About

Trove Bookmarks

Read full description

Trove is a calm, focused place to keep the links you actually want to come back to. A clean shelf. A reading queue. Colored tags. No timelines, no feeds, no algorithms deciding what you should read next. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Save any link with a title, host, note and tags โ€” straight from inside the app โ€ข All view with instant search across titles, hosts, notes and tags โ€ข Reading Queue for the things you mean to read but never quite get to โ€ข Favorites for the handful of links you actually use again and again โ€ข Color-coded tags so the right corner of your library is one tap away โ€ข Sort by Recent, Oldest, Most Opened or Host โ€ข Open Count next to every link so you can see what you actually return to โ€ข Parchment-and-brass design that stays out of the way DESIGNED FOR FOCUS Trove is built around one idea: a bookmark is only useful if you can find it again. Tag it once, sort by how often you open it, and let the noise fall away. Open the queue, pick the next thing, get back to your day. PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Your saved links live on your device.
