Linkable vs MarkWell

Linkable is the simplest way to save and revisit links on your iPhone. Whenever you spot something worth reading, share it to Linkable in one tap, and it'll be waiting for you, neatly organized and searchable, whenever you're ready. Linkable is 100% free with no ads and no data collection. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE The built-in Share Extension lets you send any URL from Safari or any other app directly into Linkable — no copy-pasting required. ORGANIZE WITH TAGS Create color-coded tags to keep your links sorted exactly the way you think. Filter your list by one or more tags with a single tap, and flip between "All" and any combination instantly. READ YOUR WAY Every link opens in three modes you can switch between on the fly: Web View — the full live page, just like Safari. Reader Mode — strips away clutter and reformats the article as clean, distraction-free text. Offline Archive — save a snapshot of any page to read later, even when you're offline. POWERFUL SEARCH & SORT Full-text search across all your saved links. Sort by newest or oldest, and filter by estimated reading time so you always know what you can finish in the time you have. IMPORT YOUR LIBRARY Easily import your existing reading lists from Pocket or Instapaper to bring all your links into one private, local home. SPOTLIGHT INTEGRATION Your saved links surface right in iOS Spotlight search, so you can jump straight to any saved page without even opening the app. PRIVACY-FIRST No accounts. No trackers. No data collection. Linkable stores everything locally on your device. What you save is your business. Whether you're building a reading list, collecting research, or just saving things to come back to later, Linkable keeps them all in one place and out of your way until you need them.

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. 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. 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.
