Syncro / In development

Every bookmark, in step.

Syncro keeps one working copy of your bookmarks on your Mac. It reads Chrome and Safari, shows you each change before anything is written, and records every edit as a version that you can restore.

Interactive demo

Review the plan. Then apply it.

Two browsers changed the same bookmarks. Choose a title for the conflict, apply the plan, then restore an earlier version.

Review changes

  • NewSwift ForumsNew in Chrome
  • NewBlender ManualNew in Safari
  • MovedThree.js DocumentationMoved to the Reference folder in Safari
  • ConflictHacker NewsChrome and Safari each renamed it

Choose a title for the conflict first.

History

  1. Version 14Imported browser changesCurrent
  2. Version 13Edited two titles

This is a demonstration with sample bookmarks. It does not read your browsers.

Features

What it does

  • One library

    Search, create, edit, move and delete bookmarks and folders in a standard Mac window with a sidebar, a list and an inspector.

  • Review before sync

    See what is new, what moved and what conflicts. Nothing is written until you apply the plan.

  • Version history

    Each edit becomes a version. Restore an earlier version as a new one, so the history stays complete.

  • Conflict rules

    Choose a version for each conflict, or let one source win: manual review, Syncro, Chrome or Safari.

  • Duplicate cleanup

    Review duplicate links in each folder. Each copy shows if cleanup keeps it or removes it.

  • Verified backups

    The bookmark files of each Chrome profile and of Safari are backed up, and each backup is checked with SHA-256 before the first import.

Good to know

Honest limits

  • Chrome is written through an extension

    Browser writes use the bookmark API in Chrome through the bundled extension. Keep Chrome open until the extension reports the result.

  • Safari receives an export

    Safari has no public way to write bookmarks. You import an HTML export in Safari. The import only adds bookmarks, so you make moves, renames and deletions in Safari by hand.

  • No automatic cloud sync

    There is no background sync, and the app never signs into Google or iCloud. It cannot confirm that a change reached another device.

Questions

Questions and answers

When can I get Syncro?

It is in development. It will be free, like the other apps here. This page will show the download when it is ready.

Does it sync by itself?

No. You read the browser changes, review the plan and apply it. There is no background sync and no login agent.

Can I undo a change?

Yes. Undo and redo work for each local edit, and History restores any earlier version as a new version.

What if something goes wrong?

A backup of the bookmark file of each browser is made and verified before the first import. A large set of deletions needs your confirmation before an import.
