Never lose a bookmark again
Back up, find, and organize your Chrome bookmarks. Everything stays on your device.
Your bookmarks deserve better tools
You have saved hundreds of bookmarks over the years. Most bookmark tools want you to migrate everything to their cloud, create an account, or replace your workflow entirely. TrueBookmark works with the bookmarks already in Chrome and adds what is actually missing: local backup with full restore, instant search across your entire library, and safe cleanup with undo on everything. No account required. No uploading. Your bookmarks stay right where they are.
Your bookmarks, always protected
Create full backups of your bookmark library and restore to any previous state. No account needed. Backups are never locked behind a paywall.
See everything that changed
Every bookmark added, moved, edited, or deleted is recorded. Accidentally deleted something? Filter by action type and restore it with one click.
Clean up without fear
Find duplicates and empty folders with one scan. Preview every change before it touches your bookmarks. A safety backup is created before any cleanup, and every action can be undone.
Stop digging through folders
Open the popup and start typing. TrueBookmark searches titles, URLs, and folder paths all at once. Results come back instantly. No new tabs, no context switching.

Frequently asked questions
- What permissions does TrueBookmark need?
TrueBookmark needs access to your bookmarks for backup, search, and cleanup. It also reads website icons from Chrome's local cache - this stays on your device and never sends your bookmarked URLs to an outside service. It does not request browsing history, tabs, or access to the websites you visit.
- Does my bookmark data leave my device?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. The only network call is license verification for Pro users, which sends no bookmark data.
- How is this different from Chrome Sync?
Chrome Sync copies bookmarks to your Google account for cross-device access. TrueBookmark creates local backups you control, with point-in-time restore, duplicate detection, and organization tools. They work well together.
- Can I use TrueBookmark for free?
Yes. Manual backups, popup search, duplicate cleanup, and weekly summaries are free forever. Pro adds automation and monitoring for users who want less manual work. See pricing.
- How is this different from other bookmark extensions?
Most bookmark tools fall into two camps: cloud managers that require an account and store your data on their servers, or cleanup utilities that offer no undo and no backup. TrueBookmark combines backup, search, and organization in one extension, keeps everything local, and makes every action reversible. No account needed, no data uploaded, no ads.
- Will TrueBookmark modify my bookmarks without asking?
Never. Every action requires your explicit confirmation. A safety backup is created before any destructive action, and you can undo immediately.
- Does TrueBookmark replace my new tab page?
No. Your new tab page stays exactly as it is. TrueBookmark lives in the toolbar icon and opens as a popup or a full-page manager.
- What happens if I uninstall TrueBookmark?
Your Chrome bookmarks stay exactly where they are. TrueBookmark never moves or copies them elsewhere. Your local backups and search index will be removed, so export any backups you want to keep first.
