## What is LesterMark?

A permanent bookmark for everything you use.

LesterMark bookmarks the thing itself — wherever it actually lives — so you can find it, search it, and open it straight back to its source, all from one place. Capture files, photos, web pages, and Obsidian notes right from your iPhone or iPad, using the share sheet — no copying, no moving files around, no separate folder structure to maintain.

Once you're bookmarking, LesterMark also lets you connect bookmarks to each other: relate a note to the file it's about, an email to the document it references, and see what's linked in and out from any bookmark.

What you can do, right here on your phone:
Capture Bookmarks from Safari, Photos, Files, and Obsidian
Create and manage your own tags
Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files are recognized automatically
Browse your whole library with thumbnails, tags, and notes
Search and filter by type, tag, or recency
Relate bookmarks to each other, and see what's linked in and out
Tap a LesterMark link anywhere on your phone to jump straight to it
Send links back into your Obsidian notes

Pair with LesterMark for Mac to unlock even more: Mail, Bible references, Apple Notes capture, and more, all synced automatically through iCloud.

No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays in your own iCloud.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-25

Capture PDFs from Safari — now works everywhere

LesterMark now appears in Safari's share sheet when you're viewing an inline PDF — a bank statement, a report, a form — directly in the browser. Previously, the share sheet would appear for web pages and photos but skip PDFs entirely. Tap the share button, choose LesterMark, and you get a permanent bookmark that stays openable on both iPhone and iPad.

The bookmark links back to a saved copy of the PDF, not just a reference to a temporary file, so it's still there and still openable days or weeks later.

Cleaner permission screens

The screen that asks for access to your files has been rewritten to use plain language throughout. The button that was sometimes shown in a disabled state now explains why, clearly. "Show in Files" now appears only where it makes sense — for PDF captures — instead of on every type of object.

Type badge colors

You can now customize the color of the type badge shown on bookmarks in Settings. Pick from a set of presets to visually distinguish your different object types at a glance.

Stability fixes

Files recaptured after being moved or renamed now show up correctly in the library after a refresh. Capture and Save recovers cleanly from sources in sandboxed locations.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-18

New:
• Search by meaning, not just keywords — on-device, works in English and Danish
• Capture Google Maps places and Google Photos
• Customize swipe actions on Bookmarks — favorite, edit tags, edit title & note, and more, independently on left and right
• Appearance setting: Automatic, Light, or Dark, overriding your system setting if you want
• Tag counts in Manage Tags now jump straight to that filtered view
• Toggle colored type badges on or off

Fixed:
• Bookmarks no longer occasionally spin forever on first launch
• Deleting and restoring Bookmarks is now instant
• Share Extension buttons are visible in Dark Mode
• Movie and TV Show are now one unified "Movie" type

New: Capture from Bear, YouTube, Google Docs/Sheets/Slides, Medium, Mofibo (Storytel), and Voice Memos, right from the Share Sheet.
New: Export your bookmarks as Netscape Bookmark HTML, a Markdown folder, CSV, or JSON.
