Too many bookmarks, saved pages, and links you never find again? LinkBox is a bookmark and link manager for iPhone that helps you save web pages first, then organize them later with tags, search, read later, and simple local rules. Save links from Safari, Chrome, and other apps through the share sheet. You can also copy a web link and manually add it from the clipboard inside LinkBox. When you find an article, document, tool, forum post, or search result, you do not have to file it right away. Save it first, then come back when you are ready. Already have a lot of bookmarks in your browser? Import a Safari or Chrome bookmarks HTML file and move your saved pages into LinkBox. Browser folders can become tags, and duplicate links are merged automatically.
