StowLink is a native bookmark manager for macOS 14 and later, with a free standalone iPhone app. Save links into nested folders, add personal notes, and browse rich previews, including playable video previews. Import existing bookmarks from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or an HTML bookmarks file.
Search across titles, URLs, domains, and descriptions to find saved links quickly. Global keyboard shortcuts let you save links and open your library from the menu bar. StowLink helps developers collect documentation, designers organize inspiration, researchers keep sources, and anyone maintain useful collections of articles, recipes, videos, or travel ideas.
Your library stays local by default. Optional iCloud sync keeps the library available across your Macs and iPhone using your Apple Account, without a separate StowLink account. The Mac app offers a trial limited to 10 links; a one-time $29 USD license covers two Macs. The iPhone app is free and also works on its own.

- Advanced Organization: Organize your links with intuitive nested folders and subfolders, allowing for highly structured categorization of your digital resources.
