Hi all !
I just released the first version of Gosuki, a multi-browser real time bookmark manager I have been writing on and off for the past few years. It aggregates your bookmarks in real time across all browsers and even external APIs such as Reddit and Github.
- Github: https://github.com/blob42/gosuki
- Documentation: https://gosuki.net/
- Video Demo
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.
Feature Highlights:
- A single binary with no dependencies or browser extensions necessary. It just work right out of the box.
- Use the universal
ctrl+dshortcut 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
- Builtin, local Web UI which also works without Javascript (w3m friendly)
sukicli command for a dmenu/rofi compatible output- Modular and extensible: Run custom scripts and actions per tags and folders when particular bookmarks are detected
- Browser Agnostic: Detects which browsers you have installed and watch changes across all of them
- Also handles multiple profiles per browser
- Stores bookmarks in a portable sqlite database compatible with the Buku. You can use any program that was made for buku.
- Can fetch your bookmarks from external APIs (Reddit and Github for now).
- Easily extensible to handle any browser or API
It’s open source with an AGPLv3 license, Checkout the README and website docs for more details.
Edit: Multi device synchronization is not yet available but is on the top priority list and likely implemented in this next release.
Is android support planned?
The program relies on pulling the bookmarks out of the filesystem. I have no idea how feasible it would be on Android given the sandboxed nature of apps.
However, it is possible to manually export from time to time your bookmarks to a folder that is synced with Syncthing for example. Gosuki has a bookmark html auto import feature that watches a folder and imports all bookmarks files when a change is detected. This is how I am personally doing it right now.
This is a very effective workaround, and I am absolutely going to take this for a spin. I’m currently using LinkWarden with extensions in my browsers and the app in Android. However, the fact is that most people will want easy integration between devices, and this may turn out to be the one thing that keeps more users from adopting your software.
Having said that, thank you. People like you are the drivers of innovation.
Thanks for feedback, much appreciated. Yes I totally agree and multi device sync is a top priority that will be hopefully implemented in the next release.
I am developing this program out of personnel need so it keeps me motivated to keep improving it.
Dude, we the less technically blessed are very grateful that guys like you are willing to share your magic. Thanks so much.
I see. Thanks.
