Organizing Web Bookmarks Can be a Mess, Here’s an Easy Fix with Notion.
…and sync it across every browser and device!
When it comes to internet browsing, I’m all over the place. I switch between several different devices…Mac, PC, and an iPad, all with slightly different browsers, from Chrome, to Brave, to Safari.
After too many instances searching (and often not finding) a bookmark, I figured…why not build a bookmarks page in Notion?
It’s pretty easy and surprisingly effortless. With a few additional browser plugins, it works even better. Let’s dive in!
Why Create a Bookmarks Page in Notion?
There are plenty of bookmark managers out there, probably with a lot more features, but the key benefit to making a bookmarks page in Notion is ensuring it is synced across any browsers and devices you use regularly.
Sync Everywhere
I tend to jump around browsers and devices often, which makes the bookmarks library far less effective.
Customize the Look
If you prefer Notion’s minimal aesthetic to a browser start page with ads or a bunch of information, the gallery view gives you a clean, no frills page with just bookmarks.
Easily Capture Website Links
With the Save to Notion extension installed, saving websites is possible in just a few clicks.
1. Create a Bookmarks Database
The first thing we need to do is create a new page and database. In this example, we’re using a gallery, for a few reasons:
- Gallery cards allow us to display more bookmarks without scrolling
- We can optionally display tags, categories, or other properties
To create a Bookmarks page:
- Create a new page
- Inside the page, create a database, and select the gallery option
