Help

Everything you need to know about using LinkaGoGo.

Dashboard

The Dashboard is your start page. It displays toolbar cards — small widgets that give you quick access to your most-used bookmarks, recent additions, favorites, and more.

  • Customize — Click the Customize button to add, remove, or configure which cards appear on your dashboard. (Plus+)

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are the core of LinkaGoGo. Each bookmark stores a URL along with metadata to help you organize and find it later.

  • Adding — Click the + button in the toolbar or use the bookmarklet to save a new link.
  • Editing — Click on any bookmark to open it, then click Edit to modify its details.
  • Deleting — Use the Delete option in the bookmark's edit view or context menu.
  • Fields — Each bookmark has a title, URL, folder, keywords, and comments.

Favorites & Ratings

Mark your most important bookmarks as favorites for quick access.

  • Favorites — Click the star icon on any bookmark to toggle it as a favorite. Favorites appear in a dedicated dashboard card.
  • Ratings (Plus+) — Rate bookmarks from 1 to 5 stars to prioritize what matters most.

Reminders

Never forget an important link. Set reminders on individual bookmarks to receive periodic nudges. (Plus+)

  • Daily — Get a reminder every day.
  • Weekly — Get a reminder once a week.
  • Monthly — Get a reminder once a month.

Reminders appear in your dashboard.

Aliases & Smart Bookmarks

Speed up your workflow with aliases and smart bookmarks. (Plus+)

  • Aliases — Assign a short keyword to any bookmark. Type the alias in the search bar and press Enter to navigate directly to the URL.
  • Smart Bookmarks — Create bookmarks with %s in the URL. When you use the alias followed by a search term, %s is replaced with your query. For example, an alias g pointing to https://www.google.com/search?q=%s lets you type g pizza recipes to search Google instantly.

Folders

Organize your bookmarks into folders and sub-folders for easy browsing.

  • Creating — Click the + icon next to "Folders" in the sidebar to create a new folder.
  • Nesting — Drag a folder onto another folder to create a sub-folder, or choose a parent folder when creating.
  • Renaming — Right-click (or long-press on mobile) a folder and select Rename.
  • Deleting — Right-click a folder and select Delete. Bookmarks inside are moved to the root level, not deleted.
  • Drag-and-drop reorder — Drag folders in the sidebar to change their order.

Shared Folders

Share curated collections of bookmarks with anyone by making a folder public.

  • Making a folder public — Open folder settings and toggle "Shared." A public link is generated that anyone can view.
  • Sharing via link — Copy the public link and share it with friends, colleagues, or on social media.
  • Limits — Basic: 1 shared folder. Plus: 5 shared folders. Premium: unlimited shared folders with nested public sub-folders.

Find any bookmark instantly with powerful full-text search and prefix operators.

  • Full-text — Searches across title, URL, keywords, and comments.
  • Multi-term AND — Multiple words are combined with AND, so all terms must match.
  • Exclude with - — Prefix a term with - to exclude bookmarks containing that word. For example, recipes -dessert finds recipe bookmarks that don't mention dessert.
  • Navigate with Enter — Select a search result and press Enter to open the bookmark directly.

Prefix operators

Use prefix operators to filter by specific fields:

OperatorExampleMeaning
tag:tag:pythonKeywords contain "python"
-tag:-tag:miscExclude tag
url:url:github.comURL contains pattern
star:star:4 or star:3+Rating exactly 4, or 3 and above
fav:fav:yes / fav:noFavorites filter
visits:visits:10+ or visits:0Visit count filter
visited:visited:7d / visited:2w / visited:neverVisited within time period, or never. Units: h (hours), d (days), w (weeks), m (months), y (years). Add + for older than.
created:created:7d / created:3m / created:1y+Created within time period, or older than
modified:modified:1wModified within time period
status:status:dead / status:ok / status:redirectFilter by link check status. Also: status:uncertain, status:unchecked
ORtag:python OR tag:javascriptEither tag matches

Combine operators freely: tag:python tutorial star:3+ finds bookmarks tagged "python", containing "tutorial", rated 3 or above.

Import & Export

Bring your bookmarks from any browser or take them with you. (Plus+)

  • Import — Supports XBEL and Netscape HTML bookmark formats. Go to Account > Import to upload your file.
  • Export — Export all your bookmarks as XBEL or Netscape HTML from Account > Export.
  • Round-trip safe — All LinkaGoGo metadata (ratings, favorites, aliases, smart bookmarks, reminders, keywords, public folders) is preserved when exporting and re-importing via XBEL.

XBEL Format

LinkaGoGo uses the XBEL (XML Bookmark Exchange Language) standard with extensions for LinkaGoGo-specific features. The format is fully compatible with other XBEL readers — custom attributes are safely ignored by tools that don't support them.

The DTD is available at /xbel-linkagogo.dtd.
