The web is overflowing with information. Whether you’re saving research, must-read articles, or digital breadcrumbs for projects, a good bookmarking strategy is essential to cognitive productivity.

I just published a guide comparing 10 bookmarking tools and services for the Mac, including both well-known names and some powerful under-the-radar options. 🔍 Here’s a taste of what I covered:

• Raindrop.io – Visual and polished

• Pinboard – Minimalist, archival, scriptable

• Pins – Beautiful native app for Pinboard

• Safari Reading List – Simple and built-in

•  Instapaper – Clean reading + highlights

• Anybox – A Polished Bookmark Manager That Also Stores Files

•  GoodLinks – Markdown-friendly and local-first

•  Linkding – Self-hosted and private

•  DEVONthink – Power tool for researchers

•  Hookmark – Bookmark and link anything

Hookmark doesn’t just store bookmarks—it links your digital life together, working in tandem with tools like GoodLinks, Instapaper, Pinboard, and Linkding.

This post ties into the Surf strategically principle from my book Cognitive Productivity with macOS: 7 Principles for Getting Smarter with Knowledge. (There are plenty of videos in that book illustrating each app.)

I’d love to hear: What bookmarking tools do you use? And how do you keep your digital knowledge organized? Join the discussion on the pre-eminent universal bookmarking tool’s forum, the Hookmark forum.
