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.
