TinyBookmarker

TinyBookmarker is a tiny self-hosted bookmark manager for checking, cleaning and managing your bookmarks.

Tagline: Check, clean and manage your bookmarks.

What TinyBookmarker is

TinyBookmarker is built for people who want to:

• save bookmarks quickly
• keep favorites visible and useful
• organize bookmarks with collections and tags
• search, filter and sort efficiently
• review and clean up duplicates safely
• import and export bookmark data without losing trust
• keep the whole product lightweight and practical for self-hosting

What TinyBookmarker is not

TinyBookmarker is not primarily:

• a read-later app
• a reader-first product
• an archive-first product
• a knowledge-base-first tool
• a note-taking-first tool
• a technical dashboard

Archive, reader or AI-heavy features may be explored later, but they are not the product identity.

Core product areas

TinyBookmarker is centered around these main areas:

1. Bookmarks
2. Favorites
3. Collections
4. Tags
5. Duplicates
6. Import / Export

Core workflows

Save

• quick add
• sensible defaults
• duplicate preflight
• unsorted state for bookmarks that still need review inside All Bookmarks

Organize

• collections
• tags
• search / filter / sorting

Clean

• duplicate review
• safe merge
• undo-friendly flows
• bulk cleanup support

Migrate

• import

Early scope

Version 1 should focus on:

• bookmark saving and editing
• favorites
• collections and tags
• duplicate handling
• import / export
• browser roundtrip basics
• lightweight self-host deployment
• clear, calm UI / navigation

Self-hosting direction

TinyBookmarker should stay:

• lightweight
• easy to update
• easy to back up
• practical for small self-hosted setups
• realistic for Proxmox / Debian LXC

Guiding rule

Before adding a feature, ask:

Does this make TinyBookmarker better at checking, cleaning and managing bookmarks?

If not, it is probably too early or the wrong direction.
