------------

I built #TagChoose to solve my own problem: bookmark-saving anxiety.

When I needed a link I’d saved weeks ago, it was often faster to re-Google it than dig through dozens of folders. I tried being more thoughtful about where to save things — but that just slowed me down. So I built a better way: an AI-powered auto-categorizer that saves bookmarks into multiple relevant folders, instantly.

💡 What It Does

#TagChoose is a privacy-first Chrome extension that uses Google’s on-device AI to tag and organize your bookmarks — without ever sending data to the cloud.

📌 Save the current tab with a shortcut
📌 Edit the bookmark title (default is the page title)
📌 Pick from AI-generated tags — or select your own from a dropdown list of folders
📌 Bookmarks are saved into folders matching your chosen tags
📌 Each bookmark can live in multiple places at once
📌 It’s like smart folders, powered by local AI.

🔑 Key Features

📌 AI-Generated Tags – Suggested instantly by Gemini Nano, running fully on your device
📌 Folders = Tags – Tags map to folders in your bookmarks bar
📌 Multi-Folder Saving – One bookmark can appear in several folders at once
📌 Title Editing – Change the bookmark title before saving
📌 Manual Tag Control – Override or refine suggestions via dropdown list of existing folders
