Burn After Reading

About

📂 End the "Bookmark Graveyard"

We’ve all been there: you bookmark a technical article, a gift idea, or a documentation page "for later," only for it to sit in your bookmarks bar for years. Your bookmarks shouldn't be a landfill—they should be a workspace.

💣Burn After Reading is the first privacy-first bookmark manager that automates your digital hygiene. It turns temporary links into self-destructing reminders, keeping your browser fast, organized, and focused.

✨Why you need it:
- Automatic Decluttering: Stop manual cleanups. Set a timer, and the extension handles the rest.
- Peace of Mind: Never worry about losing a link. If something expires by mistake, our metadata-only Recycle Queue lets you restore it with one click.
- Reduced Digital Anxiety: A clean bookmarks bar leads to a clearer mind. Identify what's actually important vs. what's just "noise."
- Workflow Speed: Use right-click presets (1 day, 1 week, etc.) to bake link-expiration into your existing browsing habits.
- 100% Privacy: No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. Your bookmarks are your business. Burn After Reading processes everything locally on your machine.

✨ Core Features:
- **Context-Aware**: Right-click any page or link to "Burn After Reading" in a preset duration.
- **Flexible Settings**: Enable "Auto-Expire" to automatically set a 7-day timer on every new bookmark you create.
- **Glassmorphic Dashboard**: A beautiful, modern interface to monitor your active timers and restore recently expired links.
- **Zero Resource Impact**: Built with performant Vanilla JS to ensure your browser stays snappy.

🛠 How it Works:
1. Bookmark a page as you normally would.
2. Open the **Burn After Reading** popup or right-click the page.
3. Choose your duration (e.g., "7 Days").
4. The extension will automatically remove the bookmark once time is up.
