About Shelf - Smart Bookmark Dashboard
Shelf turns your Chrome bookmarks into a calm, searchable new-tab dashboard without uploading your data or rearranging your folders.
Find what you saved:
- Search titles, URLs, domains, and folder paths instantly.
- Browse bookmarks in grid or list view.
- Sort by newest, oldest, name, or domain.
- Open Shelf from every new tab or from the toolbar button.
See bookmarks differently:
- Smart collections group bookmarks by useful topics like Development, AI & ML, Video, Shopping, Finance, Design, Learning, and Docs.
- Frequently bookmarked domains get their own collection.
- Original Chrome folders stay intact and remain browsable from the sidebar.
Clean up safely:
- Find duplicate pages after common tracking parameters are removed.
- Keep the newest duplicate and remove extras with a two-step confirmation.
- Rediscover older bookmarks in Time Capsule.
- Compare against the last 90 days of local Chrome history to find bookmarks not visited lately.
Private by design:
Shelf runs entirely in Chrome. Bookmark titles, URLs, folders, favicons, and recent browsing history are processed locally on your device. Shelf has no account, analytics, ads, or external server, and it does not sell or transfer user data.
Permissions used:
- Bookmarks: read your bookmark tree, display folders, search saved pages, and remove bookmarks only after an explicit confirmation.
- Favicon: show local Chrome favicon images for saved pages.
- History: compare bookmarks against recent local browser history for the "Never visited lately" insight.
- Tabs: open Shelf from the toolbar, focus an existing Shelf tab, open search results, and open selected bookmarks.
