The Pocket alternative built to outlast Pocket.
Pocket shut down in July 2025 and took your trust with it. MarkFlow is a modern bookmark manager with AI organization, semantic search, and a privacy-first home for everything you save.
After Pocket, I'm done with apps that vanish overnight. I need a bookmark manager I can actually trust to be here in five years.

What MarkFlow does that others don't
AI that actually organizes
Auto-tagging, semantic search across your collection, and AI that proposes folder structures — not gimmicks bolted on.
Cross-browser by design
Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera extensions ship with parity. Your bookmarks travel — your browser choice doesn't matter.
Privacy stance, not a footnote
Privacy-first infrastructure. No selling, no behavioral ads, no surprise account migrations after acquisition.
