TL;DR
Hi all !
I would like to showcase Gosuki: a multi-browser cloudless bookmark manager with multi-device sync capability, that I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers/profiles and external APIs such as Reddit and Github.
Features
- A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
- Multi-browser: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them including profiles.
- Use the universal ctrl+d shortcut to add bookmarks and call custom commands.
- Tag with #hashtags even if your browser does not support it. You can even add tags in the Title. If you are used to organize your bookmarks in folders, they become tags
- Real time tracking of bookmark changes
- Multi-device automated p2p synchronization
- Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
- Cli command (
suki) for a dmenu/rofi compatible query of bookmarks - Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
- Stores bookmarks on a portable on-disk sqlite database. No cloud involved.
- Database compatible with Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
- Can fetch bookmarks from external APIs (eg. Reddit posts, Github stars).
- Easily extensible to handle any browser or API
- Open source with an AGPLv3 license
Rationale
I was always annoyed by the existing bookmark management solutions and wanted a tool that just works without relying on browser extensions, self-hosted servers or cloud services. As a developer and Linux user I also find myself using multiple browsers simultaneously depending on the needs so I needed something that works with any browser and can handle multiple profiles per browser.
The few solutions that exist require manual management of bookmarks. Gosuki automatically catches any new bookmark in real time so no need to manually export and synchronize your bookmarks. It allows a tag based bookmarking experience even if the native browser does not support tags. You just hit ctrl+d and write your tags in the title.
