Changelog

All notable changes to Snapmarks will be documented here.

v1.2.0

Latest

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 now runs reliably even after every tab is closed, and no longer kicks off when your Chrome bookmarks sync in the background
  • 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
  • New tutorial page and intro video on snapmarks.io to help you get started

Fixed

  • Category tooltips on search results now stay on-screen and read clearly
  • Pro features stay active even if our sign-in server is briefly unreachable
  • Simplified the bookmark right-click menu — set a bookmark's category from Edit
  • Various small fixes and polish

v1.0.0

Added

  • Sharper bookmark icons — 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 (Pro)
  • 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 (Pro)
  • Clicking a category whose parent is hidden no longer jumps you elsewhere (Pro)
  • Saving from the popup switches the new tab to that bookmark's category

v0.9.0

Added

  • Snapmarks accounts — create an account and sign in to keep your bookmarks safe
  • Sync across devices — your bookmarks, categories, and tags stay up to date everywhere you're signed in (Pro)
  • Cloud backups — save named backups online and restore any of them in a click (Pro)
  • Manage your backups from Settings — rename or delete them anytime (Pro)
  • "Last synced" indicator so you always know your bookmarks are saved
  • Upgrade to Pro right from the extension — your Pro features unlock automatically after you buy
  • Nested categories — put categories inside other categories and drill in like folders, with a breadcrumb and a quick "go back" cue (Pro)
  • 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

v0.7.0

Added

  • Category descriptions — add a note to any category that appears on hover over the chip
  • Hamburger menu — quick access to the side panel and settings from the top-right corner
  • Category right-click menu — edit or remove a category directly from the chip without opening the side panel
  • Click a category or tag in the side panel to jump to it in the new tab page
  • Enhanced light theme

v0.6.0

Added

  • First-run wizard — walks new users through picking popular sites, choosing a theme, and setting up their grid before they see an empty page
  • Dark / light / auto theme toggle — switch modes from the wizard or the settings dialog at any time
  • Duplicate handling — 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

  • Bulk edit — select multiple bookmarks to move, tag, or delete in one action
  • Add popular sites — curated list of 49 sites grouped by category, pre-checked for quick setup

  • Deleting a category now removes all bookmarks in that category
  • Context menus reposition automatically to stay within the viewport
