Folders can have as many sub-folders as you need to organise your bookmarks. - Pin your bookmarks, tags or folders. - Remove common trackers from URLs with one click when adding / editing a bookmark. - Add notes to your bookmarks. - Import / Export bookmarks as JSON or HTML.

This allows you to add bookmarks directly from Safari and other apps. - A variety of keyboard shortcuts for iPad users. - Create QR Codes in a variety of colours for your bookmarks. You can view or share the QR Code from the bookmark detail view or with a left swipe / long-press on a bookmark. - Choose between different bookmark styles.
