What it is
StowLink is a native bookmark manager for Mac with a free iPhone companion. It saves, organizes, and finds links locally, with optional iCloud synchronization. On Mac, a copied URL can be saved with Command-V or a global shortcut, even when the app window is closed. Bookmarks can be imported from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or a bookmarks.html export. Nested folders and notes organize saved links, while search covers title, URL, domain, description, and folder. Saved pages can show rich previews, including playable video previews. The Mac app requires macOS 14 or later; the iPhone app requires iOS 17 or later and can save through the Share Sheet. Device storage is the default, with optional sync through the user's Apple Account and CloudKit. Optional anonymous usage signals require consent and can be disabled, and the maker says they exclude saved URLs, titles, notes, folder names, license keys, and instance IDs. The iPhone app costs nothing. StowLink for Mac costs $14.50, paid once, supports two Macs, and allows ten links before unlocking the rest. A Windows version is not yet available.
