Getting Started

Welcome to Whiskey Bookmark Manager

Whiskey Bookmark Manager is a high-performance and free bookmark manager. Save unlimited tabs, organize sessions, and clear memory. No accounts. No cloud. Local-first.

🚀

Fast & Local

Your data stays on your device. No cloud delays, no privacy concerns.

🏷️

Tag Everything

Use intuitive hashtags to filter tabs across all your collections.

🧹

De-Duplication

Automatically find and merge duplicate tabs to save memory.


Spaces & Collections

The hierarchy is simple:

  • 1
    Spaces

    High-level contexts like "Work", "Personal", or "Project X". Each space has its own independent list of collections.

  • 2
    Collections

    Folders within a space. This is where your actual tabs live.

  • 3
    Cards (Tabs)

    Individual bookmarks/tabs. You can drag and drop them to reorder.

Tags & Colors

🏷️ #Hashtags

Start typing # when editing any card to add a tag. Tags are global—click a tag in the Sidebar to filter bookmarks across all your spaces instantly.

🎨 Color Coding

Assign colors to spaces or individual cards for visual grouping. Use the Color Filter in the Sidebar to see only red, blue, or green items.

Smart Sorting

Chaos in your tab strip? The Smart Sort feature (beta) helps you organize instantly.

1. Enter Smart Sort Mode

Click the Sort Icon (Arrow Up/Down) in the header. Tabs will visually reorder in the dashboard preview. This is safe—nothing moves in your browser yet.

2. Apply Changes

If you like the new order, click the Checkmark button. Only then will your actual browser tabs be rearranged.

Duplicate Finder

Whiskey Bookmark Manager scans not just for exact URL matches, but for "Smart Matches" too—ignoring tracking IDs that make identical pages look different.

How it works

Click the Duplicate Finder button in the sidebar (or top right).
We'll show you groups of identical tabs. You can close all duplicates with one click, keeping just the one you need.

Smart Ignore

We automatically ignore tracking parameters like utm_source or fbclid.
example.com?ref=twitter == example.com

Configuration

Need to ignore custom params? Go to Settings > Search > Duplicate Finder Ignored Parameters to add your own comma-separated list.

Stashing Tabs

Overwhelmed? Clear your browser window in one click.
