Bindle

One page. Two lines per bookmark: the title, then the domain and tags. Rows never change height, so holding j feels like moving a cursor, not watching a page reflow.

Nothing needs the mouse. Press any of these now.

When you save a link, Bindle fetches the page, keeps the HTML, extracts the text, and indexes it. Search runs over that copy, not over titles. When the original moves, gets paywalled, or dies, press a and yours opens, dated the day you saved it.

Links are checked when they’re fetched. The ones that have already rotted are marked. You still have the copy.

The same list. Navigation moves to a bar in thumb reach, dialogs become sheets, and the row’s actions are always showing instead of waiting for a hover that won’t come.

Tags

How you file. Stack them, rename or merge one across the whole library in one move. Built for ten thousand bookmarks.

Lists

How you publish. Ordered, with a line on each link. Every list gets a page, an RSS feed, and a follow button; every link on it is archived.

Notes

Anything you save that isn't a URL. Same list, same search, same keys.

Private

Per bookmark. Private saves have their own feed with a secret URL.

Bindle is an MCP server. Add it as a connector in claude.ai or the Claude apps — URL below, then sign in — and Claude can search your library, read the full archived text of any page, save links, and build lists. Claude Code and other header-based clients use the same endpoint with your API token.

Import

A browser bookmarks file, a JSON export, or the CSV from Pocket, Raindrop, or Instapaper. Tags, notes, private flags, and dates come across; archiving starts immediately.

Export

One click. A bookmarks file any browser reads, or a zip that includes the saved copy of every page.

API

HTTP, in the delicious/pinboard dialect, so existing scripts and clients work unchanged. RSS for any view.

$20 a year. Everything is in it: unlimited bookmarks, the archive, full-text search, dead-link detection, private feeds, the API, the MCP server, export.

No free plan. A free plan is paid for by someone, and on the web that someone is usually you. No ads, no ad trackers, nothing sold.

Start14 days free, no card.

What does “archived” actually mean?

The moment you save a link, Bindle fetches the page from its own servers, keeps the HTML, extracts the text and indexes it. From then on you have two things: the bookmark, which points at the live page, and the archive, which is your copy. Search runs over the copy. When the original moves, gets paywalled or disappears, press A on the bookmark and the copy opens — the same words, dated the day you saved it.

Is there a free plan?

No. Every account gets fourteen days free with no card, and after that there is one plan at twenty dollars a year with everything in it. A free tier has to be paid for by someone, and on the web that someone is usually the user — through ads, tracking or a sold-off company. A small, honest price is what lets Bindle plan in decades instead of quarters.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your library goes read-only. Everything you saved stays searchable and exportable for as long as you like; you just can’t save anything new until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted and nothing is held hostage.

How do I save a page?

Whichever way is closest to hand: press N inside Bindle and paste a link; drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar and click it on any page; install the small browser extension; on a phone, share the page to Bindle from the share sheet. Scripts and agents can use the HTTP API or the MCP server. All roads end in the same archive.

Can I import from Pocket, Pinboard, Raindrop or my browser?

Yes. Bindle imports the standard browser bookmarks HTML file (which is also what Pinboard and Delicious export), JSON exports, and the CSV from Pocket, Raindrop or Instapaper. Tags, notes, private flags and original save dates come across intact, and Bindle starts archiving the whole lot as soon as the import lands.

Can I get my data out?

Always, in one click from Settings: a complete export of every bookmark, tag and note. There is also an HTTP API that speaks the long-established delicious vocabulary, so existing Pinboard tools keep working, and an RSS feed for any view. If Bindle ever had to shut down, you would get months of notice and a full export first.
