BookMacster overview

BookMacster is a bookmarks manager for your Mac which plays nicely with iCloud Safari syncing, Firefox Sync, Sign In to Chrome, and Opera Sync. (Ours are the only non-Apple apps which can modify Safari bookmarks without corrupting iCloud data.) It can be used in one of three ways, or all three:

  • Manage Browser Bookmarks. Add alphabetizing and tagging. Verify, fix dupes, consolidate.
  • Cross-Browser Syncing. Sync bookmarks of Firefox, Chrome, Opera and more among all your devices.
  • Directly. Keep your bookmarks in one central store, accessible within web browsers.
Features
  • Compatible with iCloud Safari syncing, Firefox Sync, Google Chrome's Sign In. Bookmarks added to these apps on your Mac will show up in these apps on iOS or Andriod devices.
  • Import/export with Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, iCab, Brave, Orion, Pinboard, Diigo, and OmniWeb.
  • Easily organize with tags, hierarchy, or both.
  • Verifies bookmarks, fixes redirects, duplicates, can upgrade insecure bookmarks and remove URL cruft.
  • Sort (alphabetize) automatically when bookmarks are changed. You control which folders you want to be sorted or not sorted, how to sort them.
  • Supports multiple user profiles in Firefox and Google Chrome.
  • Scriptable to collect new bookmarks from NetNewsWire or similar apps.

What’s new in version 3.1.6

  • Much less likely to display Error 592957 or 582958, which has been seen by some users particularly after logging in to their Mac if our app was running before logging out, and the checkbox “Reopen windows when logging back in” in the system’s confirmation dialog was on.  (Increased the timeout before displaying Error 592957 or 582958 from 6.4 seconds to 60.1 seconds.)
  • Syncing Status Report now correctly shows how long ago any BkmxAgent was launched instead of “???” as it has in recent versions.

DO NOT install this on 12.5. Sync didn't work for any of my browsers so I went back to 2.12.4. The database of all my bookmarks had been upgraded to V3 and was unusable. I had TimeMachine backup, but I still had to reinstall all the sync and button plugins to all my browsers to sync again with the older version. I wasted an hour backporting. I didn't try running this on 12.6, but I'm guessing that it does. The app should check and say so if the version isn't compatible. Over the years, I've had issues with BookMacster but the developer has always been willing to work with me and it MANY moving parts to resolve the issues. I feel I'd be pestering him unnecessarily to whine that V3 doesn't sync bookmarks on 12.5.1. I'll wait until I upgrade to 12.6 and V3.0 has had some time to mature before I upgrade. As I said, lots of moving parts that can have problems...

This keeps my bookmarks synced, as advertised. If you spend a little time setting up BookMacster, it just works. I did have a problem at one point. I contacted the developer and he was responsive and kept with me until the problem was resolved.

This app is very difficult to work with. The instructions do not match the actions well. I have used this in the past and still find the same problems in the current version. All I need is an app that will alphabetize bookmarks and sync to several browsers. Alphabetization works well but syncing always gives error messages and is quite annoying. Way too many preference settings and way too many screens to work in. PLEASE simplify!
