Need Folders & Icon Colour Change

Please Fix This -
1. I Don't Like Tag System At All, Please Give Folder Options too
2. Give Option to Change Icon Colour

Response from developer

Thanks a lot! ❤️ Folders have been requested a few times, we definitely have it on our backlog!

Exactly what I was looking for!

This is the perfect replacement for the defunct Pocket app. It is simple, fast, and manages links without any clutter. The developer is incredibly responsive and clearly cares about the user experience. Highly recommended, especially after trying so many.
