A Complete Bookmarking Experience

Web bookmarks have been around as long as the web itself. It’s hard to imagine a web browser that didn’t have bookmarks.

Why do we bookmark webpages though? Sometimes we find a great page and want to keep it around as a reference, sometimes we find an interesting article that we want to read later.

Browser bookmarks are great when you have three sites you go to all the time. They don’t handle 300 bookmarks so well, especially if you are trying to keep your reading list separate from your references. Maybe you can create a read and unread folder, but managing that gets cumbersome.

And what if you want to take notes as you are reading? Or you want to find a bookmark but don’t remember the page title? Or you want to write a note about a group of bookmarks?

Dynomantle solves these problems to provide you with a complete bookmarking experience. Let us go through how.

We first need a way to add bookmarks. This can be done directly within the app

or through the browser plugin (available on Chrome and Firefox).

Every bookmark can be viewed in the app. While doing so, you have the option to take notes as you’re reading. This can be done with a pen tool (works best with a touch screen stylus) or with text blocks that can be dragged anywhere on the page (works best with a keyboard).

This helps with active reading so that you’ll take more away from what you read.

To avoid being distracted by links while you’re reading, Dynomantle provides an easy way to just add those links as bookmarks so you can go back to them later:

Dynomantle also gives you a flexible way to organize your bookmarks. You can create a list of bookmarks with a note.

You can also create topics so that you can group together lots of bookmarks and notes together.

You can choose not to sort anything and rely entirely on search. By default, the content of all your bookmarks is searchable. If you remember the title of the bookmark, it will show up as an auto-complete option as you type.

If you don’t remember the title, you can search any text that is related to the page. It will show up as a search result.

If you took notes about a bookmark or a group of bookmarks, those will show up in search results.

Most importantly, every bookmark can be marked as read or unread. This allows you to quickly sort through a long list of bookmarks to find what you still have to read. This can be done within a note:

or at the topic level:

Conveniently, you can also access a reading list that will contain all unread bookmarks you have.

If you ever feel the urge to doom scroll, you can instead come to Dynomantle to find an article you’ve been meaning to read!

Hopefully you’ve seen how helpful Dynomantle can be to you with managing your bookmarks. Every feature listed here is free and available when you sign up for Dynomantle.
