Changelog

All notable changes to Snapmarks will be documented here.

v2.0.0

Latest

Added

  • A third way to see your bookmarks: horizontal columns, one per category, with sub-categories as collapsible sections.
  • Drag a column by its header to reorder your top-level categories.
  • Drag a bookmark onto another column or sub-category to move it there.
  • Nest, promote, and reparent categories by dragging them between columns.
  • Filter which categories are shown, and collapse or expand them all at once.
  • Empty categories still show, so you can drag the first bookmark into them.
  • Drag a column's edge to resize it.
  • A new Themes tab in Settings with six gradient presets, or upload your own background image.
  • Drag bookmarks and categories onto a Trash chip to set them aside, then empty it when you want them gone. Switch it on in Settings.
  • The side panel Actions tab has been reorganised — Settings, card size, cloud sync, backups and icons each get their own clearly grouped section, and Actions now opens first.
  • The top-right button now opens and closes the side panel directly, instead of opening a menu first. Settings has moved into the side panel.
  • Click any column or sub-category header in sheet view to jump straight to that category in the dial view. Also available from the header right-click menu.

Fixed

  • Filtering by a tag now shows which category each bookmark lives in, the same as search results do.
  • Searching or filtering by a tag in sheet view now hides categories with no matches, with a clear message when nothing matches at all.
  • The "Go further with Pro" button no longer appears to users who already have Pro.
  • Tooltips now read the same everywhere, instead of picking up the styling of whatever they were attached to.
  • The add tile and the page right-click menu are hidden while viewing Trash, since neither applies there.
  • The side panel button now shows whether the panel is open, and fades on hover even when a background image is set.
  • Dragging a sub-category onto a breadcrumb now moves it there from any level, not just the one directly above.

v1.3.1

Added

  • Snapmarks can now tell you what's new after an update, without any browser notifications.
  • Filter the popular sites list by name or domain, with each group sorted alphabetically.
  • The Finance group in the popular sites picker now covers major banks, brokerages, and budgeting tools.

Fixed

  • The category picker in Bulk Edit is now wide enough to read longer category names.

v1.2.0

Added

  • Sub-categories are now available on the free tier (1 level).
  • Automatic cloud backups now keep the 3 most recent snapshots, so you can roll back further.

Fixed

  • Bulk Edit adding tags now properly adds and renders tags.
  • Automatic cloud backup no longer kicks off when your Chrome bookmarks sync in the background.
  • Automatic cloud backup now runs reliably even after every tab is closed.
  • The "Synced X ago" indicator now updates as soon as a sync finishes.
  • Fixed cloud sync occasionally re-applying unchanged data because of clock differences between your device and the server.

v1.1.0

Added

  • Search results now show which category each bookmark lives in — with the full path on hover for nested categories.
  • Hidden categories show up in search too, marked with a dashed outline, so you can find and jump straight to them.
  • Drag a bookmark onto a sub-category to file it there, or drag a sub-category onto another category to re-nest it. Drop a bookmark on the breadcrumb to move it up a level.
  • The Home breadcrumb takes you back to your first category.
  • Pro features stay active even if our sign-in server is briefly unreachable.
  • New tutorial page and intro video on snapmarks.io to help you get started.

Fixed

  • Simplified the bookmark right-click menu — set a bookmark's category from Edit.
  • Category tooltips on search results now stay on-screen and read clearly.
  • Various small fixes and polish.

v1.0.0

Added

  • Crisp logos for virtually any site, plus bundled icons for Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Drive).
  • Icons are cached for instant loads, with a "Refresh icons" button in the side panel.
  • Collapsible category tree for picking a category or parent, instead of a flat list.
  • New "+" tile menu — Add Bookmark, Add Category, and Add Child Category (Pro).
  • Welcome to Pro screen with confetti the first time your Pro features unlock.

Fixed

  • Pro features unlock reliably right after purchase — no more signing out and back in.
  • Deleting a category now also removes its sub-categories, with a clear warning.
  • Hiding categories works correctly with nesting — hidden sub-categories disappear, and you're moved to a visible level if the one you're viewing gets hidden.
  • Clicking a category whose parent is hidden no longer jumps you elsewhere.
  • Saving from the popup switches the new tab to that bookmark's category.

v0.9.0

Added

  • Create an account and sign in to keep your bookmarks safe.
  • Your bookmarks, categories, and tags stay up to date everywhere you're signed in.
  • Save named backups online and restore any of them in a click.
  • Rename or delete your cloud backups anytime.
  • Always know your bookmarks are saved.
  • Your Pro features unlock automatically after you buy.
  • Put categories inside other categories and drill in like folders, with a breadcrumb and a quick "go back" cue.
  • Your Chrome bookmark folder structure is now kept intact when bookmarks are imported.

Fixed

  • You now stay signed in reliably across sessions.
  • Jumping to a category from the side panel works consistently.
  • Tag management in the side panel.
  • Bulk actions and the restore confirmation dialog.

Added

v0.6.0

Added

  • Walks new users through picking popular sites, choosing a theme, and setting up their grid before they see an empty page.
  • Switch modes from the wizard or the settings dialog at any time.
  • Saving a URL that already exists in the same category is blocked with a clear prompt and an Edit shortcut; saving to a different category is allowed but flagged.

v0.5.0

Added

  • Select multiple bookmarks to move, tag, or delete in one action.

  • Confirmation dialogs on all destructive actions (delete bookmark, delete category, bulk delete, restore from backup).
  • Context menus reposition automatically to stay within the viewport.
  • Creating a new category now auto-selects it.

v0.4.0

Added

  • Backup & Restore — export all bookmarks, categories, and tags to a JSON file; import from any backup in one click
  • Right-click context menu on the page background — add bookmark, new category, open settings, show side panel
  • Settings modal — left nav + content area, designed to grow as options are added
  • Create categories on the fly from the popup, add bookmark modal, and edit bookmark modal
  • Actions tab in the side panel for verb-oriented operations (backup, restore, and future Pro actions)

Fixed

  • Last selected category is remembered across new tab opens
  • Category visibility (show/hide) no longer resets when a new bookmark is added
  • Popup now pre-selects the category that was active on the new tab page
