How is Marqly different from browser bookmarks?

Browser bookmarks store a title and a URL in folders you maintain by hand, locked inside one browser’s sync system. Marqly saves the page, tags it automatically with AI, summarizes articles, and lets you search by meaning — “that piece about pricing psychology” — across everything you’ve saved. And because the library lives in a web app with extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari plus an iOS app, it isn’t tied to any single browser.

No folders to maintain

Browser bookmarks make organization your job, and the job never ends: pick a folder at save time, prune dead links, restructure when the taxonomy stops fitting. Marqly removes the filing step — AI assigns tags to every save automatically, so saving is one click and the structure builds itself. Why folder-based bookmark organizing is obsolete covers how folders fail as a library grows.

Search that works on memory, not titles

Your browser’s bookmark search matches literal text in titles and URLs. That fails exactly when you need it: the title was clickbait, or “Untitled Document,” or you simply remember the idea rather than the words. Marqly’s semantic search matches meaning across titles, page content, your highlights, and video transcripts, so a half-remembered description is enough to surface the save.

More than a link

A browser bookmark is a pointer. A Marqly save can carry more: AI summaries of articles for fast triage, highlights in six colors with notes attached that persist on the page when you revisit, and boards that group related links and highlights — shareable as a public page if you want.

Your existing bookmarks come along

Switching doesn’t mean starting over. Every major browser exports bookmarks as a standard HTML file, and Marqly imports it — see how to import Chrome bookmarks. Once imported, the old pile gets the same treatment as new saves: auto-tags and meaning-based search instead of folders you no longer remember building.
