This update brings a more consistent design across Bookmer, smarter menus, improved navigation, better folder and tag handling, a new Web Archive feature, and fixes across desktop, iPhone, and iPad.

Folder Icons & Colors

Folder icon changes now appear instantly throughout Bookmer. Updating an icon or its color immediately refreshes the top navigation and side navigation without requiring a page reload.

The folder icon picker now also matches the bookmark icon picker, with clearer selected states and improved readability.

Setting an icon background color is more flexible, too. Choose a color directly from the palette or use the eyedropper to pick one from anywhere on screen.

The eyedropper has also been improved for better accuracy on photos, large images, emojis, and icons.

Smarter Menus

Context menus now open directly from the icon you clicked, making them feel visually connected to the control they belong to. This applies across profile, folder, and editor menus.

Submenus such as Support, Tools, and Export Bookmarks now wait for a brief pointer pause before opening, reducing accidental activations.

Toggle actions such as Exclude search and Pin no longer close the menu after every change, making it easier to adjust several options at once. The Pin action also updates immediately between Pin and Unpin.

Background Menu

The background menu has been redesigned to be smaller, clearer, and more consistent.

It now opens directly where you click and uses a unified layout for Blur, Dim, Text & Icon, and Remove, with consistent icon sizes, typography, alignment, and color controls.

Safer Editing

Bookmer now protects unsaved changes when creating a folder, creating a bookmark, or editing a background color.

If you try to close an editor with unsaved changes, Bookmer asks before discarding them, with Keep editing as the default action. If nothing has changed, the editor closes immediately.

Tags Update Instantly

Tag folders and the Tags overview now refresh automatically whenever a #hashtag is added, changed, or removed from a note.

No page reload is required.

Custom Domains

Managing custom domains is now more straightforward.

The Domain tab now has a dedicated Add domain button. Selecting it reveals the domain field together with Cancel and Save actions.

Remove domain now appears directly beside the active domain for quicker access.

Navigation

The side navigation has been refined for clearer states and more consistent alignment.

The folder currently being viewed now has a stronger active highlight, while hover uses a clearly lighter appearance so the two states are easy to distinguish — including on glass backgrounds.

Folder expand and collapse controls now provide clearer hover feedback.

The navigation menu button is precisely aligned with the search field and keeps the same visual appearance as other Bookmer icons across interaction states.

Titles, spacing, and sizing in the side navigation now also match the Preferences interface more closely.

Improved Search

Sidebar search is more reliable and responsive.

Results now update after a brief pause in typing rather than on every keystroke, always reflecting the latest query.

Search also continues working correctly after deleting part of a query and typing again, and opening a folder from search results now automatically clears the search.

A Cleaner Look

Bookmark and folder menu buttons now use the same translucent glass appearance as the search bar.

Icons automatically adapt to the content behind them, keeping controls readable across light and dark wallpapers.

Glass surfaces throughout Bookmer have also been made more consistent across light mode, dark mode, solid backgrounds, and wallpapers.

Keyboard & Interaction Improvements

Keyboard-focused controls now use a distinct focus ring instead of a filled background, making focus states easier to distinguish across both glass and solid surfaces.

The Undo action in confirmation messages now uses Bookmer’s shared button design for a more consistent interface.

Shared Pages

Exclude search is no longer shown on public shared pages.

Visitors now see only the actions relevant to them: New tab, Popup, and Copy URL.

Spacing in Share Folder settings has also been improved, removing the oversized gap between Searchable for Search Engines and Require Password.

API Settings

Code examples in API Settings now use the same card layout and width as the settings above them.

The Copy button is now integrated directly into the code box instead of appearing separately beside it.

iPhone & iPad

Fixed an issue where opening View style could make the menu behind it disappear.

View style now behaves consistently with Sort by: the menu remains in place while only the selected row transitions.

Tapping outside an open Preferences panel now simply closes it instead of accidentally activating a folder or bookmark underneath.

Additional Fixes & Improvements

This update also includes additional interface refinements, consistency improvements, and reliability fixes throughout Bookmer.

From now on, there is only one browser extension for Chrome. We are discontinuing Bookmer Collect, Bookmer New Tab, and Bookmer Launcher, and replacing them with Bookmer—a single extension that combines all three functions. You can still quickly add links with the button, open new tabs with Bookmer, and activate the launcher through search engines like Google. Everything now works through one app.

Go to the Chrome Web Store

We have removed the menu editor. From now on, all users will have only standard dropdown menus. To provide a better view, the options are divided into sub-navigation, so all functions are visible at once.

This is a completely new revision of the navigation bar. It is noticeably more compact and cleaner.
From now on, the Collection area is the main folder and main section, as before, but with the difference that it is firmly integrated into the other folders. The archive has been completely removed and replaced with a new height function. This allows all links or folders to be hidden. That means they are not visible in the collection, but remain accessible via the navigation bar.
The interaction for hiding elements is a bit different: we have integrated a slider. Additionally, the search bar is now permanently integrated, and you can directly create new folders via the plus symbol in the header of the navigation bar.
Tags are now located in a tidy area where you have an overview. Unassigned, hidden links are gathered in a central area if they are not assigned to a specific folder.

From now on, the New Search popup window is available.
If this option is active, the search engines convert the results into a popup window that facilitates the search.
You can directly set a search result or a search tab there, and it will open automatically.

We have removed the Google widget for this. This feature completely replaces the widget.

These search engines are supported:
