iOS and Android apps

The native apps, now in testing.

Native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android are in testing and not in the App Store or Google Play yet. Until they are, the web app works in your phone's browser and can be installed to your home screen (see Getting started).

What the apps do

  • Sign in, then unlock your vault on the device. Your passphrase never leaves the phone.
  • Browse, search and edit bookmarks; links open in your default browser.
  • Save links from any app through the share sheet. If the link is already in your library, the sheet says You already have this bookmark and shows the saved copy's title and collection; Save still adds a second copy. The check covers the first 5,000 bookmarks and runs on the phone. On Android, View it opens the saved bookmark in the app. iOS doesn't let the share sheet open the app, so it shows the details only. With Privacy Mode on, if the app you share from doesn't send the page title, Bookmark Minder fetches it on your phone, without your cookies, so the link isn't sent to us. If that fails, Fetch the page title asks our server instead and sends the link unencrypted.
  • Create, rename, move, nest and delete collections.
  • Require Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode to open the app, and lock it when you leave.
  • Light and dark mode, and a text size setting.

iPhone and iPad

  • Choose how long the vault stays unlocked (the same options as the web app) and unlock with a PIN.
  • Import pasted lists of links and browser HTML files from the Files app.
  • Export your library as JSON.

Android

The Android app does not have the vault lock timeout, PIN unlock, import or export yet. Those are on the way so both apps match the web app.
