Create tasks directly from your web browser when something needs to be actioned on. INSTANTLY EVERYWHERE Clips sync in real time across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Windows and Web – anywhere Craft works. Use keyboard shortcuts to make your workflow even smoother. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your clips live only in your personal Craft workspace. We never track what you read. GET STARTED IN SECONDS 1.

MarkWell is a native bookmark manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Save links from anywhere, organize them with tags, and find them again later — across all your devices, with no separate account to manage. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share any URL from Safari, Mail, Messages, or any other app, straight into MarkWell using the system share sheet. The app fetches the page's title and favicon for you, so the bookmark looks right the moment it lands. TAGS, NOT FOLDERS Tag a link with as many ideas as it has. Filter the sidebar by tag to find things by mood, topic, or project — whatever sticks in your head. No nested folders to maintain, no rigid structure to fight against. IN YOUR MENU BAR On the Mac, MarkWell can run from the menu bar instead of the Dock. Its menu adds a bookmark, brings the window back, and quits — or set a single click on the icon to open New Bookmark straight away. SYNCED THROUGH YOUR OWN ICLOUD Bookmarks sync end-to-end through your own iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. There is no MarkWell account, no MarkWell server, and no analytics. Your data stays under your Apple ID, and the same bookmark you save on your iPhone shows up on your Mac a few seconds later. BRING YOUR BROWSER BOOKMARKS Import the bookmarks file that Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Vivaldi exports. Folders become tags, so the way you sorted things comes with you, and duplicates are flagged before they land. Export your library any time — as JSON for a complete MarkWell backup, or as a standard bookmarks file any browser can import. PRIVACY-FIRST MarkWell collects nothing. The only network call the app makes on its own is to read the title and favicon of a URL when you save it. There are no third-party SDKs, no advertising, no telemetry. The privacy policy at bendansby.com/apps/markwell/privacy.html spells it out in detail. REQUIREMENTS - Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later - iPhone or iPad running iOS / iPadOS 17 or later - Optional: iCloud account for cross-device sync (works fully offline without one) Feedback welcome — ben.dansby@gmail.com.
