visiting it

The extension has always been the fastest way to save a page you're already looking at. But that's not always the situation. Someone sends you three links in Slack. You've got a URL in a doc. You know the site you want to add and you don't feel like opening it.

Click the + in the app and an add bar opens up. Paste the URL — figma.com is fine, you don't need to type out the whole thing — pick your tags from the chips underneath, or create a new tag right there. Hit Add website.

Bookmarkify goes and fetches the page's title and preview image itself, so the card looks exactly like it would have if you'd saved it from the page. If you've already got it saved, it'll tell you instead of quietly making a duplicate. And it respects wherever you currently are — if you're in a client board, that's where the site gets added.

The extension is still the better tool when you're on the page. This is for every other time.

A cleaner toolbar, and controls where you'd expect them

Edit mode is gone. It was a mode you had to remember to turn on, and everything behind it was really a per-bookmark action anyway.

So those actions now live on the bookmark. Hover a card and you get its own controls — edit it, run a design analysis on it, jump straight into fullscreen on it. Running an analysis used to be toggle a mode, find the card, click, toggle back. Now it's one click on the card you're already looking at. Reordering works off a proper drag handle instead of depending on edit mode being active.

That freed up the toolbar, which is where the new Share button went — the one action whose whole value is being easy to find.

The view-mode dropdown picked up a Display & tags flyout: all the show/hide toggles (titles, images, videos, tags, descriptions, websites) in one place, plus a new Manage tags panel for renaming and clearing out tags you've stopped using. Delete all bookmarks moved into the More menu, where a destructive action belongs, rather than sitting one click from the grid.

More room on the free plan, and you can see it now

The free plan goes from 12 bookmarks to 25. More usefully, there's now a usage meter in the save popup, so you can see where you stand as you fill it up. Before this, the ceiling announced itself as an error message at the worst possible moment — you'd go to save something and just be told no. A limit you can see coming is a decision; a limit you hit face-first is just annoying.

Alongside that, a few things are now enforced the way they were always described: moodboard view and dark mode are Pro features, weekly design analyses on free are 2 instead of 3, and custom tags on free are capped at 15. Four view modes, saving images, tagging and the new read-only share link all stay free.

Fixes

Some of these were bad, so I'd rather say so plainly:

  • A lapsed subscription could delete every team you owned, not just the one tied to the subscription. Deletion now requires an explicit team and re-verifies ownership.
  • Members of a team whose owner downgraded kept Pro access indefinitely.
  • A member removed from a team could never join another team afterwards, and in some cases their card could be charged for the team owner's seat changes.
  • The Teams member list was shipping without its stylesheet. Packaging now fails outright if anything in the build references a file that isn't in it.
  • "Manage subscription" and the premium link in the footer both went to a dead page. Both open your Stripe billing portal now.
  • Saved YouTube links show a thumbnail with a play button instead of autoplaying, so a board full of videos stays quiet and fast.

Update from the Chrome Web Store, or reload the extension if it hasn't picked it up yet. As always — if something's broken or you want something added, tell me.

Free Canvas Mode is here



We've completely reimagined how you can organize your bookmarks. Canvas Mode gives you an infinite, freeform workspace where your bookmarks come to life — no more rigid grids.

What's new:

  • Infinite canvas — Pan and zoom freely across an unlimited workspace. Drag your bookmarks anywhere and resize them however you like.
  • Sticky notes — Add colorful notes directly alongside your bookmarks to capture thoughts, reminders, or context.
  • Rich text pages — Create full documents on the canvas with headers, formatted text, and checklists — great for keeping reference material next to your links.
  • Visual connectors — Draw lines between elements to show relationships, build mind maps, or link related bookmarks together.
  • Canvas folders — Group bookmarks into folders right on the canvas. Double-click to dive in, drag items in and out, and nest folders as deep as you need.
  • Undo / redo — Made a mistake? Step back and forward through your changes with full undo/redo support.
  • Auto-organize — One click to snap everything into a clean grid layout.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — Delete, duplicate, nudge, select all, and more — all from the keyboard.
