Shiori is a bookmark manager that lives in your macOS menu bar, allowing you to save, organize, and open bookmarks without switching apps or opening a browser.
What is Shiori?
Shiori is a keyboard-first bookmark manager for macOS that resides in the menu bar. It takes URLs as input, along with optional tags, folders, and descriptions, and stores them in an encrypted, searchable library that syncs across all your Macs. It is developed by Appit Studio, the same team behind ExtraBar.
What makes Shiori stand out?
- Quick Save — Save links in seconds using a hotkey or the menu bar icon; tag and folder assignment happens at save time.
- Smart Organization — Organize bookmarks with tags, folders, and saved filters. Saved Filters let you create custom views for specific combinations of tags and folders, so the right bookmarks are always in front of you.
- Instant Search — Full-text search finds any bookmark instantly by title, URL, tag, or description. Search results appear as you type.
- Sync Everywhere — Bookmarks sync instantly across all your Macs. A web dashboard is available for managing bookmarks from any browser. iOS, Android, and browser extensions are in development.
- Import & Export — Import your existing bookmarks from any browser or bookmark manager via JSON, CSV, or HTML. Export your library anytime.
- Keyboard-Driven — Open Shiori with a hotkey, navigate with arrow keys, and launch, copy, or edit any link without touching the mouse.
- Encrypted & Private — Your bookmarks are encrypted and kept private. The company never sells or shares your data, and you can export or delete it whenever you want.
