Download Fulwave BookmarkManager
Fulwave BookmarkManager showing a master library of 1,285 bookmarks. The sidebar lists All Bookmarks, Master, Chrome, Safari and the cleanup groups. A list of Apple bookmarks marked OK sits beside a detail pane with a live preview of the page and the buttons Open in Browser, Check This Link and Mark OK (Keep).

It works on its own copy

Fulwave BookmarkManager reads your Chrome and Safari bookmarks into its own library. Your browsers are never changed. When you are happy, it writes a file for Chrome or for Safari, and you import it.

Find what is broken

It finds duplicates, with a keeper chosen for each group, and checks every link. It can tell a missing page from a missing site, and it offers a live page nearby or, if you allow it, an archived copy. Mark a bookmark OK and it stops being flagged.

Keep a master

Clean up one browser, make it your master, and match another browser to it. See what is new in Chrome, bring in what you want, and export a file that makes Chrome match.

Browse your way

See everything in one list, or as folders laid out like Chrome (Bookmarks bar, Other bookmarks) or Safari (Favorites, Bookmarks Menu). Sort by title or by the date each bookmark was added.

Review, undo, save

Every import shows what would change before it happens. Undo what you do. Save your work as a file that keeps your notes and results, and, if you like, have the app open that file whenever it starts.

Private by design

No account and no analytics. Your bookmarks stay on your Mac. Link checks go straight from your Mac to the sites you bookmarked, and looking up archived copies is off until you turn it on. Once a day the app checks fulwave.com for a newer version, and you can turn that off. See the privacy policy.

Good to know

  • Requires macOS 14 or later. A Help window is built in.
  • It is free. The download is a free product on Lemon Squeezy, so it asks for an email address at checkout.
  • Safari's bookmarks are protected by macOS. Give the app Full Disk Access, or import a copy of the file. The Full Disk Access guide shows where that setting is.
