Bookmark Maestro – Dedupe, URL & Link Cleaner

📌 Bookmark Maestro — Clean Up & Organize Your Chrome Bookmarks Drowning in years of messy bookmarks? Bookmark Maestro is the all-in-one Chrome bookmark manager extension that helps you clean up duplicate bookmarks, find broken/dead links, clear out empty folders, and strip UTM/tracking parameters from saved URLs — then organize, batch-edit, and export what's left, with a 30-day recycle bin behind every delete. It works directly on the Chrome bookmarks you already have, and everything stays 100% local: your bookmarks never leave your device. No migration into yet another app. No cloud upload. Just a faster, cleaner way to take control of the bookmarks you already have. ✨ Free Features • Free bookmark health check — see every duplicate, near-duplicate, empty folder and tracking-parameter URL in your library, and delete or clean them one by one, no account needed • Similar-link detection — surface near-duplicate URLs pointing to the same page, and remove the ones you pick • All-in-one bookmark manager — browse every bookmark in a clean folder tree or the All Bookmarks table that shows the full folder path • Understands Chrome's account bookmarks — signed in without sync, Chrome keeps two "Bookmarks Bar"s; here the on-this-device one is labelled everywhere, exports stay importable with a single toolbar folder, Insights shows how much is still only on this device, and the duplicate finder keeps the account's copy of a page saved on both sides and says so • Search everywhere — one smart search behind the Ctrl+K palette, the tables and the side panel, so every box agrees on what matches • Insights dashboard — health score, growth timeline, top domains and protocol breakdown, with exports to image, CSV and JSON • History — a 30-day recycle bin for every bookmark deleted in this browser, with one-click Put back (details below) • Native side panel — your whole bookmark library right inside Chrome's side panel, no extra tab needed • Drag-and-drop organizing — reorder and move bookmarks and folders effortlessly • Batch operations — select and move, delete, or open many bookmarks at once • Keyboard-first — shortcuts throughout, with a built-in cheat sheet • Dark & light themes ⭐ Pro — The Bookmark Doctor's one-click cleanup • Duplicate bookmark finder — remove every duplicate in one pass with Clean All; the cleaner picks which copy survives by a stated rule and shows you why • Broken link checker — scan for dead links and broken bookmarks with real HTTP checks; redirects and temporary errors are flagged separately, so you don't delete links that still work • Empty folder cleanup — clear every empty folder cluttering your bookmark bar in one click • Tracking-parameter cleanup — strip utm_ and other trackers from saved URLs in bulk, undo included • Bulk edit with regex — find-and-replace across many bookmarks with pattern matching and precision ⭐ Pro — Auto-sort • Keep folders sorted automatically — turn it on once and every folder is put back in order as bookmarks are added to it, renamed, or moved in, including the ones you save with Chrome's own star button and the ones that sync in from another device. Sort by title or URL, ascending or descending, folders at the top or the bottom. It is off until you switch it on, and your Bookmarks Bar's own top row is left alone unless you include it. 🗑️ History — the recycle bin Chrome doesn't have (free for everyone) • Every bookmark you delete in this browser — in Bookmark Maestro, in Chrome's own bookmark manager, by another extension, or by a deletion synced from another device — is kept for 30 days and can be put back where it was: same folder, same order, same position • Restore deleted bookmarks in one click: Put back rebuilds a whole deleted folder, and the row says exactly what came back • Clean All, Clean URLs, Batch Edit, Move, Sort and Import each end in a receipt with Undo — and the same Undo is still on the History page days later, not seconds • It says what it cannot do: it is not a backup (it lives in the same Chrome profile), it holds only deletions made after it was installed, a put-back bookmark is dated today, and edits made in Chrome itself are not recorded • 100% local: the trash lives in this browser's own storage and nowhere else — Forget drops one deletion, Forget all empties it, and a switch turns keeping off ⭐ Pro — Import, Export & Backup • Export to 5 formats — browser-importable HTML (favicons included), JSON, CSV, Markdown, or a plain URL list. Export Chrome bookmarks to JSON for scripts and automations, to CSV for spreadsheets, to Markdown for Obsidian or Notion notes, or to a plain list of URLs. • Selective export — export everything, just the current folder, or only the bookmarks you hand-pick. The granular way to export Chrome bookmarks that Chrome itself won't — ideal for backups and for moving your data anywhere with no lock-in. • Flexible import — bring bookmarks in from any HTML file, dropped into the exact folder you choose, with the original folder structure preserved. 💳 Pricing The diagnosis is always free — every scan, every count, the whole Insights dashboard — and so is fixing what it finds one by one. Pro unlocks the one-click cleanup and the data tools above: $1.99/month, $9.99/year, or $29.99 once for lifetime access, with a 14-day refund window. 🔒 Why Bookmark Maestro • 100% local & private — your bookmarks are processed on your device and never uploaded; even exported favicons come from Chrome's own local store, and only your account/subscription status ever touches a server • One tool instead of five — stop installing a separate extension for dedup, another for dead links, another for empty folders, another for batch edits. It's all here, in one polished app. • Works on your native bookmarks — no walled garden, no switching tools, no giving up the Chrome bookmarks you already trust • Featured on the Chrome Web Store 👤 Ideal For • Bookmark hoarders with hundreds or thousands of links to clean up • Rese…
