Leaf Bookmarks is your personal space for links worth keeping. Every day you come across articles, videos, products, recipes and ideas you want to come back to. Saving them is easy. Finding them again, and remembering why they mattered, is the hard part. Leaf turns your saved links into a library that is easy to browse, search and actually use. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no sign-up. Open the app and start saving. • Your library is stored on your device and synced through your own private iCloud. • AI runs on your device. Your links are never sent to an AI service. SAVE AND ORGANIZE • Save links from the app or from the share sheet in any app. • Organize with folders, nested folders and tags. • Add notes and custom thumbnails. • Choose how your cards look.
