8 Great Safari Extensions for Bookmark and Tab Management

Whether you need assistance managing tons of bookmarks or regularly work with many open tabs at once, these tools can lighten your load.

Although browsers have evolved to become more fast, secure, and effective, they have not adapted well to meet the challenge of managing a large amount of information. The users of web browsers today swim in a sea of mess of unorganized tabs and bookmarks.

Browser extensions or add-ons improve the browsing experience by letting you group related tabs, save reference links with proper metadata, and selectively curate your topics of interest. We’ll explore some Safari extensions to manage bookmarks or if you work with many tabs at once.

Note: Legacy Safari extensions are no longer supported from macOS Catalina. Apple has migrated from the traditional extension mechanism to Web Extension, similar to those you find in Chrome Web Store.

Be the Boss of Your Bookmarks

You save links to articles, items you want to buy, news sources you want to track, and other favorites all the time. But when it comes to accessing the bookmarks, the disorganized folder makes it tough to find the links . These useful extensions can help you get to the sites you want quickly and easily.

1. Raindrop.io

Raindrop.io is a vibrant bookmark manager that stores your bookmarks online. What this means is that your bookmarks sync across the devices without any limitations put by the browser-controlled ecosystem. You can save any webpage, organize them in different collections, and add tags. It’s also possible to mark your favorites, nest folder, sort bookmarks by date, name, or site.

You can search bookmarks by details, URL, tag, type, date, or cached content. When you have many tabs open, click Tabs located in the bottom-left corner of a window. The saved tabs will have a tag with the date. The Pro version of Raindrop.io automatically creates a cached copy of your bookmarks. So even if a link is dead, you can still access them on the site.

2. G App Launcher

G App Launcher is the extension to access Google sites and services. At first thought, you might think, why would anyone need this add-on when many Google apps are a click or press away. It gives you access to some rare Google services you might not have heard of, but might come helpful in many situations.

For example, you can create a shortcut of Google Trends, Scholar, Jobs on Google, Opinion Rewards, Play Academy, Flights, Advanced Search, Google Design, Research, and much more. In addition, you can create custom shortcuts for any websites.

Click the Settings button to see the list of available shortcuts on the left, and to the right is the panel for your shortcuts. Now drag-and-drop the bookmarks from left panel to the right. You can even sort your selection via the Sort button.

3. GoodLinks

GoodLinks is a read-it later and bookmarking app. While it offers functionality similar to Raindrop.io, the app uses Cloudkit to sync articles across your Apple devices. It extracts the article text and offers you different customization options to provide a wonderful reading experience.

To get started, click the extension icon, add a tag or summary, then click Add . When you open the app, you’ll see an organized view of your saved pages. You can categorize pages into Unread, Starred, Untagged, and Read. GoodLinks has extensive support of Siri Shortcuts, URL scheme, and beautiful widgets to quickly access your article list.

Tackle Too Many Tabs

While tabs have become an integral part of how people navigate the web, they continue to represent as simple, ordered lists of pages with limited contextual cues and understanding of high-level tasks. If you're looking for a Safari tab manager, these extensions can help you organize tabs, prevent tab clutter, and cut distractions.

1. Safari Tab Groups

Most of us switch between several tabs during an average browsing session, and keeping them organized is not easy. The Safari Tab Groups feature lets you bundle relevant tabs together and switch between them whenever necessary. You can label Tab Groups with custom names to identify them, and use them in various ways.

For example, you can tab group per topic (Finance, Health), project (Clients, Freelancing), or type. To get started, follow our guide on using Safari tabs for Mac . Any tab group you create sync across your Apple devices, allow some degree of organization to prevent clutter, and personalization. Depending upon your use case and goal for browsing, there are differences between bookmarks and tab groups .

2. Tab Space

Imagine you’re doing research for a project. After browsing through a dozen or more links, you got some great information you want to reference later on. Since you haven’t taken any action, you can save these tabs in a separate session. That’s the primary role of the Tab Space extension.

It provides an intuitive workspace to see your saved sessions with the date and time stamps. The colorful buttons at the top-right open your tabs in bulk and automatically remove them from the session list. Or, you can export the tabs as Text, HTML, Markdown, and as a backup file.

While saving tabs, you can set options to ignore pinned, duplicate, or include tabs from all windows. For each session, you can edit tab titles, tag, or merge tabs with the earlier session. The built-in shortcuts and context menu integration further simplify the interaction with browser tabs. For example, press Ctrl +F or Ctrl + C to open your tabs in Firefox or Chrome.

Tabz is a useful utility that aggregate tabs from Safari and Chrome in a simple list that you can filter and navigate quickly. If you use multiple browsers with a specific purpose, say Chrome for work and Safari for personal use, then this add-on can save time and mental energy. The add-on merge tabs from the same domain, even if the web pages are open in different browsers.

The add-on goes one step ahead to help you focus on the work. To do this, add a domain ( More > Allowed During Focus ) to the list and click Start Focus Session . If you try to open a website not included in the list, it will automatically close during the focus period. Go to Preferences to include more browsers like Brave, Microsoft Edge, and Safari Technology Preview.

OneTab for Safari is a simple extension that converts your open tabs into a single bookmark tab. By doing this, it achieves three goals: reduce tab overload, memory usage, and gives you ability to share links for reference/with other users.

You can drag-and-drop tabs in your OneTab list to reorder them, or set a name to the tab group to further categorize them. If you want to know more, here’s our complete guide on managing multiple tabs in your browser with OneTab .

5. Tabby the Copycat

Tabby is an open-source extension that gives you titled, readable links for all open tabs to your clipboard with one click. If you’re in a hurry to preserve a big research session for email or notes, then this add-on can come useful.

Ratings and Reviews

After paying $9.99 to be able to apply changes, it does nothing. Scam.

Grabbed wrong (empty) file to start

Darn! First opening required I ID my bookmarks file. That’s in the library, requiring an “option-click” to get there. The BMM directed/restricted my route and somehow it suddenly gave me a screen with invisible/no bookmarks and was ready for me to start finding duplicates, sort or whatever and gave me “0” duplicates, obviously, etc. NOW I CAN”T SOMEHOW START OVER AND SELECT MY ACTUAL “IN THE LIBRARY” BOOKMARKS FILE> What do I do now? Please!?!

Developer Response ,

I'm sorry for that. The current version has a bug that we will submit a new version to fix it. Or you can contact with our support team ([email protected]), we will provide a website version of the product to help you to fix it.

Has Potential

This app doesn't do much as of now but if it could be very helful if it allowed me to move bookmarks between folders and manage the reading list in the same way. Apple has neglected this for years. IT odes allow me to delete the whole reading list, which is a plus.

How to Manage Bookmarks on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

If you're a Safari user, you've likely found yourself saving bookmarks to websites you frequently visit. These bookmarks can help to save time, allowing you to easily navigate to your favorite websites with just a click of a button. However, as the number of bookmarks grows, it can become difficult to manage and organize them effectively. In this article, we'll explore the ins and outs of bookmark management on Safari, including understanding bookmarks, adding and organizing them, and syncing bookmarks across devices.

Understanding Bookmarks in Safari

What are bookmarks.

At its core, a bookmark is a saved link to a webpage. Bookmarks typically live in the Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, or in one of your bookmark folders. When you click on a bookmark, Safari automatically takes you to that webpage, saving you time and effort compared to typing out the website address manually.

Bookmarks are a great way to keep track of your favorite websites and pages that you visit frequently. Whether it's a news site, a blog, or a social media platform, bookmarks can help you stay organized and easily access the content you want.

Importance of Organizing Bookmarks

It's easy to accumulate hundreds of bookmarks over time, making it difficult to find what you're looking for quickly. Organizing bookmarks into folders can help to alleviate this issue, allowing you to group similar bookmarks together. This makes it easier to navigate and makes it less likely that you'll accidentally click on the wrong bookmark.

When organizing your bookmarks, it's important to think about how you use the internet. Do you frequently visit news sites or social media platforms? Do you have a lot of bookmarks related to your work or hobbies? By creating folders based on these categories, you can quickly find the bookmarks you need without having to sift through a long list of links.

Another great way to organize your bookmarks is to use tags. Tags are keywords that you assign to your bookmarks, making it easy to search for them later. For example, if you have a bookmark for a recipe website, you could tag it with keywords like "recipes," "cooking," or "food."

Overall, organizing your bookmarks can save you time and frustration in the long run. By taking a few minutes to create folders and tags, you can easily access the content you want and keep your bookmarks tidy and manageable.

Adding Bookmarks in Safari

Safari is a popular web browser used by many people around the world. One of its most useful features is the ability to save bookmarks, which allow you to quickly access your favorite websites without having to remember their URLs. In this article, we'll show you how to add bookmarks in Safari and how to create bookmark folders to keep them organized.

Bookmarking a Webpage

Bookmarking a webpage is incredibly straightforward. When you find a webpage you'd like to save as a bookmark, simply follow these steps:

Click on the Bookmarks icon in Safari's Toolbar.

Select "Add Bookmark."

Choose the location of the bookmark, add a name, and select a folder for it to live in.

It's that easy! Once you've saved a bookmark, you can access it at any time by clicking on the Bookmarks icon and selecting the bookmark you want to open.

Creating Bookmark Folders

If you have a lot of bookmarks, it can be helpful to create folders to keep them organized. Here's how to create a new bookmark folder in the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu:

Right-click on the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu.

Select "New Folder."

Name your new folder something descriptive to help you remember what's inside it.

Once you have a new folder, you can drag and drop bookmarks into it to start organizing. For example, you might create a folder called "News" and add bookmarks to all of your favorite news websites. Or you might create a folder called "Recipes" and add bookmarks to all of the cooking websites you love.

By organizing your bookmarks into folders, you can quickly find the websites you need and keep your Safari experience clutter-free.

Organizing and Managing Bookmarks

Accessing the bookmarks manager.

Safari's Bookmarks Manager allows you to easily view and manage your bookmarks in a central location. To access the Bookmarks Manager, click on the Bookmarks icon in Safari's Toolbar and select "Edit Bookmarks." From here, you can view all of your bookmarks and folders, as well as edit and rearrange them.

Editing and Rearranging Bookmarks

The Bookmarks Manager allows you to edit your bookmarks' names, URLs, and folders. You can also rearrange bookmarks by dragging and dropping them into a new location. This can be useful if you'd like to change the order of your bookmarks based on frequency of use or other factors.

Moving Bookmarks to Folders

If you already have a set of bookmarks that are unorganized or in a single folder, you can move them into new or existing folders to help keep things organized. Simply select the bookmarks you'd like to move and drag them into the desired folder.

Deleting Bookmarks

If you come across a bookmark that is no longer necessary, you can delete it easily. Simply select the bookmark and press the Delete key on your keyboard, or right-click and select "Delete."

Importing and Exporting Bookmarks

Importing bookmarks from other browsers.

If you're switching to Safari from another browser such as Chrome or Firefox, it's easy to import your bookmarks. Simply click on File in the Menu Bar, select "Import From," and choose the browser you'd like to import from. Safari will take care of the rest.

Exporting Bookmarks for Backup or Migration

If you'd like to backup or move your bookmarks to another device, you can easily export them into an HTML file. To do this, click on File in the Menu Bar, select "Export Bookmarks," and choose the location you'd like to save the file to. You can then import this file into another browser or device.

Syncing Bookmarks Across Devices

Setting up icloud sync for bookmarks.

If you use multiple Apple devices such as an iPhone or iPad, you can sync your bookmarks across devices using iCloud. To enable this, open System Preferences on your Mac, select "iCloud," and make sure the "Safari" box is checked. On your iOS devices, open the Settings app, select your iCloud account, and make sure "Safari" is turned on. Your bookmarks will then be synced automatically.

Troubleshooting Sync Issues

If you're experiencing issues with syncing bookmarks across devices, make sure you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all devices. Also, ensure that Safari is turned on in iCloud settings for both your Mac and iOS devices. Additionally, check that you have a strong internet connection and that your devices have enough storage space available.

Managing bookmarks is an essential part of having an organized browsing experience, and Safari provides numerous tools to help make the process simpler. Whether you're adding, organizing, or syncing bookmarks across devices, Safari's user-friendly interface makes it easy to stay on top of your bookmark game. With this knowledge, you'll be able to keep your bookmarks organized, and you'll never have to waste time searching for a website again.

Let's set you up !

5 Bookmark Managers I Use

Posted by Bakari Chavanu | Jun 5, 2020 | iOS , Other Applications | 10 |

When it comes online content, I’m sort of a digital hoarder. I bookmark and save a lot of articles and PDFs to review later for various purposes.

Though I wish there were an all-in-one solution for my bookmarking needs, I can’t get by with one solution. I don’t like saving all my online content into one application, because that tends to clutter the application, and it makes harder to find what I’ve saved.

My most frequently accessed websites and pages reside in Safari Bookmarks, which is pretty much a given. But I use other applications to better categorize, annotate, and manage bookmarked content that I don’t access on a regular basis.

Here are the five bookmark managers I use, and why and how I use them.

Safari Reader List

First off there’s the Safari Reader List. Because Safari is cross platformed on all my devices, there’s no problem accessing these saved pages. I typically send pages to the Reader when I want to view them later on my iPad, where I do the bulk of my long-form reading and browsing.

Also what’s great about the Reader is that I can use a BetterTouchTool Three-finger Swipe Left to send the current URL to the Reader. This works perfectly because my hand is always my Trackpad when I’m browsing webpages. By using a BTT finger gesture I don’t have to move my hand back to the keyboard just to save a webpage, nor do I use to drag my cursor to designated menu item to save a page to the Reader.

If you’re not familiar with BetterTouchTool, check out my review here . And here’s an article for similar BTT actions for navigating Safari.

I use Feedly for accessing all my RSS feeds, and for saving articles that I might review later. Though I know there are other RSS feed and bookmark managers out there, I like the design and ease of use of Feedly, and I like that there’s no advertising for a premium account.

I mostly review my feeds in Feedly on my iPad and iPhone, and I have a long list of Feedly boards (folders) that I use for bookmarking selected articles from my feeds.

Feedly includes integration with Evernote, OneNote, Pocket, Dropbox, and you can share out articles to social network sites like Twitter and Hootsuite. There’s also IFTTT and Buffer support.

Feedly includes a built-in highlighter, but because the full version of many articles don’t fully open in Feedly, it means that the Feedly highlighter can’t always be used. Plus, Feedly doesn’t provide a way to organize annotated articles, as can be done in two annotation applications, LINER and ReaderView, which I review later in this article.

There’s also an advanced navigation feature called Leo, which is an AI feature that examines what topics you review the most and then uses that information to better present your feed content. Leo requires a Pro+ business plan, so I haven’t tried it yet to see how good it is.

What I don’t like about Feedly is the hefty annual subscription price for an application and service that could use a few more automation features. For example, Feedly doesn’t provide a feature for automatically saving articles based on keywords to specified boards. You have to that manually save articles to your boards, which I think is a serious waste of time.

Feedly could at least suggest a boards to save an article to based on the article’s keywords; or even better, based on rules I set up for saving articles to specified boards. I think Pocket has a feature like this. I have few dozen boards, so when I need to save an article to one of them, I have to scroll down and locate the folder and then tap the save button. As you can see in short video demo below, I’ve configured the titles of some of my most used boards so that they appear above the boards I access less regularly.

I’m not sure how difficult it is to create such an automation, but it sure would make the annual $65 fee worth it. (Note: the basic subscription price has gone up to $72/year, but I’m grandfathered in at $65.)

Also, they really need to invest some time in recreating a Safari extension. I understand that Apple has made it more difficult to develop web browser extensions, but unless I want to use Chrome and Firefox, there’s no way to bookmark articles to Feedly from within Safari without navigating to my Feedly account and manually saving article there. That involves way too many steps.

Anywoo, I still like Feedly for helping me keep and manage my RSS feeds.

By the way, if you’re a Feedly user, you can subscribe to the MacAutomationTips RSS feed and get no tifications when new articles are posted (I know…I know, I don’t publish weekly, but hey…at least I don’t bug you a lot with daily content.)

Price : Free, Pro: $72/year, Pro+: $99/yr, Business: $216/yr .

Raindrop.io

Next to the Safari Reader, Raindrop is my favorite bookmark manager. Raindrop is well designed and visually oriented, which makes it easier to browse saved content.

There’s a free and paid version of Raindrop, but after using the free version for a couple of years, I felt that I needed to support the developer because the application doesn’t push ads onto its users.

I started off using Raindrop for just blogging related content, but since it allows for creating separate collections, folders, and sub-folders, I now use it for other content topics. Raindrop makes it easy to fold parts of the sidebar hierarchy to reduce clutter when bookmarking, searching, or saving articles.

Apple has made it really difficult for developers to create extensions for Safari, so I appreciate Raindrop maintaining that tool.

Price : Free, $3/month

Alfred Workflow

One of my Twitter contacts and MAT subscribers hipped me to an Alfred workflow for Raindrop that allows for searching my Raindrop library, as well as bookmarking content via Alfred.

The code and building blocks of the workflow (see the second image above) are mind blowing. I wish had the time and skills to create such complicated workflows in Alfred. Thanks to the developer, Andreas Westerlind, for making it available for download.

Bookmark OS

I also use the web-based app, Bookmark OS for saving bookmarks that are not as important to me, but I want a place to access the content when needed.

Bookmark OS is not well designed, but it allows you to use a bookmarklet to quickly save an article to your account. And similar to Raindrop, you can view your saved webpages into thumbnail view.

Price : Free, $12/year

Liner and ReaderView

I’ve always found it helpful, to highlight and even annotate some articles as I write, especially if I think I will later review those articles for any particular purposes.

There are several solutions for highlighting and annotating online content, but I’ve mostly been using LINER Highter and ReaderView .

ReaderView ($2.99 in the App Store) is an iOS only application that allows you to highlight nearly any online article on the Internet. You basically open the article in ReaderView using its iOS share extension. It opens in read-only view, and you can then use four different color highlighters and a notes feature.

Whats nice about ReaderView is that you can simply drag your finger across a passage text, and it will automatically highlight it. You don’t have to drag and then tap again to make the highlight as you have to do in LINER. You can tap the highlighted text to change it color or to add a note.

ReaderView saves all your highlighted articles to your account, where you manage them into folders. ReaderView is a simple to use highlighter, but it’s limited to iOS devices only. The big drawback to ReaderView is that there’s no online Mac or web browser version for the app, as there is for LINER.

LINER Highlighter

LINER does basically the same thing as ReaderView, but it provides web browser client and few more color options. I also particularly like how its displays bookmarked articles with a thumbnail of the feature image. You can also view your LINER bookmarked articles and highlights in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox web browsers. LINER also has a Safari web extension for highlighting and bookmarking articles on your Mac.

A subscription to LINER though is a whopping $119.88 per year. However, they do offer a 60-70% discount for the first year. But after that first year, the cost reverts to the higher gargantuan price.

I’ve yet to sign up for the pro version of LINER, though they constantly send and post discounts. I’ve started using it quite frequently, which means that I often encounter the free limitations which make me want to pony up the subscription fee.

I guess I could get by with using ReaderView, but LINER is the app I prefer.

Price : ReaderView, $2.99 iOS ; LINER, $119.88/year

Other Options

I’ve tried other bookmark options, including Pocket, Instapaper, Evernote, Notions and Diigo, but for different reasons they don’t jive with my workflow.

By the way, a related bookmarking Mac application you might be interested in is History Hound, which I reviewed here .

Great article with lots of application choices. I use Safari Reader as my first choice for the one I use frequently and Pocket for the bookmarks I want to view/access later. I will look into Raindrop – it sounds interesting.

Very much agree, that Pocket is a great choice. I need to reconsider it for my particular needs. Thanks for your feedback.

Great list, Bakari! Thanks! I would add to it https://start.me . I’m using it for the last half year and it is really amazing. It allows me to manage the bookmarks and widgets that I need to start my day. Stay safe!

Terry, thanks for sharing this with me. I came across and have started testing similar site called Cling.com. I will definitely check out Start.me.

Hey Terry, thanks for bringing my attention to Start.me. I’ve decided to switch over to it instead of using Cling. Start is not only a lot less costly, it’s has a better user interface. Maybe I’ll write an article about Start.

Are there no password managers that can manage bookmarks across ALL the browsers I might wish to use?

I use Opera, Tor Browser, Safari, Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, and Brave Browser. I also would like to buy the product instead of having a subscription. Not into that model.

Bill, I use 1Password for my password manager, but I wouldn’t rely on it for managing bookmarks. Web browsers can manage bookmarks, but there are thousands of bookmark that I don’t want cluttering up my web browser management system. That’s why I try to use the above applications. Let me know if I’m answering your question.

would recommend anybox – wonderful modern app.

Agree. I’ve been using Anybox for the last few months. I need to write a review.

This topic is right on point for me. I run a bookmark manager and start page called https://fullsort.com . Hopefully it’s OK to post here since this is a post that is relevant. Any feedback on how to improve would be greatly appreciated.

How to manage bookmarks in Safari on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Bookmarking your favorite websites in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and/or Mac is handy for accessing the pages you need with a tap. But bookmarks can also quickly get out of control.

Safari, Apple's native web browser, is a powerful tool for navigating the vast landscape of the internet. As you explore the web, you may come across numerous websites, articles, and resources that pique your interest and are worth revisiting. To keep track of these valuable online destinations, Safari offers a convenient feature known as bookmarks. These bookmarks serve as virtual placeholders, allowing you to easily revisit your favorite websites with just a click.

However, as your list of bookmarks grows, it can become challenging to manage and locate specific sites efficiently. This is where the importance of organizing and sorting bookmarks comes into play. By implementing effective bookmark management strategies, you can streamline your browsing experience and maximize the utility of Safari's bookmarking capabilities.

In this article, we will delve into the various methods for sorting and organizing bookmarks in Safari. Whether you're a casual internet user or a seasoned web surfer, mastering these techniques will empower you to maintain a well-organized collection of bookmarks, tailored to your browsing habits and preferences. From utilizing Safari's built-in bookmark manager to exploring third-party bookmark management tools, we will explore a range of options to help you take control of your Safari bookmarks.

So, if you've ever found yourself struggling to locate a specific bookmark amidst a cluttered list or wished for a more efficient way to manage your favorite websites, you're in the right place. By the end of this article, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to transform your Safari bookmarks into a well-organized and easily accessible resource, enhancing your overall browsing experience. Let's embark on this journey to unlock the full potential of Safari's bookmarking capabilities.

Using Safari's Built-in Bookmark Manager

Safari's built-in bookmark manager is a versatile tool that empowers users to efficiently organize and manage their collection of bookmarks directly within the browser . This feature provides a user-friendly interface, seamlessly integrated into Safari's intuitive design, making it easily accessible for users of all levels of expertise.

To access Safari's bookmark manager, simply navigate to the "Bookmarks" menu at the top of the Safari window and select "Show Bookmarks." This action will reveal the bookmark manager, presenting a comprehensive view of your saved bookmarks and folders. From this central hub, you can effortlessly add new bookmarks, edit existing ones, and create folders to categorize your bookmarks based on specific themes or topics.

One of the key functionalities of Safari's bookmark manager is the ability to edit and organize bookmarks with ease. By right-clicking on a bookmark, you can quickly rename it, change its URL, or move it to a different folder. This level of flexibility allows you to tailor your bookmarks to your evolving browsing habits, ensuring that your collection remains relevant and well-structured.

Furthermore, Safari's bookmark manager enables users to create folders, providing a systematic approach to categorizing bookmarks. Whether you want to group bookmarks by topic, project, or any other criteria, creating folders within the bookmark manager allows for seamless organization and easy access to specific sets of bookmarks.

In addition to manual organization, Safari's bookmark manager also offers the option to sort bookmarks alphabetically, facilitating quick navigation and retrieval of specific websites. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with extensive bookmark collections, as it eliminates the need to manually arrange bookmarks in alphabetical order.

Overall, Safari's built-in bookmark manager serves as a robust tool for effectively managing and organizing bookmarks within the browser. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with a range of functionalities such as editing, folder creation, and alphabetical sorting, empowers users to maintain a well-structured and easily accessible collection of bookmarks tailored to their browsing preferences.

By leveraging Safari's built-in bookmark manager, users can take full control of their bookmarking experience, ensuring that their favorite websites and resources are just a click away, enhancing their overall browsing efficiency and enjoyment.

Organizing Bookmarks into Folders

Organizing bookmarks into folders is a fundamental strategy for maintaining a well-structured and easily navigable collection of saved websites within Safari. By creating folders, users can categorize their bookmarks based on specific themes, topics, or projects, thereby streamlining the process of locating and accessing relevant websites.

To create a new folder within Safari's bookmark manager, simply navigate to the "Bookmarks" menu at the top of the Safari window and select "Add Bookmark Folder." This action prompts the creation of a new folder, allowing you to assign a name that reflects the category or theme of the bookmarks it will contain. Whether it's "Travel Destinations," "Favorite Recipes," or "Work Projects," the naming of folders should align with the content they will encompass, facilitating intuitive organization and retrieval of bookmarks.

Once a folder is created, users can effortlessly populate it with relevant bookmarks by dragging and dropping existing bookmarks into the newly created folder. This seamless process allows for the consolidation of related websites into designated folders, effectively reducing clutter and simplifying the overall bookmark management experience.

The flexibility of folder creation within Safari's bookmark manager empowers users to adapt their organizational structure to their evolving browsing habits and interests. As new topics or projects emerge, users can create additional folders to accommodate fresh sets of bookmarks, ensuring that their collection remains well-organized and tailored to their current needs.

Furthermore, the hierarchical nature of folder organization enables users to establish a multi-tiered structure, providing a deeper level of categorization and subcategorization. This approach is particularly beneficial for users with diverse interests or professional responsibilities, as it allows for a granular organization of bookmarks, enhancing the precision and efficiency of bookmark retrieval.

By organizing bookmarks into folders, users can transform their bookmark collection into a personalized and easily navigable resource, reflecting their unique browsing preferences and priorities. This systematic approach not only simplifies the process of bookmark management but also enhances the overall browsing experience, empowering users to effortlessly access their favorite websites and resources with precision and ease.

In essence, the strategic organization of bookmarks into folders within Safari's bookmark manager serves as a cornerstone of effective bookmark management, enabling users to maintain a well-structured and personalized collection that aligns with their browsing habits and interests.

Sorting Bookmarks Alphabetically

Sorting bookmarks alphabetically is a valuable technique that enhances the accessibility and organization of your bookmark collection within Safari. By arranging bookmarks in alphabetical order, users can streamline the process of locating specific websites and resources, eliminating the need to manually search through an unsorted list of bookmarks. This systematic approach not only simplifies bookmark management but also optimizes the overall browsing experience, ensuring that favorite websites are readily accessible with minimal effort.

In Safari, sorting bookmarks alphabetically can be easily accomplished through the built-in bookmark manager. Upon accessing the bookmark manager, users can navigate to the desired folder or the main list of bookmarks and initiate the alphabetical sorting process. This action rearranges the bookmarks in ascending alphabetical order based on their titles, providing a clear and structured layout that facilitates quick navigation and retrieval.

The benefits of sorting bookmarks alphabetically extend beyond mere convenience. This method empowers users to maintain a well-organized and easily navigable collection, regardless of the size of their bookmark repository. Whether the bookmark list is extensive or relatively modest, alphabetical sorting ensures that every website is systematically positioned within the collection, enabling users to locate specific bookmarks with precision and efficiency.

Furthermore, the alphabetical arrangement of bookmarks promotes visual clarity, allowing users to scan through their bookmark list with ease. This visual organization reduces the cognitive load associated with searching for specific websites, as users can quickly identify the desired bookmark based on its alphabetical position. Whether it's a frequently visited website or a resource accessed sporadically, the ability to swiftly pinpoint bookmarks contributes to a seamless and enjoyable browsing experience.

In essence, sorting bookmarks alphabetically within Safari's bookmark manager is a simple yet impactful strategy for enhancing the organization and accessibility of your bookmark collection. By leveraging this method, users can transform their bookmarks into a well-structured resource, tailored to their browsing preferences and priorities. Whether for personal, professional, or academic use, the ability to effortlessly locate and access favorite websites through alphabetical sorting elevates the overall efficiency and satisfaction of the browsing experience.

Using Third-Party Bookmark Management Tools

In addition to Safari's built-in bookmark management features, users have the option to explore third-party bookmark management tools that offer advanced functionalities and customization options. These external tools provide an alternative approach to organizing and accessing bookmarks, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of users seeking enhanced bookmark management capabilities.

One prominent example of a third-party bookmark management tool is "Pocket." This versatile platform allows users to save articles, webpages, and other online content for later access across various devices. With Pocket, users can curate a personalized reading list, categorize saved content with tags, and enjoy offline access to saved articles, making it a valuable resource for individuals seeking a comprehensive bookmark management solution.

Another popular third-party bookmark management tool is "Raindrop.io," which offers a robust and visually appealing interface for organizing bookmarks. Users can create collections of bookmarks, collaborate with others on curated lists, and leverage powerful search and filtering options to swiftly locate saved websites. The ability to customize the appearance of bookmarks and access them from any device makes Raindrop.io a compelling choice for users seeking a modern and feature-rich bookmark management solution.

For users who prioritize seamless integration with their existing workflows, "Evernote" serves as a versatile third-party tool for bookmark management. Beyond its renowned note-taking capabilities, Evernote allows users to save web clippings, annotate saved content, and organize bookmarks within a structured note-taking framework. This integration of bookmark management with note-taking functionality offers a holistic approach to capturing, organizing, and accessing online resources within a unified platform.

Furthermore, "Diigo" stands out as a comprehensive bookmark management tool that emphasizes collaborative research and knowledge sharing. With Diigo, users can highlight and annotate webpages, create searchable libraries of bookmarks, and engage in group discussions around saved content. This collaborative dimension makes Diigo an ideal choice for users seeking to leverage bookmarks for research, academic pursuits, or professional knowledge management.

By exploring third-party bookmark management tools such as Pocket, Raindrop.io, Evernote, and Diigo, users can expand their bookmark management capabilities beyond the confines of Safari's native features. These external tools offer diverse functionalities, customization options, and cross-platform accessibility, empowering users to curate, organize, and access their bookmark collections in alignment with their unique preferences and usage scenarios.

In summary, the availability of third-party bookmark management tools presents users with a wealth of options to elevate their bookmark organization and access experience. Whether prioritizing visual organization, collaborative features, cross-device synchronization, or integration with broader productivity workflows, these external tools offer a rich tapestry of functionalities to cater to the diverse needs of modern internet users.

In conclusion, the effective organization and management of bookmarks within Safari are pivotal in enhancing the overall browsing experience. By leveraging Safari's built-in bookmark manager, users can seamlessly arrange their favorite websites, create folders for systematic categorization, and employ alphabetical sorting to streamline bookmark retrieval. These native features empower users to maintain a well-structured and easily accessible collection of bookmarks tailored to their unique browsing habits and interests.

Furthermore, the strategic organization of bookmarks into folders within Safari's bookmark manager serves as a cornerstone of effective bookmark management, enabling users to maintain a well-structured and personalized collection that aligns with their browsing habits and interests. This systematic approach not only simplifies the process of bookmark management but also enhances the overall browsing experience, empowering users to effortlessly access their favorite websites and resources with precision and ease.

Moreover, the availability of third-party bookmark management tools such as Pocket, Raindrop.io, Evernote, and Diigo offers users a diverse array of options to expand their bookmark management capabilities. These external tools provide advanced functionalities, customization options, and cross-platform accessibility, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of modern internet users.

In essence, the ability to effectively organize and manage bookmarks within Safari, coupled with the option to explore third-party bookmark management tools, equips users with the tools and techniques to transform their bookmark collections into personalized, well-structured resources.

How to Update, Rename and Customize Safari Bookmarks?

I’ve been using Safari on my Mac system and am wondering what I can do to manage and modify my bookmarks? I don’t want to go into the Bookmark Manager if I can help it; it’s awful!

For a feature that’s been essential to “surfing” the Web since it first showed up, it’s surprising how little love bookmarks and favorites have received through the many years of Web browser evolution. Third party sites have grown out of the need for better bookmark services, like StumbleUpon and Digg , along with Pinterest , but still the basic tools for managing Favorites and bookmarks are relatively crude and uninspiring. At least they sync across platforms now, however, so adding a bookmark on one computer causes it to also show up on other devices you use, like your iPhone or iPad.

And yet, it turns out that Safari has some useful tools, though they are buried in a too subtle interface and are likely to never be used by Mac Web surfers. Surprising for a company that prides itself on having simple and elegant interfaces and a great user experience “for the rest of us”. So let’s have a closer look…

WORKING WITH BOOKMARKS IN SAFARI

First off, let’s go to a typical Web page. This is the Denver Post in the latest version of Safari on MacOS 11:

Key to notice is that I have what Safari calls the  Favorites Bar shown; text only bookmarks just below the address bar and above the content of this particular page. If you aren’t seeing that on your Safari, use the menu at the top of the screen to choose View > Show Favorites Bar and it’ll appear.

Let’s look a bit closer at this bar…

Your bookmarks will invariably be different to mine but what you should notice here is that you can have  folders that contain sets of bookmarks (as “Teaching” and “Blogs” both illustrate with the tiny “v” adjacent) and you can use emoji if you want to take up even less space on the Favorites Bar. Heck, the ❤️ favorite is a folder, so you can even combine things!

But there’s one more item on the Favorites bar: The tiny grid of twelve dots. Click on it and your screen changes to your “Start Page” view:

All of those tiny text shortcuts now show up as buttons in the Favorites section, but there are also thumbnails for sites you visit frequently and, if you scroll down, quite a bit more of interest.

Again, though, there’s a secret. Click on the three bars icon on the lower right and you’ll find you can customize your Start Page to include what you prefer and omit what you don’t much care about:

Try unchecking items to see how that affects the layout on the page: I generally hide the Reading List, for example, but like the Favorites and Privacy Report. You can even set this window as the view for new tabs you open in Preferences, just set “New Tabs Open With” in Preferences > General and select “Start Page”.

Even more mind-boggling for people used to the austere white interface of Mac software, the graphics along the bottom are actually background wallpapers. You can’t apply themes to Safari like you can with just about every other Web browser in existence, but if you check the box adjacent to “Background Image” you can drop a wallpaper onto your Start Page in Safari! I’ll tap on the reddish butterfly graphic and instantly this window becomes far more visually interesting:

Astonishing, right? You can choose from a half-dozen or so options, or you can upload your own wallpaper by clicking on the “+” tile instead. Nice.

MANAGING AND UPDATING BOOKMARKS IN SAFARI

But what about those bookmarks? Let’s head back to that by adding a new bookmark. Easily done from the top menu with Bookmarks > Add Bookmark :

You can get to the Bookmarks Manager by choosing “Edit Bookmarks” but you’ve made it clear you’re not a fan of that simplistic view. No worries! Instead, there are plenty of things you can do with a bookmark that’s already on your Favorites bar. One easy thing: Click and drag to reorder them as you prefer.

But you can also Control-click on a Favorite bookmark to pop up a menu of options too:

There are shortcuts for many of these things, but knowing how to get to this menu is darn helpful because then you don’t have to remember all those obscure, not particularly friendly key sequences. Let’s start with renaming one of my bookmarks. That’s almost too subtle, the word just changes color and gets a tiny border:

I can simply type a new name like “Denver Post” to make this a bit less cryptic. Easy.

If you have a favorite site where you jump to it and then 100% of the time go to a subpage, why not update the associated URL so that it starts at that point instead? That’s easily accomplished by moving to the page in question, grabbing its address, then using “ Edit Address… ” from the Favorites mini-menu for that bookmark.

Note: You can edit and update favorites without having to go to the page or even be on the page in question. Try it!

Edit address is similarly minimal:

That’s it. Easy, really, once you know about that context menu. Now go forth and clean up that Favorites bar on your own copy of Safari and revel in the improvement to your overall Web experience!

Pro Tip: I’ve been writing about Apple’s operating system since the original release of MacOS, and been using Apple products since the Apple II. Suffice to say, I have an extensive MacOS help library I invite you to check out while you’re visiting! Thanks!

10 Best Bookmark Managers to Save and Organize Links

Best Bookmark Managers in 2020

1. raindrop.io.

When it comes to organization, Raindrop.io supports all the usual features. You can create collections which are basically folders and nested collections . You can also add tags if you don’t want to use folders or a combination of both. Another good feature of Raindrop.io is that it automatically places duplicate links into a collection so you can clean out bookmarks that are not needed. It does the same for the broken links too.

Platforms Supported: Web App for Desktop (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera), Native Mac App, iOS, and Android.

2. Bookmark Ninja

My favorite feature of Bookmark Ninja is its ability to organize bookmarks. Not only you can create different folders (called tabs) for your bookmarks but each folder can also contain lists (called category groups). Furthermore, you can attach tags to bookmarks. You can easily drag and drop bookmarks to rearrange their order or from one list to another.

Price: Free 30-day trial, $1.99/month (billed annually)

3. Save to Pocket

Key features:  Save Bookmarks through Web browser extension, Mobile apps, Email, desktop application, access and manage bookmarks through web-based interface and more.

4. Evernote / Notion / One Note

Visit: Evernote (Free , $7.99/month), Notion ( Free , $4/month), OneNote ( Free )

5. Pinboard

Platforms Supported: Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge; Web; Android (PinDroid), iOS (Pushpin), macOS (Spillo), Windows (Pinboard.in)

Diigo also allows you to add links to your profile by Emailing them to a user-specific Email address. Exporting and Importing of Bookmarks is fairly easy with Diigo. It also offers Web browser extensions for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.   On your web interface at Diigo, you can filter all your bookmarks on the basis of the tags assigned to them. It also acts as a social bookmarking network, that lets you discover new content shared by other people and join relevant groups and share links with each other.

7. Google Bookmarks

Google Bookmarks is a standalone cloud-based bookmark manager tool developed by Google in 2005. This tool is in no way similar to the default bookmark manager that you are accustomed to, in browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Google Bookmarks comes as a browser extension for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. What this handy tool does is it adds a webpage to your Google Bookmark account, stored on a cloud server. The bookmarklet allows you to easily add webpages with added labels and notes to them and save it right to your Google Bookmarks cloud account.

Price: Free

8. Dewey Bookmarks

Key Features:  Powerful Bookmarks Search engine, Beautifully laid out Bookmarks, Edit, View or Delete Bookmarks.

Apple’s iCloud bookmark is a tool that lets its users sync smoothly between all of their Apple devices including iPhone, iPad and Mac. It also allows Apple users to sync their saved bookmarks seamlessly between all of the registered devices. While iCloud is primarily used to Sync and backup Music, videos and documents, it also includes support for actively syncing all of your bookmarks over different devices. iCloud Bookmarks now allows you to integrate your bookmarks on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer easily with bookmarks from your Safari Browser on different Apple devices.

Toby is a relatively new bookmark manager in the market, but it has quickly gained a lot of popularity because it offers a free tier and some of the premium features without any charge. You can also use Toby locally to bookmark and organize your links, but if you choose to create an account then you can activate sync and can access the bookmarks on other devices as well. Apart from this, you can create a collection of bookmarks of all the open tabs by simply dragging them into the folder. No need to jump through hoops to bookmark all the tabs and organize them in a specific folder.

Price: Free, Request for Pricing

Does anyone use Bookmarker.me? I found this tool a few months ago, it does not have a lot of features but I love the minimalist design.

Is someone using ridplace site manager. it’s a chrome extension. very usefull according to me!

On my side, I use ridplace.com to keep, tags and publish my bookmarks. The best site manager chrome extension is usefull to bookmark a website.

Try using linkper(dot)cc its very simple and easy to use. You can also find other links that you might be interested in. You can also share to other platforms such as Whatsapp, facebook. etc.

I dislike online servers storing my data. Why not clearly specify those working online?

You did not mention carrylinks.com . it is everything you need for bookmarks. They also provide QR and shortening links.

I have tried Diigo, Pocket but personally, my favorite one is SeoWebChecker.

I have tried Pinboard, Raindrop and Bookmark Ninja, but personally my favorite one is Pinalist.

Wheres LinkManPro in the List thats what i use instead of inbuilt one transfer all BM from chrome to Linkman and Export them Sort them.

The company seems to have closed down

thanks for sharing, think it’s website help for ranking increase.

Does anyone use onekeep.com? I am using it. It’s UI very clean, like a file explorer, fit my needs. Free account may add 500 bookmarks, enough for me by now. I will probably subscribe advanced account in future

I’ve been using Knowies for a while and it’s pretty nice. It needs some more core features but it almost fits all of my needs for now.

All of these do different things, but NONE does the following. Organizing bookmarks. Making new collections yes, but not actually using the one I already have and putting them into better order. And I don’t want to subscribe, so that I depend on some online service, not to mention the privacy issues. Plug to be charged for this, when I don’t want to share bookmarks to complete strangers. Cloud policy is going crazy, pushing to share every single piece of privacy. And none of these are organizers, they are all working differently then the bookmarks one has already. Once the company gets bought, you are out of bookmarks and out of using the software. All I need is just better tool to organize. Firefox had many great supporting tools for this, but has lost them. For example Export folder. It just exports folder of your present bookmarks. All the browsers are really bad at this and it’s shame. Syncing is fine, and it seems Brave does the good job at this.

Agree 100% with you.

Raidrop.io is absolutely overrated. It’s good when all you have is 20 bookmarks with your favourite cake reciepes. But when you’re making some serious research work and have literally thousands of bookmarks categorised in hundreds of folders, raindrop will soon become a mess. Every view mode there suffers from acessibility syndrome – everything is oversimplified, huge and not very useful. I’ve got large 32″ WQHD screen and i can barely fit 30 cards there even with minimum scaling factor. Disabling the thumbnail images gets some more extra space but everything then becomes totally cluttered. Not even a simple separator feature. Nesting collections is available only in paid version and even that won’t change much.

Installed raindrop.io – First thing went to tidy up my bookmarks and it wont let me create nested folders, tells me I need to buy the pro version. Well, thats just not gonna happen.

Toby is not a bookmark manager, its a tab manager. When you bookmark a site it will save all open tabs to a collection. I use both Toby and Raindrop.io which proves they do different jobs.

booky.io should be on the list too! 🙂

It’s easily the best at managing tons of bookmarks, can be customized a lot and recently got a big update. And it’s free!

Booky.io looks nice, but you cannot nest categories. That make it a bad choice for managing tons of bookmarks.

Why is it so hard to find a decent Bookmark Manager with a sidebar interface… I want to do a shortcut, it open my sidebar and then I navigate with keys to get what I want (or search).

Because browser creators (aka Google) don’t want good bookmarks they want you to use the search. Sidebars are technically not supported anymore. Why? Security? Remember the 10 toolbars in a browser window?

Are there any bookmark managers with thumbnails like the old discontinued one for Chrome?

For more years than I can count I used ACQURL, It perfectly captured bookmarks with one click in a tabbed spreadsheet-like environment. Then the developer quit trying to keep up with changes in operating systems and browsers. The concept of design was so slick and easy to use. I have looked for so long to find a replacement and not succeeded yet.

Another one to look out for is Wakelet – completely free to use and as well as bookmarking your content, you can organise it into collections and share these with others. It’s really popular in the education sector but also across many other industries as well as for personal use. Great for things like saving recipes and at the moment, christmas lists!

How-To Geek

How to add and manage bookmarks on safari for iphone.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa.

iCloud will sync all the bookmarks you create in Safari on your Mac to your iPad or iPhone, and vice-versa. But bookmarks aren't quite as simple and obvious on the iPhone as they are on the Mac. Here's how to create and manage them on iOS.

Adding bookmarks on your iPhone is easy, but it's not immediately obvious. The first thing you're likely to do is fumble around in your existing bookmarks before you realize that isn't working. What you have to do if you want to add a bookmark is to tap the Share icon as shown below in red.

Once the Share menu opens, you'll be able to then add the current website to your bookmarks or Favorites. You also have the option to add a site to your reading list, in case you want to read it later, offline, or you can pin it to your Home Screen.

Once you know how to add bookmarks, you can rename them, add them to folders, or delete them.

To manage your Safari bookmarks on your iPhone or iPad, first tap the Bookmarks icon along the bottom row.

Now, in the bookmarks screen, tap the "Edit" button in the bottom-right corner.

Now the edit mode will appear. Next to each bookmark or folder there is a "-" symbol, which means you can tap it and delete stuff.

Tap the "New Folder" link, and you can create a new folder to stash new or current bookmarks. Give your new folder a catchy title and indicate where you want it to reside under the "Location" option.

When you tap "Location", your bookmarks structure will expand and you can tap where you want the new folder to go.

To edit any bookmark, you simply need to tap on one while in edit mode. The "Edit Bookmark" screen will open where you can then give any bookmark a new name, fix URL issues, and like new folders, place it in an appropriate location.

Finally, you may have noticed that while in edit mode, there are three gray bars that appear along the right edge of each bookmark or bookmark folder. These allow you to move stuff around, so if you want to reorder everything, just place your finger on these bars and drag it into the location you choose.

As you can see, adding, deleting, and editing bookmarks and bookmarks folders on Safari for iOS is pretty easy and once you know how to do it, we're sure you'll have your bookmarks named and arranged in exactly the order you see fit.

Customize Safari Toolbar, Favorites, Tab, and Status Bars

Personalize the Safari browser window to suit your style

• Bookmarks Are Called Favorites
• Hide or Show the Favorites Bar

Hide or Show the Tab Bar

Hide or show the status bar.

Like many applications, Safari lets you tweak its interface to suit your preferences. You can customize, hide, or show the toolbar, bookmarks bar, favorites bar, tab bar, and status bar. Configuring these Safari interface bars to suit the way you use the browser can save you time and effort.

The toolbar runs across the top of the Safari screen, where the address area is. Here's how to add and remove items to your liking.

From the View menu, select Customize Toolbar .

Select an item you want to add to the toolbar and drag it to the toolbar. Safari will automatically adjust the size of the address and search fields to make room for the new item(s). When you finish, choose Done .

Try adding iCloud Tabs to easily continue browsing sites right where you left off when using other Apple devices. Select Text Size to add the capability to change the size of text on a page quickly.

Alternatively, right-click in an open space in the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar .

You can adjust a couple of other things very quickly, too:

• Rearrange icons in the toolbar by clicking and dragging them to a new location.
• Delete an item from the toolbar by right-clicking it and selecting Remove Item from the pop-up menu.

If you get carried away with customizing the toolbar, and you're not happy with the result, it's easy to return to the default toolbar.

Click and drag the default toolbar set from the bottom of the window to the toolbar.

Click Done .

Safari Favorites Shortcuts

Apple changed the name of the bar from bookmarks to Favorites with the release of OS X Mavericks . No matter what you call the bar, it's a handy place to store links to favorite websites.

Hide or Show the Bookmarks or Favorites Bar 

If you don't use the Favorites bar or want to gain a little screen real estate, you can close the bar. Simply select View > Hide Favorites Bar ( or Hide Favorites Bar , depending on the version of Safari you are using).

If you change your mind and decide you miss the bookmarks bar, go to the View menu and select Show Bookmarks Bar or Show Favorites bar.

In OS X Yosemite and later: Web page titles no longer appear in the toolbar area of the Safari browser if you have the tab bar hidden. Displaying the Tab Bar allows you to see the current page title, even if you don't use tabs.

Like other browsers, Safari supports tabbed browsing , which lets you have multiple pages open without having multiple browser windows open.

If you open a webpage in a new tab, Safari will automatically show the tab bar. If you want the tab bar always to be visible, even if you only have a single web page open, select View > Show Tab Bar .

To hide the tab bar, select View > Hide Tab Bar .

If you have more than one page open in a tab, you'll need to close the tabs before you can hide the tab bar. Click or tap the Close button (the little "X") in a tab to close it.

The status bar displays at the bottom of the Safari window. If you let your mouse hover over a link on a web page, the status bar will show the URL for that link, so you can see where you're going before you click the link. In most cases, this isn't important, but sometimes it's nice to check a URL before you go to the page, especially if the link is sending you to a different website.

• To display the status bar, select View > Show Status Bar .
• To hide the status bar, select View > Hide Status Bar .

Experiment with the Safari toolbar, favorites, tab, and status bars to find what works best for you. Generally, you'll find that having all the bars visible is most helpful, but if you need to maximize your viewing area, closing one or all is always an option.

AWS IAM Identity Center now offers a streamlined AWS access portal and shortcut links

Posted On: Apr 11, 2024

Users of AWS IAM Identity Center can now take advantage of a streamlined AWS access portal and time-saving shortcut links to navigate directly to destinations in the AWS Management Console in accordance with their permissions. 

The enhanced AWS access portal offers improved usability and discoverability of applications, accounts, and permission sets. Shortcut links take an authenticated user to a desired AWS Management Console destination, such as an S3 bucket details page, in a specific account, and with a specific permission set already assigned to the user. They enable the user to land directly at the destination, without the need for page-to-page navigation. Users can save shortcut links as browser bookmarks or on a team wiki page, embed them in operational tickets, or share them with others.

The streamlined AWS access portal and the shortcut links are available in all AWS Regions where IAM Identity Center is available , except the China Regions.

IAM Identity Center helps you connect or create your workforce identities, and manage their access to multiple AWS applications and AWS accounts. IAM Identity Center is available to you at no additional cost. To learn more about IAM Identity Center, visit the product detail page . To get started with using the shortcut links, please refer to the user guide .
