Markster 2.6 – Centrally store bookmarks to facilitate syncing.

April 6, 2018

Markster keeps your internet bookmarks in a central store. People use Markster because either:

The internal bookmarks facilities (Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, Favorites Bar, etc.) in their web browser(s) do not meet their feature expectations.
They use more than one web browser, and prefer to keep all their bookmarks in a separate app, independent of the web browsers, instead of syncing the browsers’ internal bookmarks facilities together.

When Markster users want to visit a bookmark they have previously stored, or add a new bookmark, instead of reaching for the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu in the browser, they bring up Markster’s Floating Menu. Markster provides three ways to do that:

Global Keyboard Shortcut, for example Cmd-Shift-D.
Dock Menu
Status Menulet (right side of Menu Bar)

The keyboard shortcut and/or status menulet are enable/disabled in Markster’s preferences.

What’s New

Version 2.6:

Now supports importing and exporting the old Netscape .html files which are still exported and imported by most web browsers and bookmarking services.
No longer mangles numeric literal IPv6 URLs upon entering them.
If the Launch in Background preference is switched on, and a web browser is the active application before the app is launched, and the app is launched from the macOS Dock or LaunchPad, and one or both Global Keyboard Shortcuts are configured, those keyboard shortcuts now work (as expected) in the web browser immediately, without the user first needing activate a different application and then return to the web browser.
