IconSettings provides one-touch access to iOS settings with bookmarks

by Mike Schramm (Nov 15th, 2011)

IconSettings, from the South African blog iPhoneZA, is an interesting hack that lets you set up one-touch buttons on your iOS device to access specific parts of the Settings app (like turning Bluetooth on or off, toggling Airplane mode, adjusting date & time, etc.) without going to the ...

Daily Mac App: Xmarks

by Samuel Gibbs (Aug 8th, 2011)

Need to sync bookmarks across multiple platforms and/or different browsers? You need Xmarks. The service that was on its way out, then bought by LastPass, allows you to sync bookmarks to the cloud, between machines and between different browsers. Xmarks has extensions or plugins for Safari ...

Dear Aunt TUAW: Help me tame my bookmarks

by Erica Sadun (Mar 31st, 2011)

Dear Aunt TUAW, Help me Auntie! I've got a zillion--maybe 3 or 4 less--bookmarks. I want to validate the good ones and discard the bad. Is there an app for that? I mean automatically do this and then give me options for saving the good/tossing the bad and perhaps even seeing if the root ...

TUAW Tip: Sync your bookmarks to an iPhone or iPod touch with Xmarks

by Mike Schramm (Dec 30th, 2009)

I'm an avid user of Xmarks (formerly Foxmarks) as are probably many of you. I browse the Internet regularly on three different computers, and so it helps immensely to have all of my Firefox bookmarks and passwords synced. But the one fly in my ointment has been my iPhone's mobile Safari ...

I went to an Apple Store on Halloween and they gave me... a bookmark

by Steven Sande (Nov 1st, 2009)

Several TUAW readers have tipped us to the fact that many Apple Stores were in the Halloween spirit last night, handing out treats for ghouls, goblins, and Mac nerds who wandered by. However, it sounds like Apple was playing the anonymous homeowner to Charlie Brown, who always got a rock instead ...

SayAgain - an audio bookmarking app

by David Winograd (Sep 24th, 2009)

A few weeks ago we covered the Bookmark app, a subsystem for playing and bookmarking audio books. I was quite impressed with it, but some comments dinged it for not playing in the background when the app is closed. It also only handled audiobooks and some felt it would be more useful if it covered ...

TUAW Tip: use the Help menu to search Safari bookmarks and history

by Brett Terpstra (Nov 24th, 2008)

Note: This tip is Leopard-only, sorry Tiger holdouts. The Command-? trick is easily one of my favorites among the less-ballyhooed feature expansions of Leopard. If you missed that one, it allows you to search for menu items in any application by pulling down the "Help" menu, which can be triggered ...

Beta Beat: fruux keeps you in sync

by Michael Rose (Oct 8th, 2008)

One of the most frequent questions we hear from readers on our Ask TUAW posts (and for our doting Aunt TUAW) is a simple one, with no simple answer: "How can I replace the synchronization features of MobileMe with a free service or a software package that doesn't cost me $99 a year?" We feel your ...

Beta Beat: Delish

by Cory Bohon (May 7th, 2008)

If you're a Del.icio.us fanactic like I am, then you have hundreds, going on thousands of bookmarks. How do you view your 1,000+ bookmarks? If you use a web browser, then you're living in the dark ages. I am going to show you a better way to view your bookmarks that may leave you speechless. Delish ...

Keep your bookmarks in sync with BookIt

by Nik Fletcher (Jan 28th, 2008)

I have an admission to make: I change browsers on a fairly regular basis (normally, I'm found swapping between Camino and Safari in short succession as I struggle to find a nirvana between the two of them). But what to do with my favourites? Some people I know like to keep browser favourites ...

Delibar 0.9: del.icio.us menu gains performance and custom list options

by David Chartier (Jun 19th, 2007)

It's been a while since we've mentioned Delibar, the del.icio.us client from Shiny Frog that gives you access to all your bookmarks from the menubar, but a recent v0.9 update brings some noteworthy new features and enhancements. While you could already sort your bookmarks into nested folders ...

TUAW Tip: Camino does bookmarks in the Dock, Tab groups

by David Chartier (Apr 18th, 2007)

Camino is a great browser that exists somewhere in that place between Safari and Firefox. It's a spawn of Mozilla's darling browser, but it is decidedly far more Mac-like in its functionality and UI. Even cooler still is that Camino has plenty of tricks up its sleeve, such as the ability to add a ...

SafariDepot: who needs .Mac to sync bookmarks?

by David Chartier (Nov 29th, 2006)

Striking another blow to .Mac's usefulness, SafariDepot allows bookmark synchronization over FTP and FTPS (secure FTP). It's actually a clever little app that also includes a couple of scripts that are ripe for automation through Quicksilver, Login Items, cron jobs, and more. It's also smart about ...

dead.licious - bookmark verification made simple

by David Chartier (Oct 21st, 2006)

Online bookmaking systems are all the rage these days (I certainly rely on nothing but Pukka, delibar and Quicksilver's del.icio.us plugin now), but what if, while amassing your library of 'marks, some of them go dead, are taken down or otherwise disappear? dead.licious might just be the tool for ...

Delibar update fixes login problems

by David Chartier (Aug 14th, 2006)

I wish I had more to say about this update, like it doubles your Mac's performance or solves world hunger, but it mainly fixes login problems by updating to the new del.icio.us API. Delibar, for those scratching your heads, is what I consider the missing link of social bookmarking which actually ...
