Pinboard is a fast, minimal bookmark service built around tags. Bookmer is a visual bookmark manager: folders, icons, search, and the same library on every browser.
Pinboard suits people who want a sparse list and are fine paying before they begin. Bookmer lets you start without a credit card, then arrange links in folders you can scan, share, or publish.
Search covers titles, tags, notes and — on PRO and ULTRA — the text of pages you saved. Import HTML, JSON, CSV or Excel if you already have an export.
