Bookmark Manager#

Shiori is ExtraBar's built-in bookmark manager. Organize your bookmarks with folders, tags, and search. With a premium plan, you can sync bookmarks across all your Macs.

Open the Bookmark Manager with ⇧ + ⌘ + B or from ExtraBar → Settings → Shiori.

Getting started#

  1. Open ExtraBar → Settings (⚙) → Shiori
  2. Connect with your Shiori account — sign in or register directly from the app. A valid ExtraBar license grants you the free Explorer plan.
  3. Import your bookmarks or start adding new ones

After connecting, open the manager with the hotkey, the Open Manager button in Shiori settings, or Bookmark Manager in the ExtraBar app menu.

Bookmarks#

A bookmark has a name, URL, and optional description. You can also assign it to a folder and add tags.

From the Bookmark Manager you can:

  • Add bookmarks with the Quick Add button
  • Edit a bookmark's name, URL, description, folder, or tags
  • Select Items to multi-select bookmarks and folders, then Move to another folder or Delete them in bulk
  • Search by name or URL
  • Filter by folder or tags
  • Open a bookmark in your browser or Copy URL to the clipboard

Quick Add defaults to the folder you currently have selected. Pinned bookmarks show a pin badge, and the bookmark widget can list them first.

Deleted bookmarks go to the Recycle Bin in the sidebar, so deletions are recoverable — restore them or empty the bin permanently.

Folders#

Organize bookmarks into folders. Folders support:

  • Custom names and colors
  • Sub-folders (nested hierarchy)
  • Custom display order via drag and drop

Tags#

Tags provide a second layer of organization alongside folders. A bookmark can have multiple tags. Tags have a custom name and color.

Link Groups and Saved Filters#

  • Link Groups — Save a set of URLs and open them all together with Open Links. Give the group tags and the whole launch follows your browser routing rules, so every link lands in the right Chrome profile. Drag the rows to set the launch order.
  • Saved Filters — Filters saved in your Shiori account can drive the bookmark widget on your bar. Your plan's saved-filter usage appears in Settings (⚙) → Shiori.

Browser routing (BETA)#

If you use Google Chrome with multiple profiles, you can route bookmarks to a specific Chrome profile based on their tags. Add a rule with Add Route — pick a tag, then the Chrome profile it should open in — under Browser Routing in Settings (⚙) → Shiori or in the Routing section of the Bookmark Manager sidebar. Default Destination chooses what happens when no rule matches: Focused App opens the link in the browser or app you were just using, or pick a specific Chrome profile.

Bookmark widget#

You can add a Bookmark Widget to your bar for quick access without opening the full manager. The widget shows your bookmarks in a popover with search, folder filtering, and keyboard navigation.

Import and export#

Exporting:

Export your bookmarks in three formats:

  • JSON
  • CSV
  • HTML (browser compatible)

Importing:

Import bookmarks from:

  • File Import — HTML or JSON bookmark files (works with browser exports)
  • App-Specific Import — Exports from Raindrop.io, Pocket, or Pinboard

You can optionally assign everything you import to a Destination Folder.

Sync and offline#

Shiori syncs bookmarks across all your Macs automatically. Changes made offline are queued and synced when you reconnect. The sidebar shows sync status and pending changes.

If the sidebar reports Data out of sync, click Fix to review bookmarks that exist only on this Mac and either create them on the server or delete the local copies.

Plans#

Shiori offers three tiers:

  • Explorer (free) — Get started with bookmarks, folders, and tags. Included with a valid ExtraBar license.
  • Professional — Unlimited bookmarks, saved filters, and link groups.
  • Power User — Everything in Professional plus upcoming AI tools. Coming soon.

Paid plans are available monthly or yearly (yearly saves 20%), and a one-time Lifetime option grants lifetime access to Professional features.

Manage your plan from ExtraBar → Settings → Shiori — usage meters show how much of each limit (bookmarks, tags, folders, saved filters, link groups) you're using, and checkout and billing are handled in your browser.
