bookmarks.txt: A Simple, Text-Based Bookmark Manager
2025-08-28
bookmarks.txt offers a streamlined approach to bookmark management using plain text files. Bookmarked URLs are stored in files named bookmarks.txt, with a simple format: one URL per line, optionally including a title (space-separated). A global bookmarks file resides at $HOME/bookmarks.txt, while project-specific bookmarks can be stored in local bookmarks.txt files. The project includes a script, bin/bookmarks, for listing and adding bookmarks, but building custom tools is also encouraged. Combined with fzf, it provides a powerful fuzzy search and open functionality. This lightweight, customizable solution prioritizes simplicity and extensibility.
