Ever saved a video and never found that one useful moment in it again? MarkerShelf fixes that. MarkerShelf is a video bookmarking app: save videos from YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok — or import your own from Photos and Files — and drop timestamped markers on the exact moments that matter. The recipe step, the exercise demo, the 20 seconds of a tutorial you'll actually need again. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share a video to MarkerShelf from any app and it lands in your library with its title, thumbnail, and tags. Online videos play through each platform's official player — nothing is downloaded or re-hosted. MARK THE MOMENTS Tap once while watching to bookmark the current moment. Add a title, notes, and a screenshot so future-you knows exactly why it mattered. Jump straight back to any marker with one tap. FIND IT AGAIN Organize with tags and collections, browse your markers as a visual shelf, and search across everything — titles, notes, and tags. Your library becomes a personal reference, not a graveyard of "watch later" links. MADE FOR REAL USE • Instant one-tap markers while the video plays • Marker notes and screenshots • Tags, collections, and playlists • Fast search across videos, markers, and transcripts — find the moment by what was said • Loop any range to practice, study, or transcribe along • Full iPad support with keyboard shortcuts • Local videos from Photos and Files • Private by design — your library stays on your device Free to use.
