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. Upgrade to Marker or Pro for higher limits and power features; Pro Yearly includes a 7-day free trial. Stop scrubbing through videos looking for "that part." Shelf it. Mark it. Find it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinkMyDrop at none against MarkerShelf's 3. LinkMyDrop also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). MarkerShelf's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
