Best for a bookmark manager that is free to use
Booky is an online bookmark manager with collections, categories, notes and import and export. The regular membership is free and has no limit on bookmarks. Public sharing and the duplicate finder need the supporter membership at 2 euros a month and up, paid through PayPal, and the phone apps are a web app, not store apps.
Who Booky is for
- Fits if you want a free bookmark manager with collections
- Works for someone who saves from several browsers and devices
Who Booky is not for
- Skip it if you want to share collections publicly for free: it needs the supporter membership
- Not for you if you want store apps: the iOS and Android versions are a web app

- Watch out: the duplicate finder is supporter-only

Keep Booky, or make your own?
Your call
A read-later list at its plainest is saved links with tags.
You could make the core of Booky for yourself: bookmarks and web clipper. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $26.81 a year it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.
What you could make
- Bookmarks and web clipper: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Booky’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
