MarkBench

About

MarkBench helps you clean up years of bookmark clutter — without uploading your links to the cloud.

Import a bookmark file (bookmarks.html) or read bookmarks already in your browser, then review everything in a fast, scrollable workbench. Built-in rules sort links into tidy folders; optional Google Gemini AI (your own API key) can suggest categories for anything still uncategorised.

Private by design

• Import, edit, and export run entirely on your device.
• Your bookmark lists stay in local extension storage.
• AI is off by default and only runs when you turn it on and add your own key.

What you can do

• Work with large libraries (tested with 10,000+ bookmarks)
• Find duplicates, bookmarklets, device-only links, and archived items
• Change categories in bulk, drag to reorder, edit titles and links inline
• Export as HTML or CSV
• Save to browser — replace your bookmarks bar or add a MarkBench - Organised folder, with an optional backup file first

Requirements

• Chrome 114 or newer (side panel)
• Bookmarks permission (to read and write bookmarks when you choose to save)

On install, a welcome tab opens with import options. Click the toolbar icon anytime to open the side panel.
