Smart Bookmarks

The atomic unit of LinkVolv — saving, syncing, and tagging.

Bookmarks are the atomic unit of LinkVolv. Each one is a clean, structured record of a page — URL, title, summary, key points, tags, and a vector embedding — that can be searched, grouped, and archived.

Overview

  • Cross-device sync — every Bookmark is available on every signed-in client.
  • AI-enriched on save — summary, key points, and (Pro) embedding are attached automatically.
  • Exportable any time — JSON, Markdown, or HTML, no lock-in.

Saving a bookmark

From the extension

The fastest path. Click the LinkVolv toolbar icon, or press the keyboard shortcut:

  • macOS: Shift K
  • Windows / Linux: Ctrl Shift K

A toast confirms the save and the Bookmark appears in your dashboard. Summaries arrive a few seconds later.

From the dashboard

Paste any URL into the input at the top of your library and pressEnter. Useful for batch-importing links from email, Slack, or your notes app.

Mobile share sheet

On iOS and Android, share any URL from your browser to the LinkVolv app to save without opening the dashboard.

Tagging & organization

LinkVolv suggests tags automatically based on the page’s topic. You can accept, edit, or replace them. Tags are flat — no nested folders — which keeps retrieval fast and avoids the decision-fatigue of deep hierarchies.

For workflow-level grouping, use Sessions instead.

Limits & quotas

  • Free — up to 1,000 bookmarks, 20 AI calls included.
  • Pro — unlimited bookmarks and unlimited AI calls (fair use).
  • Lifetime Plus — unlimited bookmarks, 24 months of AI included, then graceful downgrade.

What ‘graceful downgrade’ means

After your Lifetime Plus AI window ends, your library is preserved and remains searchable by keyword. New bookmarks are still saved, but no new summaries or embeddings are generated until you renew AI. Nothing is ever deleted.

Data shape

Every Bookmark in your export looks like this:

bookmark.json
json
{
  "id": "bm_01HXZ...",
  "url": "https://example.com/post",
  "title": "How vector indexes really work",
  "createdAt": "2026-05-09T12:30:00Z",
  "summary": "An accessible primer on HNSW and IVF...",
  "keyPoints": [
    "HNSW trades memory for query latency",
    "Recall vs. throughput is a tunable knob",
    "Postgres pgvector is good enough for <10M rows"
  ],
  "tags": ["databases", "vectors", "infra"],
  "sessions": ["sess_01HXY..."],
  "archive": {
    "available": true,
    "capturedAt": "2026-05-09T12:30:14Z"
  }
}
